hello there

Andrea's point is probably the answer you're looking for, however, you should keep in mind that many (most?) environmental laws are driven more by politics than by the available data. Scientists do research on any number of topics (environmental or not) that have implications for our society. We (scientists) like to think that policy makers take our data and results into consideration when drafting legislation, but I would say that in my experience this rarely happens. For one, there have rarely been any federal legislators who understand science. Even the few physicians who've gone into politics seem largely to fail to understand very basic tenets of science, or at least they don't often demonstrate it with their political actions. Leaving environmental issues, for example, if politicians took science into account, there would be no discussion in any school district in the country about whether or not evolution should be taught in schools, as there are simply *NO* scientists who are qualified to have an opinion who would suggest it shouldn't. Environmental issues are not really any different.

hope that helped bye

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

No heat no endogenous tectonic processes.

Explanation:

There is a great influence of the earth's internal heat on endogenous tectonic processes  because the internal heat causes the plates to melt due to which earthquakes occur. Without this internal heat of earth, no endogenous tectonic processes occur because these processes require heat to happen so we can say that internal heat of the earth has a great impact on the happening of endogenous tectonic processes.

Why is the price of land on the 'open space' so low?​
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

If jobs are scarce in your locality, with layoffs occurring and home ownership put in jeopardy, values fall. Like a domino effect, fewer people can afford to buy a house. Owners lower their prices to compete in a diminished market.
