Answer:
I believed they should be recognized as most of the people in Taiwan are supporting this idea.
Explanation:
In modern period according to me it is unthinkable that people of certain area and country are not able to decide on their own whether they want to support certain political idea and agendas.
That is why people of Taiwan should decide on their own whether they would like to live an independent country or to remain the part of China.
In 1998, Canada's highest court declared that Quebec could not legally secede.
Explanation:
Canada is the second largest country in the world. In order for the vast territory to be easier for governing, Canada is divided into provinces and territories. Such provinces and territories in Canada are:
- Quebec
- Ontario
- Alberta
- Manitoba
- British Columbia
- Saskatchewan etc.
While most of the provinces and territories have nothing against being in the borders of Canada, there is one that opposes it, that being Quebec. Quebec is one of the provinces that contributes the most to the GDP of the country, is one of the most populous, and has an excellent location.
This province doesn't want to be in the borders of Canada though, but instead wants to be independent. The main reasons for that are that the majority of the people of Quebec have different ethnic and cultural background than the rest of the provinces and territories. While the people of Quebec already had several referendums about independence, with the majority of the population voting for it, the Canadian highest court declared any attempts for seceding of Quebec illegal in 1998.

Answer:
- Divergent plate boundary, which causes volcanic activity and shallow earthquakes.
- Convergent plate boundary, which has one plate that “dives (‘subducts’) beneath the other, resulting in a variety of earthquakes and a line of volcanos on the overriding plate”
- Transform plate boundary, where plates slide laterally past one another, producing shallow earthquakes but little to no volcanic activity.
- Hotspot, “where a plate rides over a rising plume of hot mantle, creating a line of volcanoes on top of the plate.”
How will man-made climate change affect the ocean circulation? Is the present system of ocean currents stable, and could it be disrupted if we continue to fill the atmosphere with greenhouse gases? These are questions of great importance not only to the coastal nations of the world. While the ultimate cause of anthropogenic climate change is in the atmosphere, the oceans are nonetheless a vital factor. They do not respond passively to atmospheric changes but are a very active component of the climate system. There is an intense interaction between oceans, atmosphere and ice. Changes in ocean circulation appear to have strongly amplified past climatic swings during the ice ages, and internal oscillations of the ocean circulation may be the ultimate cause of some climate variations.
Our understanding of the stability and variability of the ocean circulation has greatly advanced during the past decade through progress in modelling and new data on past climatic changes. I will not attempt to give a comprehensive review of all the new findings here, but rather I will emphasise four key points.
Ocean currents have a profound influence on climate
Covering some 71 per cent of the Earth and absorbing about twice as much of the sun's radiation as the atmosphere or the land surface, the oceans are a major component of the climate system. With their huge heat capacity, the oceans damp temperature fluctuations, but they play a more active and dynamic role as well. Ocean currents move vast amounts of heat across the planet - roughly the same amount as the atmosphere does. But in contrast to the atmosphere, the oceans are confined by land masses, so that their heat transport is more localised and channelled into specific regions.
The present El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean is an impressive demonstration of how a change in regional ocean currents - in this case, the Humboldt current - can affect climatic conditions around the world. As I write, severe drought conditions are occurring in a number of Western Pacific countries. Catastrophic forest and bush fires have plagued several countries of South-East Asia for months, causing dangerous air pollution levels. Major floods have devastated parts of East Africa. A similar El Niño event in 1982/83 claimed nearly 2,000 lives and global losses of an estimated US$ 13 billion.
Another region that feels the influence of ocean currents particularly strongly is the North Atlantic. It is at the receiving end of a circulation system linking the Antarctic with the Arctic, known as 'thermohaline circulation' or more picturesquely as 'Great Ocean Conveyor Belt' (Fig. 1). The Gulf Stream and its extension towards Scotland play an important part in this system. The term thermohaline circulation describes the driving forces: the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline) of sea water, which determine the water density differences which ultimately drive the flow. The term 'conveyor belt' describes its function quite well: an upper branch loaded with heat moves north, delivers the heat to the atmosphere, and then returns south at about 2-3 km below the sea surface as North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). The heat transported to the northern North Atlantic in this way is enormous: it measures around 1 PW, equivalent to the output of a million power stations. If we compare places in Europe with locations at similar latitudes on the North American continent, the effect becomes obvious. Bodö in Norway has average temperatures of -2°C in January and 14°C in July; Nome, on the Pacific Coast of Alaska at the same latitude, has a much colder -15°C in January and only 10°C in July. And satellite images show how the warm current keeps much of the Greenland-Norwegian Sea free of ice even in winter, despite the rest of the Arctic Ocean, even much further south, being frozen.
Answer:
A, Judaism.
Explanation:
Judaism was the religion that came before any of the other options, so this is the clear answer. Hope this helps!
