4 0

The term island hopping was used during WWII when the US and its allied forces were going from island to island trying to regain and push out the Japanese forces in the islands from Guam, Tarawa, Guadalcanal, Palua, and others, including Okinawa. Most of the tiny atolls were bombed, however, the only way to take over them was to land forces and literally flush out the Japanese soldiers by fire. Chuuk in Micronesia was believed to be very difficult to land troops and it would take a great amount of forces to land, so the US and its allies blockaded the entire lagoon, starving the Japanese. That is one of the island hopping terms I have heard. Marine are notorious for these beach landings, many of their hero's were made in the island hopping campaign. <span />

The two major functions of law environment are commonly known as

mart [117]

Explanation:

Environmental law is a collective term encompassing aspects of the law that provide protection to the environment.[1] A related but distinct set of regulatory regimes, now strongly influenced by environmental legal principles, focus on the management of specific natural resources, such as forests, minerals, or fisheries. Other areas, such as environmental impact assessment, may not fit neatly into either category, but are nonetheless important components of environmental law. Previous research found that when environmental law reflects moral values for betterment, legal adoption is more likely to be successful, which usually happens in well-developed regions. In less-developed states, changes in moral values are necessary for successful legal implementation when environmental law differs from moral values.[2]

The correct answer is B) Humans developed multiple uses for their resources.

Identify the methods used to compensate for the scarcity of resources in the ancient world.

The resources were used differently in the Neolithic Era in that humans developed multiple uses for their resources.

During the Neolithic Revolution or Agriculture Revolution, humans learned to grow crops and developed agriculture techniques that allow them to settle in one place. That was the case of the Sumerians that established between the Tigres and Euphrates Rivers or the Egyptians that settled in next to the Nile River. They knew that resources were scarce and tried to take care of them developing multiple uses for their resources. They also started to domesticate animals.

Countries sought new trade routes to avoid the chaos and high prices involved in the Mediterranean routes

Lena [83]

No, it is generally false that countries sought new trade routes to avoid the high prices associated with the Mediterranean, since transporting goods by seas was almost always cheaper and more efficient than transporting by land.
