Answer:
B) The GDP will increase because Nigeria will be able to produce more oil
Explanation:
The introduction of a new technology would result in an increase in the volume of crude oil being produced by the nation. This in turn will improve the net exports of the government which would increase the gross domestic product of the country.
Gross domestic product is the total market value of the goods and services produced by a country within a specified period. It is calculated by summing up consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.
The Egyptians and Mayans both used symbols to convey meaning in written language. However, the similarity pretty much stops there. This is remarkable, though, considering the fact that these cultures – millennia and worlds apart – developed similar writing systems.
The Egyptian hieroglyphics didn’t have punctuation and they were written in long lines of script. They were found on everything from paper, to stone, to jewelry. Reading the glyphs, you go from left to right. Egyptian glyphs are divided into phonograms - representing sounds and ideograms - representing ideas or objects.
The Mayans’ system used picture blocks to convey meaning. Their glyphs were mostly on stone. Reading the glyphs is very different from reading Egyptian glyphs. You go left to right and read a “pair” of glyphs and then go down to the next line and read the next pair. They form a sort of a zig-zag pattern. Thus, if reading, you would read block 1A, then block 1B. Then you go to the next line and read 2A, then block 2B. Mayan glyphs are divided into logograms to express meaning or syllabograms to represent sounds.
I would say that a significant change affecting the natural environment and biodiversity could be the cultivation of corn and beans in mesoamerica which probably required the clearing of some land for the purpose. In populous societies such as the Aztecs the amount of cultivation would have been significant to feed a large population. In more recent times, the buffalo hunt of the First Nations and metis people in what is now Canada as long as it was carried out on a small scale for food and clothing was sustainable but once rifles were introduced and hides were sought and also due to a deliberate policy of extermination by the US military to destroy the independence of the First Nations and force them onto reservations, the bison were almost exterminated. In the 16th century, it was estimated that there were 25-30 million buffalo which is one of the largest populations of mammals recorded in the world. It is believed that the First Nations deliberately burned areas of the Great Plains to foster grasslands for the buffalo feed.
