Answer:

The largest mass extinction ever recorded on earth was that which occurred at the end of the end of the Permian period.

Explanation:

The largest mass extinction of species ever recorded on Earth, which occurred 252 million years ago and eliminated 96% of marine fauna, occurred at the end of the Permian period and was the result of global warming and left the animals of the oceans without sufficient oxygen to survive.

The lack of oxygen caused by global warming explains more than half of the loss of marine diversity in this late Permian mass extinction and other factors, such as acidification or changes in the productivity of photosynthetic organisms, acted as additional causes, according to these scientists.

The situation at the end of the Permian, when the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere generated higher temperatures on Earth, is similar to the current one.

Which countries in the Middle East export petroleum?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The countries in the Middle East that export petroleum are Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and I think there are a few more but those are the main ones. Lots of Middle Eastern countries export it but these are the main ones. Places like Saudi Arabia and Iran have lots of oil fields available, so they would naturally export lots of petroleum.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The Soviet leader who began glasnost and perestroika was _____.
brilliants [131]

Answer:  Mikhail Gorbachev

Explanation:

In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of<em> perestroika </em>(restructuring) and <em>glasnost </em>(openness) in the Soviet Union.  These seemed like policies that leaned in the direction of Western ways of economics and politics.  <em>Perestroika </em>meant allowing some measure of private enterprise in the Soviet Union.  <em>Glasnost </em>meant allowing a bit of freedom in regard to speech and publication.   But don't get the idea that Gorbachev was trying to get rid of the Soviet communist system.  He actually was trying to prop it up and preserve it, because it was starting to have many problems sustaining itself.  But in the end, opening things up a bit with <em>perestroik</em>a and <em>glasnost </em>policies only pushed the USSR further in the direction of shedding the communist model under which it had lived for so long.

If the average price level increases by 2 percent this year, price stability has been achieved. True Or False (i need help right
Brut [27]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Price stability is achieved when inflation, the general increase in the price level of goods and services over a period of time, reaches a relatively low level, usually from 1 - 3%.

For this reason, an inflation level (average price level increase) of around 2% would be considered as price stability by any contemporary central bank.
