Answer and Explanation:

1. The individual can perceive that he is part of the environmental balance and his actions can maintain this balance or destroy it, but destroying it would cause intense problems, which makes the individuals see themselves as the main responsible for maintaining the environmental communities. .

2. Individuals must maintain balanced and healthy consumerism as an individual responsibility, avoiding the waste of materials and their inappropriate disposal in the environment. The role of the individual in this case is to avoid overexploited exploitation and pollution by communities with less technological materials. An example of this can be seen with the constant launch of increasingly technological cell phones, which encourage an irrational purchase and the disposal of old devices irresponsibly.

Harman [31]

There are three main reasons why people are concerned that cell phones (also known as “mobile” or “wireless” telephones) might have the potential to cause certain types of cancer or other health problems:


Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation, from their antennas. Tissues nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy.

The number of cell phone users has increased rapidly. As of December 2014, there were more than 327.5 million cell phone subscribers in the United States, according to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association. This is a nearly threefold increase from the 110 million users in 2000. Globally, the number of subscriptions is estimated by the International Telecommunications Union to be 5 billion.

Over time, the number of cell phone calls per day, the length of each call, and the amount of time people use cell phones have increased. However, improvements in cell phone technology have resulted in devices that have lower power outputs than earlier models.

Why is a nation with a large percentage of its population working in subsistence agriculture held back in its economic developme
wel

Answer:

subsistence agriculture, is a mode of agriculture in which a plot of land produces only enough food to feed the family or small community working it. All produce grown is intended for consumption purposes as opposed to market sale or trade. Historically and currently a difficult way of life, subsistence farming is considered by many a backward lifestyle that should be transformed into industrialized communities and commercial farming throughout the world in order to overcome problems of poverty and famine. The numerous obstacles that have prevented this to date suggest that a complex array of factors, not only technological but also economic, political, educational, and social, are involved. An alternative perspective, primarily from the feminist voice, maintains that the subsistence lifestyle holds the key to sustainability as human relationships and harmony with the environment have priority over material measures of wealth. Although the poverty suffered by many of those who have never developed beyond subsistence levels of production in farming is something that needs to be overcome, it does appear that the ideas inherent in much of subsistence farming—cooperation, local, ecologically appropriate—are positive attributes that must be preserved in our efforts to improve the lives of all people throughout the world.

Small pieces of rock often break down further through: weathering folding irrigation volcanoes
anzhelika [568]

The correct answer is - weathering.

The weathering is the process that manages to break down the rocks into very small particles. It can come in multiple different ways, like through the influence of mechanical or chemical ways, but the end result is always the same, the rocks are losing small particles little by little, and over time there's nothing left from them. The weathering is a process that has the tendency to flatten the landscape, so it manages to create a balance between the rising up of the landscape, with its flattening.
