The reason why the Midwestern United States have a very fertile soil, but Canada doesn't, despite both of them being covered by glaciers until relatively recently, and both having the same age of soil, is the climate and vegetation.
Canada is much colder than the Midwest, its winters are longer, and the summers mild, while the Midwest has higher temperatures, prolonged period of drought, and seasonal rainfall.
Because of this, Canada has been covered by coniferous forests. They leave relatively little biomass, and also the climate is making the decomposition of the biomass very slow, thus resulting in relatively poor soil quality.
In the Midwest, the climate is perfect for the development of the grasslands. The grasses grown and die each year. They live a lot of biomass, and the higher temperatures contribute that the biomass decomposes pretty quickly, thus resulting in good quality soil.
There's three answers that are correct:
- food shortages
- inadequate health care
- unemployment
In stage 1 the two rates are balanced. In stage 2 they diverge , as the death rate falls relative to the birth rate. In stage 3 they converge again, as the birth rate falls relative to the death rate. Finally in stage 4 the death and birth rates are balanced again but at a much lower level.
Answer:
There are 37 time zones in place today
Answer:
Photograph: bird's eye view of a site; interview: personal analysis and biased; tax records: limited accessibility; biography: unreliability of human memory.
Explanation:
There are generally always some drawbacks when considering different sources of historical information and a good researcher has to take these factors into account. Photographs are limited because they give you very little context. Interviews can be limiting because you get a personal view from just one individual. Tax records are likely protected due to privacy concerns and statutes. Biography can have drawbacks as well because the person may embellish past events or overemphasize the significance or attribute meaning in ways that are not entirely truthful or objective.
