The exposed portion of the
continental crust underlying North America refers to Canadian Shield. The continental
crust is known as the North American Craton which consists of rocks from the
Archean dn Proterozoic eons and extends from Mexico to Greenland. Canadian
Shield also produces great resources that helped most humans for their economic
development. Because of the resources present in the Shield, it has a great
disadvantage to settlers. The primary obstacle to population growth in the area
is the presence of the bare rock, thin soils, muskeg and insects.
Answer:
B. The Channel Tunnel connecting the United Kingdom and France reduced travel time between these nations
E. Land has been cleared to make room for France's famous vineyards
F. A highway through Mount Blanc connects Italy and France
Explanation:
One of the five themes of geography is the human-environmental interaction. The human-environmental interaction basically means that the humans and the environment interact with each other and affect each other, sometimes in positive manner, sometimes in negative manner. There are many examples for this geographic theme across the globe.
The Channel Tunnel between the UK and France is an underwater tunnel. Its purpose is to make the traveling easier and faster between the two nations. It has been built in the sea waters, and fortunately it is not having any negative impacts on the environment.
France is one of the biggest producers of vine in the world. In order to have the amount of grapes needed for France to produce lot of vine it needs lot of agricultural land. This has been accomplished by clearing the land from the wild vegetation over time. While this has had a very positive impact on the economy of France, it has had very negative effect on the wildlife as it has totally ruined the habitat for lot of species.
Italy and France are separated by a massive mountain range, the Alps. The Alps are very large and very high, but nonetheless the humans managed to find ways to build highways through them despite all the difficulties. The highways are state of art through the Alps, and they are very useful for the countries in the region as these highways connect them, and not making them isolted. It has not been so great for the environment though, as lot of changes have been done to the mountain range, and every day there's thousands of animals that die on the highways.
Answer:
A. Egypt
Explanation:
The Hebrew traditions say that a men named Moses was the one that led the Hebrews out of Egypt and into the Promised Land, somewhere around 1250 BCE. According to the legend, Moses was a men that communicated with God, so he was well respected among the Hebrews. Because the Hebrews were enslaved by the Egyptians and treated very badly, they wanted to escape into freedom, but were afraid to do so. Moses was not afraid though, and he openly stood up to the pharaoh and led the Hebrews out of Egypt successfully, eventually reaching the Promised Land.
The existence of Moses as a historical figure is disputed by the historians though, as there are no evidence of any sort that he actually existed, so he is thought to be a mythological figure. On the other hand, it is thought that there is a possibility that a men with this name existed in the 13th century BCE, and that he was well respected and had some leading role among the Hebrews, so latter numerous things, often exaggerated, were attributed to him.
