Which is NOT an example of how East Africans use the many lakes in the region? Question 6 options: to support agriculture to pro
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

to provide ports to the ocean

Explanation:

East Africa is a region that has several large lakes, located on the line of divergence between the Somali and Nubian plates, better known as the East African rift. These lakes are very important for the people living in the region. They are very rich in fish, so they provide lot of food. Because hey are large, they are also used for transportation and trade. There are other usages of them as well, such as the production of hydroelectric power, and providing water for irrigation of the agriculture. These lakes though are not connected to the oceans, so the ports are not providing any access to the oceans.

Why dose Canada have such a low population density
Nataly [62]
A large part of that land area is not conducive to farming or general use.  The Canadian Shield covers about a third of the nation.  The Arctic permafrost probably covers another third.  You cannot farm in either of these areas and the cost of building roads and infrastructure in or through these areas is very high.  Other areas have land that could be used for farming but the season is too short.  On the lands that are arable, Canadians are reasonably densely populated.  

<span>As to softened immigration process, the percentage of permanent residents (generally recent immigrants) has remained fairly steady at less than or at 1% of the population for at least 50 years.  Since the birthrates for multi generational Canadians (Canadians whose grand parents or before were immigrants) is so low, Canada needs immigrants to maintain the population at a sustainable level.  Yet the processes have not gotten easier.  The most recent iteration of the Immigration act has extended the time required for a landed immigrant to live in Canada before being eligible for citizenship (from three years in five to four years in six).</span>
