1 answer:

4 0

An increase in carbon in the atmosphere would likely be due to increased carbon dioxide gas resulting mainly from the burning of fossil fuels plus deforestation results in global warming. Global warming is causing glaciers to melt including both alpine glaciers like those in BC Canada and also continental glaciers like the ones in say, Greenland and Antarctica.The melting of glaciers will cause a rise in sea levels which can result in low-lying areas like the coast of North Carolina being inundated.

Why are the N, S, E, and W designations often omitted from coordinates on U.S. topographic maps?

Karolina [17]

In a Topographic map, here are the programming values of each of that navgations:

N = positive value to the latitude
S= Negative value to the Latitude
W = Positive value to the longitude
E = Negative value to the longitude

Most programmers that work to create the topographic map choose to simply ommit the <span>N,S,W,&E</span> because it will save them a lot of time from having to type in a minus sign before most of their longitude values in code writing.<span>

Argue A friend makes the following claim: There are enough resources

gavmur [86]

Answer:

No, I don’t agree that there are enough resources on earth to support increase in per capita consumption rates if human population growth rates stay the same.

Explanation:

The population is growing at a much higher rate than we expect it to be. According to statistics, in recent years we've been adding about a billion people every 12 or 13 years or so.
There are no any resource which lasts eternity, so we must use it very wisely.
And we all know the consequences of the increasing population. The resources are limited and population is excessive so with this rate of growth of population and limited resources, we are the guest for few decades only.
