Answer:
1. A tundra is a type of biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons.
2. A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close.
3. An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.
I looked to the National Bureau of Economic Research, who recently published Globalization and Poverty. Here’s what I found out:
Some studies show that globalization has been associated with rising inequality, because the poor do not always share in the gains from trade. An example of this is the coffee trade. Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world, yet most of its growers only make 10% of what it eventually sells for. However, when farmers have access to credit, technical know-how, and social safety nets such as income support, trade can benefit the world’s poor.
The book argues that export growth and incoming foreign investment have proven to reduce poverty. But, at the same time, trade and foreign investment alone are not enough to alleviate poverty. Increasing access to education and credit, as well as improved infrastructure, are necessary in order to see real progress. Echoing that idea, Harrison concludes that globalization can benefit people living in extreme poverty, but only if the appropriate complementary policies and institutions are in place.
Answer:
B. P waves can travel through liquids
Explanation:
P waves or primary waves are elastic waves produced from an earthquake. They are the first waves that arrives a Seismic station when an earthquake disturbs the earth.
P and S waves are both body waves that moves within the earth.
P- waves travel faster than S- waves and can propagate through any medium. S-waves or Secondary waves are shear waves that can only propagate through soilds.
Both waves are longitudinal and moves parallel to their source of propagation. They move by disturbing other particles in their line.
Transverse waves are the love and rayleigh waves. They are both surface waves that travels and cause disturbance on the surface of the earth during an earthquake. They move up and down.
B & C in my opinion. If it asks for one— B. is what I would choose.
Vertical. Many rocks in mountainous areas can be vertical or even overturned.
