Why is Europe called the peninsula of peninsulas?
vesna_86 [32]
The definition of peninsula is a body of that that is surrounded by water on three sides. Europe is connected to Asia on it's east side, but on the north, south, and west sides Europe is surrounded by water. But because Europe has a rather odd shape it has many smaller peninsulas sticking off it's north, south, and west sides. This is why Europe is called the "peninsula of peninsulas".

What are some ways a new mining project will impact the area in which it is located
marta [7]

The mining in any area always comes with big impact on the area. Unfortunately, the impact is always negative.

The mining needs lot of space, so lot of area needs to be cleared out. By clearing the area, lot of vegetation is destroyed, and stripping of the area of the vegetation results in loss of habitat for the animals, so the animals will either die out or migrate from there.

Also, having no vegetation on the land results in large scale erosion, which is causing long term damage to the area.

Through the mining, lot of toxic chemicals are released, usually in the nearest water bodies, so the waters get heavily polluted, and the aquatic organisms are heavily affected, often dying out totally.

The mining creates lot of solid waste as well, and that waste is usually deposited in the surrounding area, causing enormous pollution on the soil, making it unusable for very long time.

Jetties are constructed perpendicular to shore and extend beyond the surf zone causing sediment to accumulate on the up-drift si
horrorfan [7]

Answer: True

Explanation: Jetties are structures constructed perpendicular to shore. They form a 90 degree angle to the shore and cause sediment to accumulate on the updrift side. This is the side that provides sediments.

Jetties are made of heaps of stones or concrete deposited at coastal inlets. They change the longshore current, and due to this, create updrift beaches.

Shoreline Structures such as jetties, and seawells help protect the shoreline from erosion and lessen the effect of currents and waves on the shoreline.

Expressing geographical movement includes expressing the movement of ideas. true or falsetrue.
Klio2033 [76]
That statement is true.

When making the world map for example, many advancement were made after we received the idea that the Earth is Round.
So both geographical movement expression and ideas are not something that could be separated.

Which of the following is NOT a reason why birth and death rates are high in developing countries?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Easy access to medical care is not a reason for high birth and death rates in developing countries.

Explanation:

A big portion of the developing countries tends to have high birthrates and high death rates. The reason for this are numerous, ranging from political, religious, traditional, economic, low education levels, women being discriminated against, etc. In general, it seems that the lower the status of women is in a society, the higher the birthrates are, and all of the factors that contribute to it actually result in a shorter life span for the whole population.

One thing that doesn't contribute to this is easy access to medical care. Easy access to medical care is not something that is found in a developing country, on contrary, the access to medical care is hard, limited, and for many people out of reach. When medical care is not available for the population the results are always devastating, with high death rates among infants, during birth (both mothers and children), diseases spread very easily and have a much bigger impact, and because of lack of it also the population leaves shorter lives.
