Answer: B. Proximity to water sources needed for subsistence farming

Basically, Sub-Saharan Africa is a continent of small landowners and its environments are very sensitive. Even with low population densities the soil starts to degrade and future production is threatened by the use of traditional methods.

With the exception of humid zones, climatic realities result in constant crop failures because of drought or dry spells in the growing season. The composition of most African soils consists of highly weathered granite and gneiss parent material, and since the capacity of African soils to hold water is poor, rainfall infiltrates soluble nutrients.

Finally, once vegetation is removed, the erosive action of water and wind eliminates the top soil and crusts appear in the surface making it sealed against infiltration.

Explanation:

As far back in history as can be traced, slavery has existed in some form. Chattel slavery, or the owning of human beings as property able to be bought, sold, given, and inherited, is perhaps the best known form of slavery. Slaves in this context have no personal freedom or recognized rights to decide the direction of their own lives. The ancient Hebrew people were enslaved by Egypt for generations. Ancient Greece and Rome both relied on slavery as a means of forced labor for agriculture, household maintenance, and manufacturing of goods. In medieval Europe, slavery was practiced in Italy, Russia, France, Spain, and North Africa. Very often, slaves were members of one nation that was conquered by another. Throughout history, slaves have come from many different countries, ethnicities, and races.

Mia is taught to go to sleep when the light is turned off. however, for many months mia no longer falls asleep when the light is

Svetradugi [14.3K]

This is an example of spontaneous recovery.
There was no reason for Mia to stop sleeping when the light was turned off, but it happened. Similarly, even though there was no reason for her to manage to sleep with the lights off again, it happened as well. It was spontaneous, meaning that she didn't have to learn it all over again - it just happened.

In which courts do cases generally begin when the facts in evidence are heard and decided upon?

olga_2 [115]

I know preliminary court is basically seeing if it's worth going further in Criminal charges ( if it is a reasonable case) then you'll have grand jury trial in which a jury will decide if there's enough evidence to indict someone (if they feel the person is really guilty) and then you have criminal court when another judge and jury decide if the person is surely guilty or not and then the person can go free or be sentenced.
