Answer:

The US government's policy towards Haitian refugees is to treat them as economic refugees. The US government's policy towards Cuban refugees is to treat them as political refugees.

Explanation:

Haitian refugees:

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with a per capita income of about $100 per year. The U.S. government classifies Haitians as "economic" and not "political" refugees. This makes it easier to deport them. The US government has also traditionally been supportive of repressive regimes in Haiti, like Duvalier and his son who were longterm leaders like a family dynasty in Haiti. Another figure of Haitian politics who has sometimes been in favor of the US government, and at times in disfavor is Jean-Bertrand Aristide. It is alleged that the USA orchestrated two coup attempts again Aristide in 1991 and then his forced exile in 2004. The USA plays a more active role in Haitian politics and who assumes power than it does in Cuba.  In 2015, there were reportedly 676,000 Haitian migrants in the United States.

Cuban refugees:

In contrast, Cuban refugees are considered political refugees and the US government does not support the Castro regime nor his brother who was also the President of Cuba after Fidel's death (the President is now Miguel Díaz-Canel).  There is also a substantial and powerful Cuban-American population, especially in the state of Florida. The majority of the 1,172,899 current Cuban exiles living in the United States live in Florida. They can influence politics in the state and also at the federal level because of their power as a community. Most Cuban-Americans are anti-Castro and thus they support the embargo against Cuba.

1. aquifers
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

I'll assume you have to match the name with their definitions.

1. aquifers

underground water sources  

That's because of the presence of porous rocks that let water pass through them and reach an underground cavern that then acts as a tank.

2. delta  

a broad, triangular-shaped land area at the mouth of a river

That's common especially in larger rivers that meet their destination point (usually the ocean).

3. oasis  

a small fertile area in the desert, usually a place where water is close to the surface (plural - oases)  

We all heard about oases in the desert, where human and animals alike gather to drink.

4. rain shadow  

an area that receives less precipitation because of its location on the leeward side of a mountain

That's common in high mountains region where the mountains are so high they block the passage of clouds to the other side.

A plane leaves Charlottetown, PEI at 12:00pm on Saturday, May 2nd. The destination is Yellowknife, NWT. The flight takes 17 hour
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: 5am on Sunday, May 3rd.

Explanation:

Plane left at 12pm and takes 17 hours.

Add 12 and 17:

= 12 + 17

= 29

There are 24 hours in a day. The number of hours into the next day is therefore:

= 29 - 24

= 5 hours

If the plan arrives 5 hours into the next day, that would mean that it arrived at 5am. Date of the next day is May 3rd, a Sunday.
