Answer:
The Amazon rainforest in Brazil lost an area about 12 times the size of New York City from August 2018 through July of this year, according to government data released Monday, which shows that deforestation in the biome has shot up significantly since the election of President Jair Bolsonaro.
The 3,769 square miles of forest cover lost during that period represents a 30 percent increase from the previous year and the highest net loss since 2008.
While there are always multiple direct and indirect drivers of deforestation, the largest contributors in Brazil, by far, are cattle ranching, demand for commodities, and logging (Butler, 2019). Cattle ranching is, as it sounds, the issue of large areas of forest being destroyed for cattle farms. This relates to the demand for commodities, as Brazil is the largest exporter of beef in the world (Yale University, 2015). The other largest commodity in the Brazilian Amazon is soybeans. In fact, Brazil is the largest exporter of soybeans in the world (Simoes et al., 2011). Soybeans require large plots of land in order to be farmed, and this land is obtained largely through deforestation. Lastly, logging, the process of obtaining wood for timber and other uses, is a very large contributor to deforestation.
Explanation:
An example of self-determination is the creation of Czechia and Slovakia.
Explanation:
The self-determination basically means that through the will of the people, a certain goal is a achieved usually(not always though) in peaceful manner, in this case ending a country and creating two new ones. Initially it was one country, Czechoslovakia. This country was composed of two main groups of people, the Czechs and Slovaks, and they peacefully collaborated and coexisted as a unit for several decades.
With the fall of the communism though, it became clear that the Czechs and the Slovaks have different ideals, and that they move into different directions. The people voted in a democratic manner to end the existence of Czechoslovakia, and to form to separate countries roughly divided with a border based on ethnic base. The formation of the new countries happened indeed and it was in totally peaceful manner, with the two countries retaining good relations.
Other examples of self-determination are:
- Creation of Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia out of Yugoslavia
- Creation of Austria and Hungary out of the Austria-Hungary Empire
- Creation of the Baltic states out of the Soviet Union
- Creation of Bulgaria, Greece, Lebanon etc. from the Ottoman Empire

Answer:
The epidemiological transition has two stages:
- First, the high mortality caused by infectious diseases and malnutrition;
- The second is characterized by chronic degenerative diseases.
Explanation:
Epidemiological transition is understood as the long-term changes in the patterns of death, disease and disability that characterize a specific population and that usually occur along with broader demographic, social and economic transformations.
It is a dynamic concept that focuses on the evolution of the predominant profile of mortality and morbidity, specifically the epidemiological transition implies a change in the predominant direction: of infectious diseases associated with primary deficiencies (for example, nutrition, water supply, housing conditions) to chronic and degenerative diseases, injuries and mental illnesses, all these related to genetic factors and secondary deficiencies (for example, personal or environmental security effect of opportunities for the full realization of individual potentiality)
The epidemiological transition covers three basic processes:
a) Substitution between the first causes of death of common infectious diseases by noncommunicable diseases and injuries.
b) The displacement of the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality from the youngest groups to the elderly.
c) Changes from a situation of predominance of mortality in the epidemiological landscape to another in which morbidity is dominant.
Moraines occur through a geomorphological process during a moving glacier. Basically, the glacier motion picks up debris such as rocks, sediments, etc. and deposits them, thus creating moraines. So, your correct choice is D. GLACIERS.
