Geography

Nonamiya [84]3 years ago

Answer:

It is a well-known fact that nearly 70% of the earth is filled with water in the form of different kinds of water bodies such as oceans, lakes and rivers etc. All these water bodies, especially oceans and seas,  form an indispensable part of our existence as it has key roles to play in our everyday life. This factor of indispensability has not only helped us tremendously, but has also resulted in the exploitation of the oceanic resources without any second thoughts.

The careless human intervention has badly affected the oceanic ecosystem, threatening the existence of several other species on earth, including human beings. Accidents such as BP oil spill and Samarco dam collapse are the striking instances to see how badly the human activities can destroy the rich ecosystem of water bodies.

Describe four expected impacts of global warming.
yawa3891 [41]

Many impacts can be  brought by global warming, here I would introduce two impact each on the aspect on ecosystem and agriculture.

On ecosystem:

1. Shift in distribution of plants:

The changes in climate brought by global warming will alter the natural distribution limits for vegetation. For example, forests are moving north into the ;and that was once Arctic tundra, while the growing season increased in northern high latitudes.

2. Extinction or endangerment of species

Species may not be able to cope with climate change unlike human, hence intolerance of the increasing temperature may led to the extinction of spices. For example, coral reef cannot survive under temperature over 30 degree Celsius hence facing the danger of extinction.

On agriculture:

3.Farm production lowered

A warmer climate would lead to a loss of soil moisture hence increasing the erosion rate, and the dry soil will lower the land productivity as crops cannot grow on these barren land, especially water thirsty crops such as rice.

4.Farm production destroyed

Pests may become more active given the shorter and warmer winter, while floods may be present more often given the rapidly rising sea level and the instability of the climate.

Hope it helps!

Globalisation impacts on trade, with many companies operating across borders.

Transnational corporations (TNCs) or multinational corporations (MNCs) are companies that operate in more than one country. Unilever, McDonalds and Apple are all examples of TNCs.

TNCs tend to have offices and headquarters located in the developed world. They often have factories in countries that are not as economically developed to take advantage of cheaper labour.
