<h2>Answer:</h2>

Farmers in South America are not paid to protect rainforests.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In developing countries of South America, one of the major causes of deforestation is the need of land for agricultural purposes. The poor economy force people to look after agriculture to meet their needs. Farmers cut down acres of land of trees and burn the stump to release the nutrients.  

Crops harvested are used for food supply and sold in markets to earn some money. The process is repeated since farmers look for nutrients rich land. In the absence of trees, the soil loses nutrients in 3-4 years decreasing crop harvest. Therefore, farmers are forced to look for different farming land which increases the deforestation.

¿En qué países de Europa tendrán<br>mayores problemas debido a la disminución de población?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The vast majority of European countries will have problems because of population decline, with the ones in the eastern half of the continent being more affected.

Explanation:

As a whole, Europe is a continent that is having big problems with population decline. Just three countries in the continent experience slight population growth, while all others either stagnate or experience a decline. Now when it comes to birthrates and death rates, the differences are minuscule across the continent, but migration is something that makes the difference better.

While both the western and eastern half have low birthrates, the western, richer side doesn't really lose population but has a rough stagnation. This is due to the fact that it is an attractive destination for migrants, including migrants from the poorer eastern half of Europe, so the numbers are relatively static. The eastern half of Europe though, not just has low birthrates, but it also losses a lot of its population because it migrates toward the western half in search of a better life. Also, it is not very attractive for migrants from other regions, so it experiences a rapid population decline. The two most extreme cases in the last three decades are Macedonia and Bulgaria, each losing roughly between 20 and 25% of their populations.

Answer:

This question is incomplete, because there is no picture, but I attached one, related with the question. The correct answer Trade winds are shown as number 1.

Explanation:

Trade winds and permamnet winds which blow between Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Tropic of Capricorn (which is between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.

These wind always flows from Tropics towards the Eqautor, because around the Eqautor is permanent low pressure area, and around the Tropics is permanent high pressure area. Air always flows from high pressure towards low pressure area.

Due to Earth's rotation trade winds curve a little bit, a they become prevailing Northeasterly Trades (in Northern hemisphere) and Southeasterly Trades (in Southern hemisphere). Earth rotates in west-east direction, and that is the reason for their deflection.

Trade winds got their name in the Age of Discovery (14-15 century) when sailing around the world and explorations were very common. Explorers find out that in specific regions exist winds with permanent direction. That was very importnant in the Middle Ages, so explorers always followed their patterns. Term '<em>trade</em>' is actually from Middle English and it means '<em>track</em>'.
