Geography

dedylja [7]3 years ago

The depletion of the natural assets by the humans has resulted only in negative effects. As natural assets we can take the water, forests, grasslands, oil etc. With the depletion of these natural assets, the humans have managed to cause incredibly high damage to the natural cycles, to the environment, to the species. The water for example is crucial for the survival of any organism, but the humans don't seem to take that in consideration, so the water is overused, and lot of species end up dead. Also, the extraction of groundwater causes the land to be unstable, as big gap opens up below the surface, so the surface layers often crumble. The extraction of oil uses methods that directly kill off and badly injure any living organism nearby. The forests and grasslands have been converted to agricultural landscapes, so lot of species went extinct or are endangered because they have lost their habitats.

Hierarchical diffusion is one of six ways cultures can spread around the world (what we call ‘types of cultural diffusion’). What makes hierarchical diffusion unique is that it involves the spread of culture starting from the most powerful and influential people within the culture.

Once the influential people embrace a certain culture, the rest of the culture are more likely to follow.

Landlocked sea that borders russia and iran
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Caspian Sea

Explanation:

The largest lake in the world, or often referred to as a landlocked sea, the Caspian Sea, is the body of water on which both Russia and Iran come out and have borders on it. Iran occupies the southern part of the Caspian Sea, while Russia occupies the northern half of its western part and the northwestern part. The other three countries that have their share in this lake are Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan.

The Caspian Sea is actually a lake, as in order to be classified as a sea it has to be connected with the rest of the ocean and sea waters, and it is not, it is landlocked. It has saline water though, which is why it is referred to as a sea. The saline water in it is there because this lake is a remnant of a once very large ocean, Tethys, that was stretching all the way from Spain to Indonesia, and from the central part of the Indian Ocean to Central Asia. With the movement of the Indian plate toward southern Eurasia, and the African toward western Eurasia, this ocean was closed down. The collision of these plates with he Eurasian caused the formation of numerous mountain chains as well, so Tethys was totally destroyed, only leaving behind it remnants like the Caspian Sea deep inland.
