Answer: The answer is "Hoovervilles."

Explanation: These shanty towns were derogatorily named "Hoovervilles" after U.S. President Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), since they were improvised and deficient slums built in the United States during the Great Depression, which started when Hoover became President - and many people blamed him for it. Extremely poor people, homeless and unemployed, lived in them, often crowded together in small shacks. For the most part the shacks were built with cheap and unsuitable materials, and the living conditions in them were unhealthy and very unpleasant. Some of these shanty towns got to accommodate thousands of people.

Why do crops ripen quickly in Alaska? the days are long the days are short the climate is hot the climate is cold
Andre45 [30]

Answer: the days are long

Explanation:

Alaska experiences some very unusual weather to say the least due to its position so far north of the equator. While some parts of Alaska can go months without seeing the sun, in growing season it is almost the opposite.

During growing season, Alaska experiences very long days with 17 hours of sunlight being in the norm in some areas. This much sunlight is beneficial to plants who take advantage of it and ripen faster so that even though growing season is short in Alaska, they are able to grow quite a significant amount of food.
