The correct answer is - True.

In Western and Central Africa, the risk of maternal death is very high, and it accounts for 1 in 17. There's multiple factors that contribute to this terrible statistics, like the bad medical system, bad economies, lack of infrastructure, practicing giving birth at home etc.

The sheer fact that the biggest portion of the women in this regions in Africa do not have access, or it is very limited to the medical institutions, creates huge problems, as the pregnant women are not treated properly, so they die from infections or complications very often.

Also, the tradition of giving birth at home, is a huge problem, as the conditions are highly unhygienic, and the births are performed by unqualified people that use some traditional and primitive methods.

What noticeable effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy? What role does altitude play in that pro
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • As the air over the earth surface gets warmed due to the solar radiation coming from the sun which directly heats the upper atmosphere of the earth and thus the air gets heated up and rest light or energy is absorbed by the ground and reflected into the atmosphere.
  • Similarly, the altitude has a major role to play in this process as the place near the tropics and equator air is less dense and hence higher absorption as compared to the higher latitudes the air becomes denser and hence lear absorption takes place.
  • Also with regards to the atmospheric cloud patterns the earth temperatures changes as these bring winds and rainfall and these cool the temperature over the hotter places like air moves from high pressure to low pressure and visa Versa.

Delicious77 [7]

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometers (1,400 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers (133,000 sq mi).

<h3>What are coral reefs?</h3>

Coral reefs are underwater structures made from calcium carbonate secreted by corals. Coral reefs are colonies of tiny living animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, which in turn consist of polyps that cluster in groups.

<h3>Coral Reefs of India:</h3>

India has four coral reef areas: the Gulf of Mannar, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep Islands, and the Gulf of Kutch. Coral reefs protect humanity from natural calamities. They provide revenue and employment through tourism and recreation.

<h3>Coral Reefs of Australia:</h3>

The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia, and is separated from the shore by a strait that is up to 100 miles wide and 200 feet deep in places. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest single structure built by living beings, visible from space.
