Why might a dictator want to be in power?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: When democracy falls, usually, the country's elites feel that democracy no longer “works” for them so they push for a dictatorship with hopes of stabilizing the government. With only 1 person in power, things should seemingly run smoother. However, in most cases in the long run this only divides a country further into turmoil.

Explanation:

Dictators may rise to power in a democracy through several ways. One way is the result of political polarization, where the competing political sides no longer want to cooperate with one another, allowing violent or extremist groups to take over politics instead.

Also, democracy can fall when a country’s elites feel that democracy no longer “works” for them. When these elites feel that losing an election may mean forfeiting their power and influence over the country, they may seek to take over the country by force, turning it into a dictatorship. Or, democracies can fall the other (more subtle) way, when elites first grab on to power via democratic means, before then stripping away democratic rights.

Which of the following are implicated as drivers in global amphibian decline:

likoan [24]

Answer:

B. All of these are drivers

Explanation:

The populations of lot of amphibians, with rare exceptions, are constantly on the decline around the world. The main reason behind this is the human activity, as it has caused lot of changes, pollution, and dangers for the amphibian populations, which has led lot of amphibians to be on the verge of extinction.

The pollution, especially of the waters, has been a major factor for the decline of the amphibian population. Lot of very toxic chemicals have made the water unsuitable for living and poisonous, which systematically killed off the amphibian populations.

The habitat loss, as with any other group of animals, has left the amphibians without places to live. They have been left without their shelters, food sources, mating grounds, and they have started to die out.

The invasive species, especially the predatory ones, have also had big negative impact. The amphibians didn't had any defense mechanism against the introduced predators, so they were easy prey and their numbers rapidly went down.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Anytime observations need to be clarified. When an unusual condition need to be shown for later reference.

Explanation:

Instead of just recording the data the is sometimes important to be sketched out as the data observed is needed to be clarified and also sometimes there is an unusual condition that occurs and hence, it is important to sketch it so that it can be used for later reference.

Therefore, when we are aware of the situation we need not sketch the data.

raketka [301]

Answer:

D. the arrangement of mineral grains into a foliation

Explanation:

Due to the tectonic activity of the terrestrial lithosphere, igneous and sedimentary rocks formed in certain environments and under precise environmental conditions, can be subjected to new conditions (essentially pressure and temperature). Under the new conditions, and frequently under the action of tectonic stresses (linked, for example, to the formation of mountain ranges), pre-existing rocks are transformed texturally, structurally and mineralogically into a solid state, giving rise to metamorphic rocks. Its fundamental characteristic is to present blastic texture (i.e., solid state recrystallization), and in cases of deformation, anisotropic factories.

The petrographic characteristics of these rocks are especially complicated, given the solid state transformation processes that they have suffered, usually accompanied by intense deformation. Due to the gradual nature of metamorphic (and deformational) transformations, the characteristics of this type of rock also range from igneous or sedimentary to purely metamorphic.

Foliation

The term foliation (foliatus: leaf-shaped) refers to any planar (almost flat) arrangement of mineral grains or structural features of the interior of a rock. Although there is foliation in some sedimentary rocks and even in a few types of igneous rocks, it is a fundamental characteristic of rocks that have undergone regional metamorphism, that is, rocky units that have folded and deformed greatly. In metamorphic environments, foliation is caused, ultimately, by the compressive efforts that shorten the rock masses, causing the mineral grains of pre-existing rocks to develop parallel or almost parallel alignments. Examples of foliation are the parallel alignment of minerals with planar habit and / or elongated minerals; the parallel alignment of mineral particles and flattened edges; the compositional bandeado where the separation of dark and light minerals generates a laminar appearance, and the blackboard when the rocks easily separate into thin and tabular layers along parallel surfaces. These different types of foliation can be formed in many different ways, such as:

1. Rotation of elongated or planar mineral grains towards a new orientation.

2. Recrystallization of minerals to form new grains that grow in the direction of the preferred orientation.

3. Changes in shape in equidimensional grains to elongated shapes that align in a preferred orientation.

Answer:

Africa to Middle east to Asia and to Oceania and then to Eurasia and to America.

Explanation:

The human migration started around 2 million years ago form the continent of Africa, the early humans crossed the land bridges that were covered by water.

The population of the early homo sapiens migrated to Europe between the 130,000 and 115,000 million years ago. Reaching china through the nile valley and heading to the middle east into modern Israel by the Strait on the Red Sea at the time sea level was much lower and narrow.

The migration continued through Asia to the southeastern coast and entering the Australia 50,000 years ago. At the time of the last glacial maximum. Also, the coastal population around the southeast Asia grew with the dispersal of the humans giving rise to the old and the new world i.e America.

Paleo Indians emerged for central Asia crossing the Beringia land bridge between the eastern Siberia and present-day Alaska. Continued by the end of the last glacial peroid i.e 23,000 years BP.
