<span>South American countries have been attempting to mirror the free market system of the United States since around 1980 (the "Washington Consensus"). This has lead to economic stagnation in these countries. In order to boost their own economies, they are now looking at the models of more productive nations whose economies are growing very rapidly and are attempting to mirror their market systems. The main countries being scrutinized are China and India, who have nationalized many of their industries/resources. This would explain the shift.</span>
Answer:
X is located at 640ft in elevation.
The western side is steeper because the lines are closer together than the other sides of the hill.
Explanation:
Each contour line represents a 20ft increase in elevation. You can see the 600ft line labeled on the map, so the next one in is 620, and the one labeled "X" is 640.
Contour lines that are farther apart indicate a more gentle slope that is increasing its height over a longer distance. Just like a graph in math class, slope is "rise over run," so a flatter slope tells us that the height is increasing slowly. Close contour lines show us that the height is going up very quickly.
Answer:
Beginning with Earth, then Jupiter, followed by Saturn, then Uranus, and finally Neptune
Explanation:
The distance of these planets from the sun is as follows. This is the average distance as the distance changes with the position of the planet in its orbit.
Earth = 150 million km
Jupiter = 779 million km
Saturn = 1.43 billion km
Uranus = 2.88 billion km
Neptune = 4.5 billion km
The cycle takes about about 29.5 days.
