The population of North America is predominantly located on the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean because of multiple factors:

- The climate is milder and more pleasant;

Because of the influence of the ocean, the climate is much more pleasant, the temperature variations smaller, and it is much more pleasant for living.

- The largest cities that have big economic power are located on the coasts;

The economic centers like New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Los Angeles, Settle, are all located on the coasts, and people move there in order to find better jobs and have better life.

- Big ports;

There are multiple big ports that are one of the biggest and most important in the global ocean trade, so they offer lots of opportunities for business.

According to the United Nations World Population Prospects, Japan has a TFR of 1.27. Based on this figure, which of the followin
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

It is least likely that Japan will be experiencing population growth.

Explanation:

Japan is a country that has a very large population for a country of its size, over 120 million people. Japan though, faces huge demographic problems, which will be more and more serious as the years pass by. The problems now are not that the population is very large, but that the population is aging and will start to experience sharp decrease in the coming decades.

The total fertility rate (TFR) of the country is only 1.27, which is far from enough for simple replacement of the population, as for that a TFR of 2 is needed. Less and less children are born, which in turn provides smaller and smaller population for reproduction with each generation. On the other hand, Japan is a country that has one of the highest life expectancy in the world, and the old population is constantly on the rise.

Such situation brings in lot of economic problems, as very soon the number of old people will equal the number of people of working age, and that is almost impossible to be managed. The Japanese governments have been trying to persuade the young people to form a family and have more children, but the reality is the opposite, as more and more young people decide to be solitary, not form a family, and if they do, they tend to have one child, or maybe two.

kow [346]

Extremely high temperature and pressure cause the rock to melt and become liquid rock or magma. When a large body of magma has formed, it rises thorugh the denser rock layers toward Earth's surface

¿Por qué los mares cerrados, como el Mediterráneo, presentan mayores niveles de contaminación?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Los mares cerrados, como el Mar Mediterráneo, presentan mayores niveles de contaminación porque son entera o mayoritariamente formados por cuencas endorreicas, las cuales no tienen salida directa hacia el océano. De esta manera, las corrientes marítimas no desagotan sus residuos en el océano, sino que continúan retroalimentándose de manera cícilica, con lo que el conjunto de desechos que viaja en dichas corrientes se queda constantemente dentro de la misma cuenca.
