Answer:
B. surface zone
Explanation:
I got c wrong on the unit test review.
Answer:
b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.
Explanation:
The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave. Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.
wind waves: small waves caused by the wind. These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.
seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin. They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.
tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.
tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet. We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.
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.
