Which items are described by the geographic theme of human-environmental interaction? A.The Pyrenees Mountains form the border b

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

B. The Channel Tunnel connecting the United Kingdom and France reduced travel time between these nations

E. Land has been cleared to make room for France's famous vineyards

F. A highway through Mount Blanc connects Italy and France

Explanation:

One of the five themes of geography is the human-environmental interaction. The human-environmental interaction basically means that the humans and the environment interact with each other and affect each other, sometimes in positive manner, sometimes in negative manner. There are many examples for this geographic theme across the globe.

The Channel Tunnel between the UK and France is an underwater tunnel. Its purpose is to make the traveling easier and faster between the two nations. It has been built in the sea waters, and fortunately it is not having any negative impacts on the environment.

France is one of the biggest producers of vine in the world. In order to have the amount of grapes needed for France to produce lot of vine it needs lot of agricultural land. This has been accomplished by clearing the land from the wild vegetation over time. While this has had a very positive impact on the economy of France, it has had very negative effect on the wildlife as it has totally ruined the habitat for lot of species.

Italy and France are separated by a massive mountain range, the Alps. The Alps are very large and very high, but nonetheless the humans managed to find ways to build highways through them despite all the difficulties. The highways are state of art through the Alps, and they are very useful for the countries in the region as these highways connect them, and not making them isolted. It has not been so great for the environment though, as lot of changes have been done to the mountain range, and every day there's thousands of animals that die on the highways.

You are at 35 N and 175 W; you move to a new location which is 40 south and 60 west of your present position. What are the coord

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The new coordinates are 5S and 125E

Explanation:

Addition of latitudes:

If they are in the same direction, you just have to add the values.

For example, 5N + 10N = 15N.

You have to be careful that we don't have any latitude higher than 90. So, if the result of your sum is higher than 90, we subtract 180 by the result, and the position is in the other hemisphere.

For example

60N + 40N = 100N

100N is larger than 90, so not possible

Subtracting and changing hemisphere

180 - 100N = 80S

When they are in opposite directions, you can just say that one hemisphere is the positive one, and the other is the negative.

In this problem, i am going to say that the North hemisphere is the positive one and the South the negative.

So, currently at 35N moving 40S. The new position is

$P = 35 - 40 = -5$

Since the result is negative, this just means that we are in the Southern Hemisphere, so 5S

Adittion of Longitudes:

They work just like the latitudes, the difference is that we don't have any longitude higher than 180. So, if we have a result higher than 180, we subtract 360 by this value and change the hemisphere.

In this problem.

175W + 60W = 235, higher than 180, so:

360 - 235 = 125E
