Which best describes the relationship between the United States and oil?

Geography
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

What began in the late 1800s as a love of oil (and the  potential wealth oil brings) has turned to a love-hate relationship  with oil. Oil has a wealth of uses, but also a wealth of  consequences.

  • The United States uses one-quarter of the world's energy.
  • The United States is the second-largest producer of oil in the  world.
  • The United States imports more oil than any other country.
  • The United States suffers from a blind and selfish dependency  on oil.
  • The United States struggles with ending its dependency on oil, especially when lobbyists fight this.
  • The United States argues with itself over off-shore oil  drilling. Catastrophes would truly be catastrophic, but the "oil race" continues.

Explanation:

The government of a consumer state has a vested interest in protecting the government of oil-producing states.

What does this map represent?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. This maps represents the triangle trade.

Explanation:

The triangular trade was a slave trade in which manufactured goods such as alcohol, metal containers, clothing and firearms were transported from Great Britain (especially Liverpool). Cargo transported in Africa was exchanged for slaves transported to America or the West Indies. The slaves were replaced with sugar, cotton, rum and tobacco. For the shipowner, the deal was risky but very profitable. Each stage was profitable and the cost of the ship could be recovered in just a few trips. The triangle trade was practiced on a full scale since the 17th century and reached its peak in the late 18th century.

Svetach [21]
Well, the hydrosphere is moving water to provide life for the biosphere. the geosphere is blocking the rain from the hydro and atmosphere from producing life past where it is blocking, so, in essence, the hydrosphere is "moved" into the atmosphere, where it drops onto the geosphere, creating the possibility for life in the biosphere everywhere that is not being "bullied" for lack of better term by the mountains blocking rain.

Why do rainforests have high biodiversity?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rainforests have high biodiversity because they are abundant in nutrients, energy and a favorable climate.

Biodiversity is high because the warm and wet consistent climate in tropical rainforests is able to sustain life in all different forms. Soil nutrient is poor in tropical rain forests because the sunlight that is intended to reach the floor of the tropical forest is blocked by the tall and dense trees.

What were the major motivations for colonization in the New World
Allisa [31]

Answer:

This depends.

Explanation:

For the puritans and the pilgrims, it was to escape religious peresuction and to build a utopia.  For the Dutch and other non-English countries, it was generally to engage in trade to make money, rather than settle down and build a society. For the colonists in virigina who were not puritans, they wanted to make money and also start a new life, and they were generally young men who were risk takers.
