Which process produces rising air due to unequal heating of Earth’s surface?

Geography
1 answer:
seraphim [82]4 years ago
3 0
The answer for the first question is localized convective lifting. Air in the atmosphere rises when there is unequal heating of the Earth's surface. This is due to its buoyancy. Colder air then sinks, as the hotter air replaces it. 

The answer for the second question is freezing rain. Freezing rain is formed when snow passes through above freezing air atop a layer of below freezing air near the surface of the Earth.

Why does india attract FDI (foreign direct investments) from TNC's (Transportation network companies) -4 marker-
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Developing countries greatly need to boost economic investment in order to spur growth, boost jobs, transfer advanced technologies, reduce poverty and increase their capacity to expand social welfare programmes. Towards this end, most have constructed and coordinated vigorous policies to attract new foreign direct investment (FDI) and India is no exception to this (OECD, 2002; Stiglitz, 2006; Rao and Dhar, 2011b). Transnational corporations (TNCs), the source of most FDI, are powerful actors in the global economy and they, in turn, try to get the best possible deals from governments who are desperate to host them. In such a charged economic and political environment, there is no guarantee that FDI will implant these desired assets (Nunnenkamp, 2002; OECD, 2002; 2008; Lipsey, 2003). Indeed, there is evidence to suggest that TNCs bring a great many risks, as well as benefits, including labour exploitation, corrupt practices, including bribery, and the ability to unduly influence policy outcomes and monopolise domestic markets (Madeley, 1999; Richter, 2001; Farnsworth, 2004). Thus, TNCs carry great risks, for the citizens, economies and local communities of host countries enticing FDI in the hopes of securing seriously needed development assistance. This thesis analyses the potential benefits and disadvantages of FDI to India and its citizens as reported by elite policy stakeholders. The research is based on qualitative interviews in New Delhi, India with 40 participants from NGOs, IGOs, and policy and research organisations that target economic and social development issues. In addition, it utilises documentary and policy analysis methods in order to investigate India’s investment and development strategy through the Indian investment bureaux. Through this analysis, the thesis reveals that FDI to India brings both benefits and disadvantages to its citizens and economy. India’s current growth model is catering to the middle class consumer and employment needs and in this regard, FDI has increased opportunities and brought advantages. However, FDI is not bringing much benefit for those in the lower social classes. What’s worse, it is attributed to socioeconomic ills such as widening inequalities, increased social tensions, land displacement and the transport of low levels of global value chains which are rife with poor working conditions and exploitation.

Which statement about fishing in russia is true​
eimsori [14]

Remember the saying,

<em>"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man how to fish and he will eat forever"</em>

Well the Gopniks in Russia wrongly translated with saying to: teach a man how to become a fish and he will eat forever. So during the 1970-90s the gopniks all gathered near the lakes in order to satisfy their famine from communist regime. Unfortunately humans can not breathe under water so, fisherman in present day are still recovering bodies from the bottom of these lakes of these gopniks. Thousands still remain in lakes across this nation.

What was the name for the tectonic force that moved the North American Plate westward, breaking it away from Europe and Africa,
miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>Mantle convective current</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The North American Plate is a tectonic plate that covers most of North America, Greenland, Cuba, the Bahamas, extreme northeastern Asia, and parts of Iceland and the Azores. It is Earth's second largest tectonic plate, behind the Pacific Plate. It is thought to be moved by the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.
