The correct answer is B. False
Explanation:
Russia is considered the largest country in the world, located in both Asia and Europe. In terms of population, most of the Russian population is now located in the western zone of the country or in Europe, which includes cities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg. Despite this, since the 19th century and especially during the Soviet Union period there were migrations of Russians eastward or towards the Pacific coastal zone, which led to the creation of Russian settlements in new zones.
However, in the last decades, this migration pattern has decreased and settlements in the east are still small in comparison to those of the west. In this context, the eastward migration has not been a huge phenomenon since 1991, and even if there is still migration and the government promotes this, it has not led to a lack of accommodations or restrictions, which makes the statement false.

Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
The Answer is second option (Tombouctou).
Answer:
La Paz is a bit more densely populated than Lima, since the former has a population density slightly higher than this of latter.
Explanation:
In this case, we need to know the populations and occupied area of the city. By definition, population density is the ratio of the population of the city to the occupied area in the same location.
The required information is gathered below:
La Paz (Bolivia)
Population: 1.801 million (Metropolitan area)
Occupied area: 475 square kilometers.
Population density: 3792 inhabitants per square kilometer.
Lima (Perú)
Population: 9.674 million
Occupied area: 2672 square kilometers.
Population density: 3621 inhabitants per square kilometer.
In this case, La Paz is a bit more densely populated than Lima, since the former has a population density slightly higher than this of latter.
