Geography
1 answer:
Goshia [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

In geology, the rivers' main role is erosion and deposition, while for humanity, they have been crucial for the survival and development.

Explanation:

The rivers are water bodies (almost always of freshwater) and they have an influence on many things, be it of living or non-living nature. Physically, the big influence of the rivers can be seen in geology. The socio-economic and existential influence can easily be seen with humans.

In geology, the rivers have a big influence because of their big erosive power and their carrying capacity. Basically, the rivers destroy the rock strata, but also carry the material and pile it up at another place. At humanity, the rivers have been crucial for the survival of the species, but they have also enabled humans to produce their own food, develop civilization, and prosper.

Olenka [21]
The term ring of fire was used to describe an annular solar eclipse (an event not related to earthquakes) that happened last February 26, 2017 (a Sunday). An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun but only covers the sun's center, (as opposed to a total solar eclipse in which the entire sun is covered) creating a "ring of fire".

Nation-state (does/does not) describes Kosovo because
Maru [420]

Answer:

Nation-state describes Kosovo because almost all of the population belongs to a single ethnic group.

Explanation:

Kosovo is one of the most recent states to have formed in the world. It has separated from Serbia, and in practice, it functions as an independent country, but in theory, it is still not an independent country because it is not recognized by the United Nations, or rather by some of the most influential members of the United Nations. The demographics of Kosovo have changed a lot in the past 70 years.

The changes have mostly been toward a growing Albanian population, while the other ethnic groups were going down on the percentage of the total population. The reason for this has been that the Albanian population had the highest fertility rates, but also because of migration out of Kosovo by other ethnic groups because of safety reasons. This has resulted in a situation where Kosovo has become a nation-station, with over 92% of its population being comprised of ethnic Albanians (also referred to as Kosovars), while all other ethnic groups comprise less than 8% of the total population.
