The process of desertification presents a serious impact on the well-being and health of the people living
in the areas affected by droughts and land degradation
on an unprecedented global scale. The worst situations
can be found in Africa, which is threatened because the

Organic farming, on the other hand, produces balanced, abundant food by relying on natural concepts such as biodiversity and composting.
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No latitudes are called <u>trade winds</u>
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Trade winds are the latitudes which cool and descend at 30 degree north and are areas with surface winds but these surface winds are light and unpredictable. These are the winds that blow towards the equator.
Trade winds blow at an average speed of about 5 to 6 meters per second and these winds are unpredictable. These winds are warm winds and therefore they pick up moisture and bring heavy rainfall.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. This maps represents the triangle trade.
Explanation:
The triangular trade was a slave trade in which manufactured goods such as alcohol, metal containers, clothing and firearms were transported from Great Britain (especially Liverpool). Cargo transported in Africa was exchanged for slaves transported to America or the West Indies. The slaves were replaced with sugar, cotton, rum and tobacco. For the shipowner, the deal was risky but very profitable. Each stage was profitable and the cost of the ship could be recovered in just a few trips. The triangle trade was practiced on a full scale since the 17th century and reached its peak in the late 18th century.
