The second assumption is that there is something exceptional about Africa, that while other continents and peoples have got or are getting richer, Africans, for reasons we can think but no longer speak in polite company, choose to remain in poverty. Our capacity to see Africa as divergent lets us off the hook so we don’t have to understand our own complicity in the challenges various African countries face today. It also means we rarely rage as we should against the actions of the corporations and governments that profit from instability, corruption or even inexperience (African negotiators at the climate talks have historically been disadvantaged by their lack of experience and the expectation among western negotiators that they should be grateful with whatever they get).
If there is, then, no innate propensity for corruption, violence or poverty in Africa, then the narratives that fuel the stereotypes need questioning. One possible explanation comes from the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, who said: “The west seems to suffer deep anxieties about the precariousness of its civilisation and to have a need for constant reassurance by comparison with Africa.” Perhaps it’s not Africa that needs saving, but us.
Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.
<u>Answer</u>: e) Volcanic activity in the region leaves behind valuable minerals.
<u />
<u>Explanation</u>: Volcanic activity has played an important role in the creation of the Cascade Mountains as they were originally created through the subduction of two continental plates.
It is well known that gold deposists are often found through volcanic systems. Water heated by volcanoes will become very acid and thus dissolve surrounding rocks. This water that will contain gold and other metals will then follow fractures through the bedrock towards the surface. In time, these will turn into gold veins or lodes.
A trade barrier is something that stops countries from freely trading with each other (this can be as a result of conflict)
For example, In China and India, through wars, a gradual trade barrier has been created due to the fact that the countries are going through warfare tension

There are some important parameters in such situations that need to be investigated. Things such as the speed of the phenomenon, the risks associated with it and the affected communities/sites are important.
A) The first choice regards the speed of the rising as well as the inherent risk in that, so it is TRUE.
B) The second choice is rather irrelevant to the problem of flooding; the temperature of the water is a parameter that does not affect the flooding, the risk etc. So it is FALSE.
C) Tourism is an important consideration but the first consideration should be the health of people and inquiring about tourism does not help avoid a natural disaster. So it is FALSE.
D) The rate of the rise is important to know for future planning and in order to help with current models. So it is TRUE.
E) The affected towns are an important parameter in minimizing the impact of a natural disaster and hence it is helpful. So it is TRUE.
