Why dose Canada have such a low population density
Nataly [62]
A large part of that land area is not conducive to farming or general use.  The Canadian Shield covers about a third of the nation.  The Arctic permafrost probably covers another third.  You cannot farm in either of these areas and the cost of building roads and infrastructure in or through these areas is very high.  Other areas have land that could be used for farming but the season is too short.  On the lands that are arable, Canadians are reasonably densely populated.  

<span>As to softened immigration process, the percentage of permanent residents (generally recent immigrants) has remained fairly steady at less than or at 1% of the population for at least 50 years.  Since the birthrates for multi generational Canadians (Canadians whose grand parents or before were immigrants) is so low, Canada needs immigrants to maintain the population at a sustainable level.  Yet the processes have not gotten easier.  The most recent iteration of the Immigration act has extended the time required for a landed immigrant to live in Canada before being eligible for citizenship (from three years in five to four years in six).</span>

Which rock cannot be found as a chemical sedimentary rock?
Lana71 [14]
The correct option is C.
Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is formed by physical weathering of parent rocks. It is usually made up of sand size particles of minerals, rocks, other organic materials and the cementing material that bind the sand grains together. 
Sandstone can not be found as a chemical sedimentary rock because it is formed by mean of physical weathering and not by chemical reactions of the rock.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

They are found near the equator

The temperature does not vary much

The animals often depend on camouflage for survival.

Explanation:

The bulk of the rainforest of the world straddles between 10 degrees north and south of the equator.

When you compare the temperature changes during a day in the tropics, it does not change too much. In some other climate, diurnal temperature changes is very wide e.g deserts.

Most organisms in the tropics relies on camouflaging as a means of survival. The biodiversity in the tropics is very high and a number of organisms coexists. In order for weaker and smaller organisms mostly the prey to survive, they have to camouflage and blend with the environment. Also, some predators also camouflage to deceive their prey.
