The answer is: politicians have a strong incentive to support projects that yield immediate and easily recognized benefits, especially when the costs of the projects are difficult to identify and are observable only in the distant future

In our current political system , politicians have a constant threat of losing their position if they do not show any results to their voter base during the election period.

This means that they are much more likely to support the projects that  yield immediate and easily recognized benefits in order to maintain high approval rating and increase their chance of being re-elected.

What are the 3 main layers of the earth and what do they consist of
svlad2 [7]
The 3 main layers are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust consists of everything you see- dirt, rock, minerals, and everything you can see. We live on the crust, and it floats around on the magma in pieces we call continents. The next layer is the mantle, which is where all the magma is- this is what the crust floats on. It consists of molten rock and minerals; the bottom layer of the crust is continually melting under the extreme heat, but it is replaced when volcanoes spew the magma back onto the surface. The last layer is the core, an extremely fast-spinning ball of heavy metals. It is split into two layers; inner and outer core. The outer core is mostly an alloy of nickel and iron with some other heavy metals thrown in, like platinum and gold, but the inner core is almost solid iron. It is so hot that it should be melted, but the pressure of everything on top of it makes it so it has nowhere to melt to, keeping it solid.
Hope this helps!!! ^_^

expeople1 [14]
<span>Conflicts between adolescents and parents over mundane matters is generally LESS FREQUENT in ethnic minorities than in white families. The topics of disagreement are SIMILAR across ethnic groups. This is likely due to cultural differences but since adolescents almost all go through the same changes and challenges, the matters that are argued over between adolescents and parents are rather similar across all races.</span>
