After the fall of the former Soviet Union and the rapid disappearance of communism in Europe, the population of the former Soviet States were extremely happy about the situation, and with the help of the West most of the countries in this region made a move to democracy. These principal Central Asian countries are Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Unfortunately, ten years later the jubilation about the democratization process in this region has gone sour, and the reality today is that most of these countries are turning into Dictatorships. Even though, the governments of these countries promised to support democratic ruled, they are now clearly embarked in non-democratic ruled.
The western democracies are alarmed by these trend, and they are trying to do what they can but no one knows what the results will be.
<span>The sun's energy is absorbed by the top layer of the ocean water. The water molecules spread apart, become less dense, and cause movement of water. The energy from warmer water transfers to cooler water. Note: Satellite imagery allows you to see this process. Combined with wind currents, water of different densities that is mixing can be seen on the ocean's surface in the form of ripples or swirls.

A phylogenetic tree is also called an evolutionary tree and it shows the evolutionary relationships that exists among organisms called taxa based on their physical or genetic similarities and differences. The Phylogenetic tree consists of ingroup and outgroup. The ingroup consists of a group of closely related organisms or taxon while the outgroup represents a more distantly related group of organisms or taxon but as close as possible to the ingroup.
The Lily represents the outgroup in the phylogenetic tree while the Orchid are the ingroup. This is because the Lily is distantly related to the orchid.
Answer:
Illiteracy level
Explanation:
One of the main dimensions in which indications of poverty are separated is education.<u> Indication of literacy rate is included in this category – without a literate society, there is no education at all.</u>
The literacy rate is connected to poverty in the sense that illiterate people can’t go to school, and later pursue higher education. <u>This means they have a predisposition to have a low-paying job or to be unemployed, which lowers their income. This leads to poverty. </u>
Some other indicators of poverty are lack of job opportunities, malnourishment, lack of access to healthcare, lack of drinking water, and sanitation.
