Scorpion4ik [409]
The biggest threat for Mexico City is earthquakes - they are often caused by the nearby volcanoes, but the volcanoes are too far to truly threaten the city.

Monsoons are typical for other regions, such as India and Tornadoes are found more to the north, in the United States.

Which of the following statements is NOT true? Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.
Papessa [141]

The answer is; Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.

The atmospheric circulation does not keep the temperatures in an area constant, however, they regulate temperatures through convection currents. Hot air rises as cold air mass sinks to replace the rising hot less dense air. These currents transfer energy around the globe and prevent one area from overheating.

Deforestation is a big deal. Who benefits? Who loses?, Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Are there any alternatives to current
VladimirAG [237]

The deforestation generally brings loses, and the costs outweigh the benefits, though there are some methods that can turn things around.

Explanation:

The deforestation is a huge problem. It occurs because of the human activities, be it agriculture, mining, industry, expending cities etc. While all these things are benefiting the humans on the short run, on the long run it is devastating. The soil is not of good enough quality, so it can be used only for few years, the mining causes enormous pollution which is destroying the environment on the long run, same is done by the industry, and the cities bring in all sorts of problems, always bringing in big losses for nature.

There are alternatives though, as the forests can be used and to benefit humanity, but also to remain in good condition, and with it the ecosystems. When the trees are cut, same number of trees should be planted on the same places, thus making the forests sustainable. Also, fruit forests can be created gradually, and they will provide both the humans and animals with free and organic food in abundance. This matters a lot because if methods like this are not implemented, the forests will disappear, ecosystems will be destroyed, the humans will be left without lot of resources, and there will dramatic changes of all sorts on the planet, all of which negative.

Forests that are being constantly cut down and are getting destroyed are:

  • Amazon rainforest
  • The Congo rainforest
  • The rainforests of Southeast Asia
