Explain why berg winds are regarded as a threat to farming communities along the East coast of South Africa
Ratling [72]

The Berg winds are winds that are forming in the plateaus deeper into the mainland. These winds move from the plateaus downwards towards the lowlands on the eastern coast of South Africa. The Berg winds are hot and dry winds and as they move they become even hooter because of the abiotic factors in the area.

These winds are very dangerous for the farming communities because they bring in very hot and dry weather with them. They dry out the soil and suck out every drop of moist out of it, and that combined with the hot weather they bring in is often devastating for the crops as they manage to destroy them, thus making a lot of damage for the farming communities that depend for their survival on those crops.

Explain the environmental challenges facing a rapidly developing Asia. Identify three challenges faced on this continent.
Lena [83]

Answer:

1. Endangered Species conservation

2. Air Pollution

3. Destruction of Coral Reefs

Explanation:

"Asia sits almost entirely in the tropics, and as such, is covered in rich, dense, biologically diverse jungle." Poachers, large companies exploiting land, small farms,(Etc), have always been a large factor of how hard it is to conserve the endangered species.

Small farms and large companies burn fires trying to clear land of trees(among other things.) So that then they can exploit the land the following year.

Over the past several decades, Asia's famous coral reefs have always been in dismay. This is the result of several factors like; 1. The ocean absorbs most of the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere each year. While this helps reduce the effects of global warming (temporarily), it also means that more of that carbon is going to be converted into carbonic acid, increasing the ocean’s acidity level.
