Answer:

D. It was leased to the British until 1997, when it became part of China again.

Explanation:

    Hong Kong or officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is a special region of China that has existed since July 1997.

    China ceded the island of Hong Kong to the United Kingdom in 1842 after the First Opium War. Subsequently, the English annexed the neighboring Kowloon peninsula and the many smaller islands around the colony, which in treaty were leased for 99 years, which could be renewed for an equal period. The colonial apparatus will make Hong Kong an impressive development for the next 150 years or so as an outpost of the British Far East empire, becoming a major business and commercial hub.

Write the equation of the line that goes through the point (−9, −4) and is parallel to the line −x + 3y = −0.5
inysia [295]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3}x -1

Explanation:

Given

Parallel to: -x + 3y = -0.5

Passes through (-9,-4)

Required

Determine the line equation

First, we calculate the slope (m) of the said line

-x + 3y = -0.5

Make y the subject

3y = x - 0.5

Divide through by 3

y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{0.5}{3}

An equation has the general form:

y = mx + b

Where

m = slope

So:

m = \frac{1}{3}

Because the required line is parallel to -x + 3y = -0.5, then they have the same slope of m = \frac{1}{3}

Next, is to calculate the line equation using:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

Where

m = \frac{1}{3}

(x_1,y_1) = (-9,-4)

This gives:

y = \frac{1}{3}(x -(-9)) + (-4)

y = \frac{1}{3}(x +9) -4

Open bracket

y = \frac{1}{3}x +3 -4

y = \frac{1}{3}x -1

Which type of plate boundary does the image show?
IceJOKER [234]

The image shows the Convergent plate boundary.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Convergent boundaries occur wherever the Earth’s tectonic plates move or collide toward each other. As the plates converge, the denser, thinner tectonic plate sub-ducts or dives beneath the lighter, thicker, more buoyant tectonic plate.

As shown in the picture, the plates are composed of rigid lithosphere consisting of the crust of the earth and the uppermost mantle. Movement of the plates is driven by convection in the asthenosphere and lower mantle, which are softer and warmer than the lithosphere and can flow on geologic timescales. Convection is fuelled by heat generated from  radioactive decay of elements in the Earth.

How many people live in the urban center of Buenos Aires, Argentina? How do economic activity and climate help explain why so ma
Levart [38]

Answer:

2.89 Million People

Explanation:

Most of Argentina is mountainous (The Western side), which has extreme cold temperatures which makes it a popular skiing destination for tourists, it also happens to be not as populated. However, what makes Buenos Aires so different is that it's along the ocean, which makes it a much more livable and sustainable climate, it also gets a large economic boost because it has a large docking and trade system located there.

Examples of this would be other lightly populated rough climate countries such as Mongolia, which has only a population of 3 million despite it's large land borders.
