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 motivates civilizations to take risks by exploring and colonizing new territories? Describe two motivations for colonizatio
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Usually famine causes angst between the weakened civilation so the owners of said territories usually hunt for more fertile land so they can sustain their growing population without having being thrown out of power and slain, its often better to satisfy the people who you govern rather than to exterminate to govern the population steadily.

and to own more land is more money and more power for such rulers, if they own more land they can tax more people, and if they own fertile land they can grow crops to sustain themselves, and the people they govern, satisfying the ruler AND the people.

Between which two countries is there a land that no one owns?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The correct answer is Bir Tawil.

Explanation:

Bir Tawil is a small area located between Egypt and Sudan, which is in dispute for these two countries. It is said to be the only territory in the world (along with a small portion of the Antarctic), which does not belong to anyone. However, there are constant claims from these two countries that claim to have sovereignty in this territory, but this has not been settled in international courts. Bir Tawil forms a kind of triangle of approximately 2000 m2, and recently a US citizen named Jeremiah Heaton symbolically claimed his sovereignty over these lands to proclaim his little daughter as queen, but no state in the world has recognized him.
