Answer:

<u>Lower latitudes to higher latitudes i.e low pressure to high pressure.</u>

Explanation:

  • As the pressure gradient is a force that is derived from the lower latitude to the upper latitudes in the form of pressure systems and the winds belts that arise from ITCZ zone thus there is an upwelling of warm and hot air from this region and goes upwards to the polar regions and in between from a convective cycle.
  • There is a characteristic of this zone in the form of a vigorous thunderstorm over large bodies of the ocean. All this heating is derived due to the sun's rays fall directly over the equator.
  • ITCZ being the doldrum zone or zone of calms sets the surface air to fly pass creating a frontal situation of the hot and cold air mass to interact and create eddies in the oceans.

Which of the following statements best characterizes how developed and developing countries impact the environment?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Both developed and developing countries have had significant negative impacts on the environment.

Explanation:

The environment has been very badly affected by human activity. The negative effect has been present for a very long time, progressively becoming more and more serious, but since the start of the Industrial Revolution it has exponentially increased and the effects have been horrific. While there are differences between the impact of developed and developing countries, the fact is that both have had significant negative impacts.

The now developed countries were actually the first ones to start with massive impact on the environment, which was a result of the usage of fossil fuels, rapid economic growth, and constantly growing demand for natural resources. The developing countries have started off later with their massive impact, but it has had the same results. While the developed countries are turning a page and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, that is not the case with the developing countries that try to become developed. To put it simply, The forests that were destroyed in the UK several hundred years ago are not getting back, and the forests that were recently destroyed and still are getting destroyed in Indonesia will not just come back, at least not with the current trends.

Many areas of the world produce just enough of an agricultural product to eat, but not enough to sell for profit. This is called
Lynna [10]

The correct answer is - A) subsistence farming.


Subsistence farming is the type of farming that is mostly practiced in the less developed countries. In here we have production that is just about enough for the needs of the country (and big portion of the production doesn't even come out on the home market, but you eat what you produce, or trade with someone you know). Also this type of farming is still based on primitive tools and is heavily dependant on the climate, and that makes it very unstable and more often than not people are starving because not enough food has been produced.
