The answer is D.The cost of communication has decreased overtime,causing trade to increase.
In the past,communication technology was not as advanced as nowadays. Paasing a message even in the same region would be difficult not to mention overseas.
Imagine back when people can only deliver message by letters, the shipping or transporting fee would be much higher than what we're doing now, sending a simple text and delivered to the target easily. Not only would it be more costly economically,but also on time arrangement.
Time cost is very important for trading,as the situation,such as the demand of the market would shift very quickly from time to time. In the past,by the time a message was exchanged,the situation might have been different already. Or,in some cases,it might not be able to catch up with policies that government newly introduced on market.
Thus people would consider less about trading overseas as spreading the market would not be easy.
However nowadays with technology,communicating has become a very easy thing as long as you have the internet. It allows people to spread their brands globally as they can be able to monitor them more easily through communication. It is also easier for traders to exchange and collaberate. Much business chances are provided hense increasing the trading over the world.
Hope it helps!
Hello, what event are you talking about? may you post a picture please?
I’m sorry that’s not a question so i unfortunately cannot answer that.
One of the most striking ongoing changes in the Arctic is the rapid melting of sea ice. Some climate models predict that, sometime during the first half of the 21st century, summer sea ice will vanish from the Arctic Ocean. An absence of summer ice would amplify the existing warming trend in Arctic tundra regions as well as in regions beyond the tundra, because sea ice reflects sunlight much more readily than the open ocean and, thus, has a cooling effect on the atmosphere. In addition, research indicates that the retreat of sea ice would enhance the productivity of tundra vegetation, and the resulting buildup of plant biomass might lead to more extreme events such as large tundra fires. Finally, an ice-free Arctic Ocean would improve access to high northern latitudes for recreational and industrial activities; this would likely place additional stress on tundra plants and animals as well as compromise the resilience of the tundra ecosystem itself. In alpine tundras too, climate warming could encourage more human activity and increase damage to plant and animal populations there.
The fate of permafrost in a warmer world is a particularly important issue. Together, tundra and taiga account for approximately one-third of global carbon storage in soil, and a large portion of this carbon is tied up in permafrost in the form of dead organic matter. Some of this organic matter has been preserved for many thousands of years, not because it is inherently difficult to break down but because the land has remained frozen. Thawing of the permafrost would expose the organic material to microbial decomposition, which would release carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2 and methane (CH4). Rates of microbial decomposition are much lower under anaerobic conditions, which release CH4, than under aerobic conditions, which produce CO2; however, CH4 has roughly 25 times the greenhouse warming potential of CO2. The Arctic has been a net sink (or repository) of atmospheric CO2 since the end of the last ice age. At the same time, however, the region has been a net source of atmospheric CH4, primarily because of the abundance of wetlands in the region.
