The Short Answer:
High and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.
Given:
WXYZ = 8m
W'X'Y'Z' = 6m
Pls. see attachment if it is similar to the figure that should have accompanied this problem. I simply edited the details to fit this problem.
WXYZ * scale factor = W'X'Y'Z'
scale factor = W'X'Y'Z' ÷ WXYZ
scale factor = 6m ÷ 8m
simplify: 6/8 → (6÷2) / (8÷2) = 3/4
The scale factor is 3/4
Answer:
global distribution of megacities refers to the dispersion of a population of 10 million people or more in all parts of the world.
Explanation:
Global distribution of megacities is usually determined by the number of people within a population which should not go below 10 million. these people making up the populations can be located in different locations, either in the cities or in the countryside. In January 2015, for example, China’s Pearl River Delta conurbation overtook Tokyo as the world’s largest city (Van Mead, 2016). However, this depends on how the ‘city’ is measured – the Pearl River Delta includes the cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan (but not Hong Kong, which is considered a separate territory under its ‘Special Administrative Zone’ status within China). If these cities were measured separately, Tokyo would likely remain the world’s largest city.

Great Famine, also called Irish Potato Famine, Great Irish Famine, or Famine of 1845–49, famine that occurred in Ireland in 1845–49 when the potato crop failed in successive years. The crop failures were caused by late blight, a disease that destroys both the leaves and the edible roots, or tubers, of the potato plant. As a direct consequence of the famine, Ireland's population fell from almost 8.4 million in 1844 to 6.6 million by 1851. About 1 million people died and perhaps 2 million more eventually emigrated from the country. Many who survived suffered from malnutrition. Additionally, because the financial burden for weathering the crisis was placed largely on Irish landowners, hundreds of thousands of tenant farmers and laborers unable to pay their rents were evicted by landlords unable to support them. Continuing emigration and low birth rates meant that by the 1920s Ireland's population was barely half of what it had been before the famine.
