The central parts of the three northern territories are covered by the tundra.

Canada, in general can be easily divided by the biomes that cover its territory, by simply saying that the southern half of the country is covered by the taiga, and the northern half is covered by the tundra.

The three northern territories are Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. All of those are in close proximity to the Arctic, and the climate there is very cold for most of the year, with snow and ice dominating the landscape, and having only a very short fresh, relatively cold summer.

In the scramble for Africa, European powers drew boundaries and created states that benefitted the colonizers while ignoring the

Phantasy [73]

The drawing of the boundaries in the manner of the interest of the European colonial powers resulted in very big problems once the African countries were granted independence.

The problems were mostly because people from the same ethnic groups were separated by borders, but were in the same ones with people from other ethnic groups, usually historical rivals with whom they had bad relations. Also, the religious factor had a big influence, as there were multiple countries were some parts were predominantly of one religion, and other parts of other religion, and that brought in even more tensions.

That has resulted in instability, constant tensions, civil wars, terrorist organizations, separatist movements, genocides, pretty much everything that is not supposed to happen for a country to prosper.

Answer:

landslide

Explanation:

This question is related to a picture. In the picture you can see that a small town was affected by a landslide located near a steep hill. As the statement reads, it can be a destructive process as not only is the countryside affected by removal of the top earth layer along with all the vegetation in that area, consequence of heavy rainfall or a mayor earthquake or shift in landmass, but it also turns into a constructive process as at the bottom of the hill, where the landslide or mud accumulates, the debris forms a new layer over the old and it is then seen as constructive.

Which of the following statements is correct?

patriot [66]

Answer:

B) Distinctly alkaline diagnostic horizons, thin profiles, lack of organic material, and dominance of sandy materials are features most closely associated with aridisols.

Explanation:

The aridisols are types of soils that are found predominantly in arid areas. They are soils that are not considered as fertile, and are near the bottom by quality of soils. These soils are lacking organic material, and also are very exposed to erosion, with the primary reason being the climate, as it doesn't allow for lot of vegetation to grow. The horizons of the aridisols are distinctly alkaline diagnostic ones, with the profiles being very thin and labile. The top layer of the soil is dominated by sandy material, which is a result of the extensive weathering and erosion in their surroundings, so the wind is mostly transporting small sandy grains and covers most of the area with them.
