Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Erosion is the process of abrasion, transport and sedimentation of soil, subsoils and rocks as an effect of the action of erosive agents such as water, winds and living things. The process of disintegration of rock particles (called sediments) is caused by the action of weathering (a set of chemical, physical and biological processes that cause soil and rock wear). These sediments are transported by the action of gravity and surface elements.

There are various types and ways of classifying and dividing erosions, varying according to their speed, sphere of influence, causative agent or geographical location.

First, there is the conceptualization that divides erosions into geological and accelerated erosions. Geological erosion is one that involves a slow and gradual process, properly constitutive of the various existing relief forms, such as the formation of valleys through which the rivers pass. Accelerated erosion, on the other hand, is the one that generally involves human activities and which usually results in the rapid destruction or damage of soils.

Second, erosions are classified according to their intensity, segmenting them into laminar erosion, erosive grooves, ravines and gullies. Laminar erosion is the washing of soil (removed from the surface layer of sediment) by rainwater or wind; erosive furrows are the stratifications or “paths” left by water in the soil; the ravines are slightly more severe holes or damage; and gullies manifest themselves when erosion is deep enough to reach the water table.

What is your reflection on the lifeboat ethics by hardin (a half page answer)?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lifeboat is a boat, specially made to move from land to sea to help people who are in difficulty. Garrett James Hardin, an American environmentalist uses this description of lifeboat to warn of the dangers of human overpopulation which does not only affect the populated nations but everyone. The rich people (mostly the Americans) are the ones in the lifeboats, and the poor ones are in the waters swimming and trying to board any of the lifeboats. The nations who are like lifeboats have a specific-carrying capacity (or limited amount) that should not be exceeded.  

If there are fifty people in the lifeboats with ten free spaces that could be given to hundred poor people waiting to be saved, further explanations were offered by Hardin on what to be done. Allowing everyone in, which would mean hundred and fifty people are in the boat at the same time could make it sink. The ten spaces could be offered on who arrives first or the best ten from the hundred poor people could be allowed to come on board. There are some people, among the lucky fifty rich people who would feel guilty according to Hardin, that the remaining ninety could die and so they are willing to give-up their spaces for the less fortunate ones. The best solution would be for no one to be allowed into the boat, preserving the lucky fifty from sinking with the boat as stated by Hardin.  

Nations are not actually lifeboats and the human race have grown beyond being measured to have a limited number of persons it can contain as stated by Hardin. The possible maximum number of persons a particular area can contain should never be important to mankind where there is a terrible event affecting human beings. Also the lucky fifty in the lifeboats may think they are safe, but they could be affected by a huge wave in the sea that would make the entire lifeboat nations to drown.

Thepotemich [5.8K]
The key component in the globalist bid for world government has been their transcending nation states into regional governments, ending national sovereignty, then later, these into a world government. North America must one day be a single country commonly referred to as the North American Union following the model they used for the European Union. Americans must be made to accept open borders.
