The African continent isn't suffering from the environmental challenge "reforestation", since most of the continent hasn't suffered deforestation.
Two ways in which the proximity to water has affected Western Europe's economy:
1) Proximity of water can lead to lack of food, which affects economy of the country in various ways.
2) It has wet cool summers and wet, mild winters, so for shelters and cloths, it affects economy by transportation, extra manufacture etc.
Hope this helps!
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.
Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Which would be an adaptation for living in the tundra?
funnel shaped leaves to help water runoff
deep roots to go into the permafrost
hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter
large ears to release heat
Answer: hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter
Explanation:
Hibernation is something many animals do to survive in the tundra. They hid in dens for several months during the winter. Their metabolisms get to a dormant state in which their bodies survive thanks to stores of fat gained during the summer. The Grizzly bear is an example of a tundra animal that hibernates during the winter.
