Question

Some rivers and seaports in Russia can freeze for six to nine months out of the year. Predict how this could affect trade and travel in Russia and how Russians may try to overcome this obstacle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Russia is a country just like any other. It has many citizens that rely on the ability to use waterways and seaports for trade and transportation. These waterways allow Russians to import goods such as food and clothing into the country and to export many natural resources that are scarce in other countries. When Russian seaports and rivers close for half of a year, trade and travel becomes very difficult. This can hurt the supply of goods available for Russians to consume. Items that are usually shipped to Russia maybe be scarce for six to nine months, or they may become more expensive because there are less of them or because shippers have to use more expensive means of transportation. Frozen seaports could also prevent Russians from sending goods to other countries. This means that Russians would have to find other ways to get their products to those countries, or they would have to sacrifice the money they could make on those products for half the year. This can hurt the overall economy of the country. These are issues that have made Russians consider different solutions. One way Russians can try to overcome this obsta

cle is by planning around the closed ports. They can overstock supplies that they import for the months the waterways and seaports are frozen. They could also just have a six-month shipping season and a six-month production season. Russians may also consider using other means of transportation for imports and exports. They could turn to automobiles, trains, or aircrafts to transport their goods. Another solution could include trying to advance their technology. For example, they could create ships that could cut through the ice and allow the seaports to remain open year-round.

Answer 2

Answer:

Russia is the largest country in the world, the ninth-most populous country, as well as the most populous country in Europe. The country is one of the world's most sparsely populated and urbanized. About half of the country's total area is forested, concentrating around four-fifths of its total population of over 146.7 million on its smaller and dense western portion, as opposed to its larger and sparse eastern portion. Russia is administratively divided into 85 federal subjects. The Moscow Metropolitan Area is the largest metropolitan area in Europe, and among the largest in the world, with more than 20 million residents.

The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. The medieval state of Rus' arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states, until it was finally reunified by the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the 15th century. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which became a major European power, and the third-largest empire in history. Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian SFSR became the largest and leading constituent of the Soviet Union, the world's first constitutionally socialist state. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first humans in space. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the Russian Federation and is recognised as the continuing legal personality and a successor of the Soviet Union. Following the constitutional crisis of 1993, a new constitution was adopted, and Russia has since been governed as a federal semi-presidential republic.
