Two statements support the claim that Jenner has been given credit for starting and spreading the practice of immunization:
- Jenner became interested in the protective effects of cowpox during his apprenticeship. Here, we are told that Edward Jenner started working on ways to defend the body against diseases as early as during his apprenticeship when he was a teenager. He had been told that farm workers who had contracted cowpox were immune to the smallpox epidemic which was spreading across Europe at the time. He then started working on a vaccine containing cowpox.
- Jenner made the first step to erase smallpox. This first step was to try his new smallpox vaccine on a child in 1796. The child did not catch smallpox. In order to get recognition and validation from the authorities, Jenner administered his vaccine to 22 more people, with success.
The correct answer is - the air.
The Namib Desert is one of the driest places on the planet and that is due to the cold and dry ocean currents alongside the southwestern part of Africa which are not providing the right conditions for precipitation to occur.
Even though there's no rain, because the Namib Desert is very hot, and the ocean currents very cold, the end result is mist that appears every morning, as well as dew.
The plants living in this desert have evolved in accordance to the conditions, so instead of being dependent on their roots for getting water, they get the majority of the water through their leafs and skin, directly from the air.
Because they are at the intertropical converge zone. Which is where air rises due to direct solar radiation causes water vapor to fall back to earth as rain.
