IN THE PAST 3-5 YEARS HOW HAVE YOU SEEN THE<br> AMERICAS CHANGE?
Triss [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Americans are more racially and ethnically diverse than in the past, and the U.S. is projected to be even more diverse in the coming decades.

Women’s role in the labor force and leadership positions has grown dramatically.

The world is aging. The demographic future for the U.S. and the world looks very different than the recent past. Growth from 1950 to 2010 was rapid — the global population nearly tripled, and the U.S. population doubled.

Christians are declining as a share of the U.S. population, and the number of U.S. adults who do not identify with any organized religion has grown.

The share of Americans who live in middle class households is shrinking

The American family is changing. After decades of declining marriage rates, the share of American adults who have never been married is at an historic high.

Australia and New Zealand experience many different climates. Which of the following is one of them?
amid [387]
"Marine West Coast" is another name for Oceanic Climate - and in fact, most of New Zealand has this climate! (and South -East of Austrialia).

However, if you take this name, as some do, to only refer to the US, then it does not apply.

One climate that Australia experiences is arid - in the deserts, so A is a correct answer!

They don't experience Polar climate, and since they also experience hummid subtropical, I think that the question had a "not"; in "is not one of them" - then the correct answer would be B.

So the answer is: they experience the climates in A, C, and D. but not the one in B.
