<h3>This paper traces the history of human-environment interactions in the Pacific Islands during the last millennium, focusing on three main periods: the Little Climatic Optimum, the Little Ice Age, and, in greatest detail, the transition around A.D. 1300 between the two. The Little Climatic Optimum (approximately A.D. 750–1300) was marked by warm, rising temperatures, rising sea level and probably increasing aridity. The latter condition was linked to development of water-conservatory strategies (agricultural terracing being the most common) requiring cooperation between human groups which facilitated formation of large nucleated settlements and increased sociopolitical complexity. The transition period (approximately A.D. 1270–1475) involved rapid temperature and sea-level fall, perhaps a short-lived precipitation increase. Temperature fall stressed crops and reef organisms, sea-level fall lowered water tables and exposed reef surfaces reducing their potential as food resources for coastal dwellers. Increased precipitation washed away exposed infrastructure. Consequently food resource bases on many islands diminished abruptly across the transition. The Little Ice Age (approximately A.D. 1300–1800) was marked by cooler temperatures and lower sea levels. The lingering effects of the earlier transition largely determined human lifestyles during this period. Conflict resulted from resource depletion. Unprotected coastal settlements were abandoned in favour of fortified inland, often upland, settlements. Climate change is suggested to have been a important determinant of human cultural change during the last millennium in the Pacific Islands.</h3>

Womens were discriminated based on their gender. The perspective to womens back then is very low resulting in not being able to vote. They are viewd as "low" and should always be dominated by the male.

Answer:
B. Karst regions and carbonate rock outcrops occur on every continent except Antarctica.
Explanation:
Karst is an area made up of limestone. Antarctica's geology make its more complicated for this outcrops occurance, there are several karst regions all over the world such as:
Ankarana Reserve, Madagascar (Africa)
South China Karst, World Heritage Site (Asia)
South Harz and Kyffhaeuser Gypsum Karst, Germany (Europe)
Illinois Caverns State Natural Area and Illinois Sinkhole Plain in Monroe County (North America)
Los Haitises National Park, Dominican Republic (Central America)
The Sierra de San Luis in Falcón State, Venezuela (South America)
Jenolan Caves, New South Wales (Oceania)
Answer:
A human community with high population density and low economic status will have the highest birthrates.
Explanation:
A is not correct because usually, these are populations in countries that are transitioning from one political to another political model, and these populations actually tend to decline, mostly because of immigration.
B is not correct because such populations tend to have low birthrates, often even below the bar for simple replacement of the population.
C is not correct because such populations tend to live in very bad conditions, so despite having relatively high birthrates, they stagnate in their growth.
D is correct because such populations have both the numbers needed and also live in more traditional societies, leading to very high birthrates, as can be seen with Nigeria, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc.
