GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

America is located in the Noerthern and Western Hemispheres

Explanation:

Ok so there are two lines that cut the earth in half, one that goes horizontally called the equator, and one that goes vertically called the prime meridian. the equator divides the world into the northern hemisphere on the top half, and the southern hemisphere on the bottom half. the prime meridian divides the world into the western hemisphere on one side, and the eastern hemisphere on the other. so those two lines kind of make a grid, if you know what i mean. if you look, north america is located on the noethern and western hemisphere, because it is north of the equator, and west of the prime meridian. thank me

Describe four expected impacts of global warming.
yawa3891 [41]

Many impacts can be  brought by global warming, here I would introduce two impact each on the aspect on ecosystem and agriculture.

On ecosystem:

1. Shift in distribution of plants:

The changes in climate brought by global warming will alter the natural distribution limits for vegetation. For example, forests are moving north into the ;and that was once Arctic tundra, while the growing season increased in northern high latitudes.

2. Extinction or endangerment of species

Species may not be able to cope with climate change unlike human, hence intolerance of the increasing temperature may led to the extinction of spices. For example, coral reef cannot survive under temperature over 30 degree Celsius hence facing the danger of extinction.

On agriculture:

3.Farm production lowered

A warmer climate would lead to a loss of soil moisture hence increasing the erosion rate, and the dry soil will lower the land productivity as crops cannot grow on these barren land, especially water thirsty crops such as rice.

4.Farm production destroyed

Pests may become more active given the shorter and warmer winter, while floods may be present more often given the rapidly rising sea level and the instability of the climate.

Hope it helps!

Which of the following is true about Eastern Orthodox art and music?
notsponge [240]
I believe the correct answer is <span>B. The art and music of this religious group is part of their historic tradition and can even be studied in non-religious or public school classes.
Art can never be separated from history - they are intertwined and almost always studied together. The same thing goes for Eastern Orthodox Christians - they study art and music as part of some of their subjects in school, regardless of the fact that they are considered to be 'religious.'
