Both deforestation and drilling oil wells can reduce what?

1 answer:

4 0

Drilling oil wells reduces deforestation. The oil extraction process results in the release of toxic drilling by-products into local rivers, while broken pipelines and leakage result in persistent oil spillage. In addition, the construction of roads to access remote oil sites also signifies take trees out of the way.

Deforestation reduces the habitat for millions of species. Eighty percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. It also affects climate change. Forest soils are moist, but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover, they quickly dry out. Trees also help perpetuate the water cycle by returning water vapor to the atmosphere. Without trees to fill these roles, many former forest lands can quickly become barren deserts.

dexar [7]

Answer:

D. Filing for a discharge petition

Explanation:

The best course of action for the congressman to take is 'the filing for a discharge petition'.

Normally, when a bill is introduced by a member of the House of Representatives, the speaker sends the bill to the relevant committee who then deliberate on it, seek expert advice etc. After the deliberations, the bill is then sent to the house for debate and possible voting for onward movement to the senate if passed by the majority.

In the event that the bill is stalled in the committee, the sponsor can file for a discharge petition. A discharge petition involves bringing out a bill from the committee that has spent at least thirty (30) days, without waiting for a report from the committee. To successfully file for a discharge petition, the sponsor must garner at least two hundred and eighteen votes (218) votes which is a clear majority.

Which European country lost control of Lebanon and Syria-their Middle East mandates-in the 1940s?

Taya2010 [7]

This European country is France. The mandate granted by the League of Nations to France to exercise the tutelage over Lebanon and Syria was definitively established on July 24, 1922, and put into effect one year later, on September 29, 1923. The territory of this mandate was composed of five states: Damasco, Aleppo, Alauita, Jabal al-Druze, and Greater Lebanon with Beirut as its capital. On September 21, 1939, the French High Commissioner suspends the Constitution, dissolves the Chamber of Deputies and appoints a board of directors with Abd Allah Beyhum as Secretary of State for the Government, after the Second World War broke out. In 1943, these territories declared their Independence and after three years of controversial negotiations, in the Security Council of the United Nations and in Paris, which concluded with the agreement of March 23, 1946, and the final evacuation of French troops on December 31 of the same year.
