If you look at the satelite map of the world, glaciers would appear white, yet most of the Earth's surface is green or brown - this suggests that it can't be too much. For example, in Africa only marginal parts (tops of mountains) are covered by glaciers.

The correct answer is 10% - mostly in Antarctica and Greenland.

If the Great Depression had not happened, would World War Il have been avoided?​
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

World War I’s legacy of debt, protectionism and crippling reparations set the stage for a global economic disaster.

Nearly two decades after leaving the White House, Herbert Hoover knew precisely where to place the blame for the economic calamity that befell his presidency—and it wasn’t with him. “The primary cause of the Great Depression was the war of 1914-1918,” the former president wrote in his 1952 memoirs. “Without the war there would have been no depression of such dimensions.”

The president scapegoated by many for the economic disaster certainly had the motive to point the historical finger away from himself, but some economists and historians agree with Hoover’s assessment that World War I was the foremost of several causes of the Great Depression.

LISTEN: Hope Through History - FDR and the Great Depression

“There can be little doubt that the deepest roots of the crisis lay in the several chronic infirmities that World War I had inflicted on the international political and economic order,” wrote historian David M. Kennedy. “The war exacted a cruel economic and human toll from the core societies of the advanced industrialized world, including conspicuously Britain, France and Germany.”

“World War I and its aftermath is the dark shadow that hangs over the entire period leading up to the Great Depression,” says Maury Klein, professor emeritus of history at the University of Rhode Island and author of Rainbow’s End: The Crash of 1929. “Pick any policy you want, and you can see how it leads back to World War I.”

America Retreats From the World

While the United States emerged from World War I not only as the world’s leading economic power, but scarred by its involvement in what many Americans saw as a purely European conflict. The disillusionment with World War I led to a retreat from international affairs.

“America was going to make the world safe for democracy and came out disgusted with the whole thing,” Klein says. “The United States emerged as the logical leader on the world stage and then cut out of that role.”

Not wanting to be saddled with the cost of a European war, the United States demanded that the Allies repay money loaned to them during the conflict. “The Allies took the position that if they had to do that, then they would have to collect reparations from Germany that could be used to repay the war loans,” Klein says.

German Reparations Weigh Down Europe

Council of Four at the WWI Paris peace conference, May 27, 1919 (L - R) Great Britain Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Italian Premier Vittorio Orlando, French Premier Georges Clemenceau, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. The treaty signed at the conference saddled Germany with billions of dollars in reparations.

As a result, the punitive Treaty of Versailles required Germany to pay billions of dollars in reparations to Great Britain, France, Belgium and other Allies. “The Peace is outrageous and impossible and can bring nothing but misfortune,” wrote economist John Maynard Keynes after resigning in protest as the British Treasury Department’s chief representative to the peace conference. In his international bestseller The Economic Consequences of the Peace, Keynes argued that the onerous reparations would only further impoverish .

Which of the following statements regarding civil liberties and civil rights is correct? *
Olin [163]

Answer: Civil liberties impose limits on the government's ability to interfere in our individual lives

Explanation:

Civil rights are there to ensure that people are treated equally in a country regardless of some of their characteristics such as race, gender or disability.

Civil liberties on the other hand are those basic freedoms that people should have in a country. In the U.S. that includes the Bill of Rights which protects things like: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the right to privacy.

Civil liberties therefore limit the government's ability to interfere in individual lives by guaranteeing the freedom of individuals to live a certain way.

Fossil fuels are of great importance. A lot of energy is produced from coal, oil and natural gas all of which are fossil fuels.

Forest is the most important natural resource which helps in economic development. Forest provides paper, furniture, timber, medicine, gum, etc. Also, it maintains a balance in the ecosystem. Moreover, it prevents soil erosion and protects wildlife.
