Answer: sample response : When plants photosynthesize, they remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When a large number of trees are removed from an area, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere remain higher than they would be if the trees were present. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, the presence of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more heat is trapped in the atmosphere. This causes temperatures near Earth’s surface to increase.

From the later 17th century, the Native American population dropped drastically due to _______.
Mademuasel [1]
From the later 17th century, the Native American population dropped drastically due to warfare and disease. Settlers regularly waged war against Native American tribes in order to place more land under their control and push Native Americans away from their settlements. Additionally (and probably more drastic), Native Americans had not developed the same immunities Europeans had to infectious diseases. Prior to settling in North and South America, Europeans lived in cities rife with disease and filth. While this contributed to a substantially shorter lifespan for Europeans relative to people in more sanitary living conditions, it also led to increased immunity to diseases. Europeans then came to the Western Hemisphere with their diseases, which were then spread (overtly and indirectly) to Native Americans whose more sanitary lifestyle resulted in weaker immunity.

Why are there no photos of Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address?
Basile [38]
Lincoln's speech lasted only three minutes, which did not give photographers time to even set up their equipment to take his picture. The audience was so profoundly moved that few people even applauded the speech.

Supporters of rent control say that it _____ the price of renting an apartment. raises
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Lowers

More money

Explanation:

Supporters of rent control argue that Controlling rent prevents owners from speculating with the price of renting and keeps the rents close to rea income. Think of the new services like Airbnb, an owner might feel that she can get more money by turning an apartment into an Airbnb than renting it to a working family. Without control, rents can then easily go wild, as more and more owners try to turn their apartments into touristic flats, pricing out people with lower incomes.

Supporters of minimum wage argue that it protects the lowest earners and ensures that people make a minimum amount of money. It also means that no matter how many people compete for the same position, the employer cannot lower the price, and therefore nobody can underbid another person for a job.
