Alina [70]

The correct answers are:

- Nations will adopt a universal language;

With the globalization, more and more languages are becoming endangered, and very soon will be gone forever. The reason with this is that with the globalization, there's also a language that is spread around, the English language, and the majority of the young population is very fond of it and learns it, neglecting their own language in meantime.

- More languages will become extinct;

Because the spreading of a universal language seems to be taken place, with the English language being the front runner, and because the young generations tend to focus on it more than at their own language, the native languages will die out relatively quickly in the future, at least most of them.

Why are humans interested in monitoring tides?..please help
viva [34]
It is especially important to monitor tides for people who rely on the sea for living - fishermen have to know the kinds of tides they are going to experience so as to decide whether to set off in search of fish or not. It is also quite important to monitor tides if there is some construction going on near the shore - for example, building bridges or docks, as when the tide comes, it may flood the whole thing. Scientists also study the tidal movements so as to better understand the circulation of the oceans. 
Hope this helps! :)
