This question is incomplete because it lack the picture of the map. Please find attached to this answer the picture of the map.

Answer:

Brazil is experiencing a drought.

Explanation:

From the map attached to this answer, we can see that Brazil is experiencing drought. The reason for this answer is because on the map we are given keys that come in the different colours and this colours represents the centimeters of rainfall that is experienced by areas in South America.

For Brazil, key colour there is white in colour and this indicates that Brazil is experiencing a minimal rainfall of 25 cm or rainfall. This is very low compared to other areas and it is a major indication of drought.

Droughts can be defined a very long time frame or period whereby there is little or no form of rainfall or precipitation in a particular area.

This minimal or lack of rainfall causes the lack of moisture in the Earth crust and this causes the Earth crust to dry up to the extent that we see cracks and patches on the ground.

Drought can also be caused by very extreme and hot weather conditions. This causes major sources of water such as ponds, streams to dry up.

This photo shows a plateau. Which events could have caused this plateau to form
madam [21]

Answer:

Uplift raised the level of a piece of crust.

Mountains eroded.

Basaltic lava flowed from cracks in the crust.

Explanation:

A plateau can form in several different ways. It can form because of volcanic activity, the collision of plates, uplift of crust, and erosion.

Uplift that has raised a piece of crust can easily form this plateau. If the crust that is moving up is relatively flat at the top, then it will stick out in the surrounding area like a mountain will, but it will have a relatively flat top, thus making a plateau.

Erosion is very often a factor that creates plateaus. If there is a very large piece of crust that is much more solid than its surroundings, it will erode at a much slower rate. This will result in the crust around it to erode while it remains close to its initial form, thus sticking out as a higher relief form.

In the areas where there is or has been volcanic activity, it is common that plateaus as the one on the image are found. When the lava flows it fills in the valleys, cracks, holes, and when it solidifies it creates solid masses of igneous rocks. These rocks erode very slowly, so while all of the surroundings erode faster and lower down, it remains largely the same in the form of a plateau.

Why were people hopeful at the United Nations Climate Conference in Paris in 2015?​
Bezzdna [24]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels, which is why people were hopeful.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016.  Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.  To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century.  The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first time, a binding agreement brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects. Implementation of the Paris Agreement requires economic and social transformation, based on the best available science. The Paris Agreement works on a 5- year cycle of increasingly ambitious climate action carried out by countries. By 2020, countries submit their plans for climate action known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

NDCs

<em>In their NDCs, countries communicate actions they will take to reduce their Greenhouse Gas emissions in order to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement. Countries also communicate in the NDCs actions they will take to build resilience to adapt to the impacts of rising temperatures.  </em>

Long-Term Strategies

To better frame the efforts towards the long-term goal, the Paris Agreement invites countries to formulate and submit by 2020 long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LT-LEDS).

LT-LEDS provide the long-term horizon to the NDCs. Unlike NDCs, they are not mandatory. Nevertheless, they place the NDCs into the context of countries’ long-term planning and development priorities, providing a vision and direction for future development.

<em>The Paris Agreement provides a framework for financial, technical and capacity building support to those countries who need it.  </em>

Finance

The Paris Agreement reaffirms that developed countries should take the lead in providing financial assistance to countries that are less endowed and more vulnerable, while for the first time also encouraging voluntary contributions by other Parties. Climate finance is needed for mitigation, because large-scale investments are required to significantly reduce emissions. Climate finance is equally important for adaptation, as significant financial resources are needed to adapt to the adverse effects and reduce the impacts of a changing climate.

Technology

The Paris Agreement speaks of the vision of fully realizing technology development and transfer for both improving resilience to climate change and reducing GHG emissions. It establishes a technology framework to provide overarching guidance to the well-functioning Technology Mechanism. The mechanism is accelerating technology development and transfer through it’s policy and implementation arms.

Capacity-Building

Not all developing countries have sufficient capacities to deal with many of the challenges brought by climate change. As a result, the Paris Agreement places great emphasis on climate-related capacity-building for developing countries and requests all developed countries to enhance support for capacity-building actions in developing countries.

<em>With the Paris Agreement, countries established an enhanced transparency framework (ETF). Under ETF, starting in 2024, countries will report transparently on actions taken and progress in climate change mitigation, adaptation measures and support provided or received. It also provides for international procedures for the review of the submitted reports.  </em>

<em> The information gathered through the ETF will feed into the Global stocktake which will assess the collective progress towards the long-term climate goals. This will lead to recommendations for countries to set more ambitious plans in the next round.</em>

<em>Although climate change action needs to be massively increased to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, the years since its entry into force have already sparked low-carbon solutions and new markets. More and more countries, regions, cities and companies are establishing carbon neutrality targets. Zero-carbon solutions are becoming competitive across economic sectors representing 25% of emissions. This trend is most noticeable in the power and  transport sectors and has created many new business opportunities for early movers.</em>

What occurs when a rock is crushed into a pile of fragments?
Norma-Jean [14]
The answer to the question is the total surface area increases and chemical composition changes. Consider the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces, these fragments vary from huge rocks to smaller sizes. As they are so crushed and broken they tend to occupy much of the surface area than when its just a huge rock.

The oceans make up 70% of Earth's surface. They regulate the overall temperature of the earth by absorbing a great deal of solar
uysha [10]

Answer:

Oceanic water have latent heat or special heat capacity.

Explanation:

  • As oceans cover nearly 71% of the earth's surface and help in regulating the climate and weather patterns around places. They have specific heat and contain salt contents.
  • They trap and absorb the carbon dioxide and thus are called carbon sinks. They take up a large amount of solar energy and heat slowly as compared to the land surfaces.
