Using complete sentences, describe two benefits and two environmental concerns about China's Three Gorges Dam.

1 answer:

4 0

The Three Gorges Dam is one of the largest dams in the world, both by size and by the accumulation of water by it. The dam has its own benefits and its environmental concerns, as it is the case with most of the dams, especially the big ones.

Benefits from this dam are the irrigation and production of electricity. The dam is able to produce very large amounts of electricity, and considering the energy demand in China it comes in very handy. In the drier parts of the year this dam also provides much needed water for irrigation of the farmlands.

Environmental concerns from this dam are the negative effect on the living organisms and the increase of floods. The living organisms are restricted in their movement, the water is warmer, and their habitat changed, and all of that results in decline in numerous species. The dam stops and accumulates the water, and that causes problems in the upper parts of the river as the water is flooding more often and more dramatically as it can not pass through, resulting in big damage and life losses.

When Queen Elizabeth II of Britain Jose dinner for the president of France she is playing a role most similar to the role played

Viktor [21]

The correct answer is A) Head of state.

When Queen Elizabeth II of Britain hosts a dinner for the president of France, she is playing a role most similar to the role played by the President of the United States as Head of state.

One of the most important roles of the President of the United States is being the Head of State when he welcomes another President, Primer Minister, King, or King. The US President also is teh Chief diplomat of the nation.

That is why in this kind of diplomatic event, the official protocol states that it is the President the most important figure of the government -as in the case of Queen Elizabeth II- the ones that act as the highest diplomatic representative of the country.

How did the Greek mythology ways pass on to the Roman mythology ways.

Katen [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

I will start out by pointing out that the Romans have a significant amount of religion/mythology that has nothing to do with the Greeks.

1) Saturn, Quirinus, Janus, Dis Pater, Liber, and the Lares are all Italian gods without an equivalent from Greek culture. These gods were worshiped in Italy before the Greek influence crept in.

2) Romans have Gods from several other cultures: they incorporated the Anatolian goddess as “Magna Mater”, borrowed Isis and a number of Egyptian gods from Egypt.

3) The Greek Gods themselves are not all Greek. Apollo seems to have migrated into Greece from the Middle East, and in fact, there are many similar characters in Babylonian, Etruscan, and Egyptian mythology. Also, since Greece was not a unified country until very recently, there were a large number of Greek deities with similar identities and different names, as well as gods with the same name, but completely different portfolios (in some places, Venus was a goddess of war!)
