Seven continents are in this world
At 180 degrees longitude, the International date line represents the point at which the eastern and western hemispheres experience different days.
Answer:
10 Human climate drivers include heat-trapping emissions from burning coal, gas and oil in power plants and cars; cutting down and burning forests; tiny pollution particles (aerosols); black carbon pollution more commonly referred to as soot; and changes in land use that also affects Earth's albedo
11 The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. ... The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.
12 Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions.
13 At every stage, food provisioning releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Farming in particular releases significant amounts of methane and nitrous oxide, two powerful greenhouse gases. ... Agriculture accounted for 10% of the EU's total greenhouse-gas emissions in 2012.
14 Cement manufacture contributes greenhouse gases both directly through the production of carbon dioxide when calcium carbonate is thermally decomposed, producing lime and carbon dioxide, and also through the use of energy, particularly from the combustion of fossil fuels.
15 When forests are destroyed by activities such as logging and land conversion for agriculture, they release large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which can increase temperatures.

Answer:
B. Demographic transition refers to a shift in death rates followed by a shift in birthrates, and its associated population boom.
C. Most developing nations are going through a demographic transition today.
Explanation:
- Demographic transition is a model that describes the changes that take place with the advancement of technology and the large scale control of death rates and the spread of diseases, and the development of the population boom in various countries.
- The developing countries like India are still going through stage three pf the demographic transition. Thus shows a marked increase in population and is set to surpass China in the coming years.
