Answer:

Deserts

Explanation:

A desert is a region on the earth surface with little to no rainfall all year round. Deserts also experience a wide range of temperatures daily. During the day, temperature is very high, at night, temperature falls rapidly and it is cold.

These extremes of conditions coupled with some other factors makes deserts badlands for plant growth. The soil is very lose here and contains little to no nutrients. Organic matter is non-existent due to low biodiversity.

Plants that grow in such conditions are called xerophytes. An example is cactus. They have evolved to survive and adapt to such extremes of conditions.

Examples of such deserts around the world are Sahara desert, Namib desert, Atacama desert, Kalahari desert etc.

Answer:

Desert

Explanation:

A desert is a vast dry area of land that can only support distinct vegetation. The plants that live here are adapted to the limited availability of water supply since it only receives little rainfall each year (about 250 mm a year). Temperatures in this type of biome are high so the evaporation and transpiration rate is a lot higher as well. The plants are distributed widely in this type of land, which is ideal to decrease competition for water among them.

Which of these outcomes is a positive effect of ecotourism on the<br> environment?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.

Explanation:

Options:

a. Ecotourism takes money away from conservation.

b. Ecotourism can exploit local peoples and increase crime rates.

<u>c. Ecotourism fosters appreciation of nature and local cultures.</u>

d. Ecotourism traffic can harm delicate ecosystems.

Ecotourism refers to a type of tourism that is sustainable and responsible. Although there have been many cases in which people are not responsible and actually cause harm to the environment, usually ecotourism could be extremely beneficial for both nature and the economy.

Ecotourism motivates people to care for nature, to appreciate fauna in the wild - instead of trapped in swimming pools or in a circus, to get to know people from other cultures such as tribes and indigenous groups and their lifestyles. Ecotouristic companies provide thousands of jobs and their tours also contribute significantly to the economy of a country. For instance, responsible whale watching provides millions of dollars yearly to the economy of Mexico. People are able to observe whales in their natural habitat, to listen to their vocalizations, and observe their natural undisturbed behavior.
