There are definitely more than three but I can help you with the prime/main three techniques/things used.
1)Propaganda, no not the type your thinking of (not the communist Russian propaganda like stuff), I more mean false truths. The general public is very easy to manipulate and information is also very easy to modify. You can tell a person that a new healthcare system will make everyone with a net worth over $1 Million healthcare cheaper, although you can reword that to sound like, 'healthcare will become more effective and will help to improve the quality of life. This system is designed with the people in mind (the rich ones), I believe that if this system is passed then we will live longer and better lives.' See how different that sounds! It makes it seem like everyone is gonna get amazing care and their life's gonna be peachy. Most times false truths are targeted towards poorly educated people. Sadly that tends to be the general public (DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE!!). If you can rally the general public then you in essence have more control than you need.
2)Spread lies about other laws/systems. Ok so this one sounds a bit confusing, how are you supposed to spread a lie about a law. While one may not directly spread a lie about a law they can make up lies about the complexity of it, say things like 'this law targets only the upperclass and not you, when in reality it targets the upperclass but does more damage to them than help.
3)Straight up confuse people/distract them. Create a conflict, chaos is distracting. Surround a law with lies and slander and the people who are working to pass it, chances are the general public is going to go 'I don't trust them! Lets pass that other law which is probably miles worse'. Similar to spreading a law, slander about those working on it can destroy it's reputation.

List three areas that have very low chlorophyll concentration on land. What characteristics of these areas cause such low concen

umka21 [38]

Basically, areas without much plant life have low chlorophyll concentration. In this case, extreme climates characterizes these areas. Specifically, the desert, polar tundra, and high mountain ridges are three areas which have low chlorophyll concentrations. The main characteristics are that they have no soil, shallow soil, or soil that lacks in nutrients, which makes it not suitable for plants to grow; they also have limited water available. Since chlorophyll is contained in vegetation, any area without plants will lack chlorophyll. Hope this helps!

Answer: Desert, Polar Tundra, and High Mountain Ridges because of lack of soil or nutrient in the soil, and lack of water.

Please answer this question about the tea act:

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard. Parliament responded with a series of harsh measures intended to stifle colonial resistance to British rule; two years later the war began.
