Which of these outcomes is a positive effect of ecotourism on the<br> environment?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.

Explanation:

Options:

a. Ecotourism takes money away from conservation.

b. Ecotourism can exploit local peoples and increase crime rates.

<u>c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.</u>

d. Ecotourism traffic can harm delicate ecosystems.

Ecotourism refers to a type of tourism that is sustainable and responsible. Although there have been many cases in which people are not responsible and actually cause harm to the environment, usually ecotourism could be extremely beneficial for both nature and the economy.

Ecotourism motivates people to care for nature, to appreciate fauna in the wild - instead of trapped in swimming pools or in a circus, to get to know people from other cultures such as tribes and indigenous groups and their lifestyles. Ecotouristic companies provide thousands of jobs and their tours also contribute significantly to the economy of a country. For instance, responsible whale watching provides millions of dollars yearly to the economy of Mexico. People are able to observe whales in their natural habitat, to listen to their vocalizations, and observe their natural undisturbed behavior.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continenal drift ?
Levart [38]

<u>Answer:</u>


<u>The Continental drift</u> is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. This hypothesis was developed in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, who affirmed <u>that thousands of years ago there was a single and unique supercontinent, called </u><u>Pangea</u><u>, which later became separated. </u>

His formulations were based mainly on the way in which the forms of the continents seem to fit on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Africa and South America. He also took into account the distribution of certain fossils that coincided in continents far from each other.

<h2>At first this approach was discarded by most of his colleagues, because <u>his theory lacked a logical and geological explanation for its epoch. </u></h2><h2></h2>

He proposed that the continents move on another denser layer of the Earth that made up the ocean floor. But it was not until the 1960s, with the development of the theory of tectonic plates, that the movement of the continents could be adequately explained.
