Geography
1 answer:
GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>Relative location can be expressed in terms of distance, time and cost. Absolute is often given in terms of latitude and longitude</u>.

Explanation:

  • As the location is used to identify a point or an area on the earth's surface it implies a high degree of certainty.
  • Relative location is one which is about the other, for example, a landmark. An absolute location is one that is identified by specific coordinates, this is regardless of the current location.
  • Geographic location can also be referred s the Absolute location. An example of a relative is that you say there are 50 miles to Houston, and absolute is the exact point of location as Empire state building located in the exact street with an exact number.
  • Absolute location can be measured through scientific means, as it's based on latitude and longitude of earth.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Correct answer is False.

Explanation:

Cambrian explosion refers to period of geological history of our planet in which most of the multicellular organisms appeared in fossil layers. That was some 540 million years ago.

This period indicates that multicellular organisms began to develope in the early Paleozoic era. Before that much of the living organisms were singlecellular. Cambrian is the first period of Paleozoic era and it lasted between 540 and 485 million years ago. It is followed by Ordovician Period.

The bottom line is that Cambrian explosion is related with 'great occurrence of new and developed species'.

qual é a diferença entre a pecuária transumante e a pecuária nômade? o que impulsiona cada uma delas?
ad-work [718]

The transhumance and the nomadic ranching may seem very similar, but they are not and they have one very big important difference between them. The transhumance ranching is the type of ranching where the ranchers are moving their livestock seasonally. That usually happens twice a year. The movement occurs when the season change. It is driven by the climate, and it can be when there's wet and dry season, or warm and cold season, and the movement can be vertical, from the mountains toward the lowlands and vice versa, or horizontal, toward places with more suitable weather conditions at that period. The The nomadic ranching, on the other side, is a type of ranching where the livestock is moved constantly, almost on a daily or weekly basis. This type of ranching is driven by the amount of food sources at a particular place. The nomads keep their livestock at a particular spot depending on how much food there is available, which usually is in low amount, so they are in constant movement for new grazing lands.
