Hoyt's model of land assumes that the city or business district is the epicenter.
The correct answers are:
- Polar ice caps would melt, increasing sea levels;
Because of the rise of the temperatures, the permafrost, glaciers, and polar ice caps would mostly melt. As they melt, they will increase the sea levels significantly because they will introduce much more water into the the seas and oceans.
- Wildlife would have to migrate or die;
With increasing sea levels, as well as change of habitats, lot of animals would find themselves in situation where they will have to migrate, because if they don't, they will find themselves in water and drown, or starve to death.
- Hurricanes and typhoons could increase in intensity;
Because the water in the sea levels will increase, and the water bodies will become even bigger, the hurricanes and typhoons will be able to become stronger and more intense, thus be more destructive as well.
<span>South American countries have been attempting to mirror the free market system of the United States since around 1980 (the "Washington Consensus"). This has lead to economic stagnation in these countries. In order to boost their own economies, they are now looking at the models of more productive nations whose economies are growing very rapidly and are attempting to mirror their market systems. The main countries being scrutinized are China and India, who have nationalized many of their industries/resources. This would explain the shift.</span>
