Geography
1 answer:
posledela3 years ago
6 0

In general, the human impact on the natural resources is negative.

Explanation:

The humans constantly stride to be as developed as possible and to live at a higher standard as possible. This means that the economies constantly need to progress, develop, and grow. In order for this to be achieved the humans need natural resources, mostly for energy, but also for numerous other things.

Because the demand for natural resources is constantly on the rise and it seems that it will be in the future as well, the natural resources are spent at a rate much faster that the time needed for them to replenish naturally. This leads to decrease of the natural resources and eventual putting end to some of them, in a process that benefits the humans for now, but on the long run can only be seen as destroying and over-exploration of these resources.

1. Susan is a space scientist who made this diagram of the Moon and Earth, as seen from above (top view), with sunlight coming f
Sophie [7]

Answer:

d . Because Susan’s diagram is showing that the half of the Moon that is facing the sun is lit by the sun, and the other half is dark

Explanation:

We can see on the diagram on the left side arrows that show the way from which sunlight appears.<u> It only lights up the left side of the sun, while the right one stays dark.</u>

<u>The moon does not produce any light or energy on its own, so only the side that is facing the Sun at the moment is lit up. </u>That is also the only side we can see from the Earth.

Because of the way and pace Earth and moon move through space and around their own axis, we can only constantly see only one side of the moon. The other side always stays dark, and it is often called the “far side of the moon”.

The position of the sun and moon also determine the phases of the moon we see from the Earth. If more of the moon is visible, that means the moon is positioned to directly face the sun and be lit up. If we don’t see much, the sun lights up only that portion of the moon.

Where did the original atmospheric oxygen come from
faust18 [17]

The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.

The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.
