Answer:

In explanation.

Explanation:

The International Date Line is an imaginary line set up by the people, and it is needed so that the people manage to organize the time more properly on the whole planet.

This line is halfway through on the other side of the planet from the Prime Meridian, also known as the Greenwich Meridian, so since the Prime Meridian is at 0 longitude, the International Date Line is roughly at 180 degrees of longitude.

As I said, roughly 180 degrees of longitude, so this line is not a straight one, but instead it moves a bit in both eastern and western direction at certain places. The reason why it is not straight is because it follows the borders of the countries located in the Pacific through which it passes or touches their borders, in order to not divide their time.

The International Date Line serves as a beginning and ending point for the world's time zones. The line moves in jagged directions through the Pacific Ocean in order to keep certain island nations together.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

<u>Because of the nature of the items</u>

Explanation:

It seems <em>illogical </em>to conclude that the government would able to accurately track down deadly meat out of a pool of several tons of processed meat.

However, to determine defective toys or other non-meat products from stores would require little technical issues, whereas to examine meatpacking companies may require gathering expert dieticians to determine what meat should be categorized as "deadly meat", etc.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Both nepal and swizerland are mountainous and landlocked countries. Swizerland is highly developed and rich, but Nepal is not so developed because people are more educated in Swizerland then of Nepal. In Nepal, many people works after passing school but in Swizerland you must have to learn 12 years in universities to get a job. In Swizerland there is a provision of less import and more export but in Nepal more goods are import from other countries. Transportation facility is good in Swizerland then of Nepal. Swizerland is utilizing natural resources available but Nepal is not utilizing national resources available. Political stabilty can be seen in swizerland but in nepal polical instability can be seen.
