Answer: A) Under emissions trading programs, pollution levels will not fall sufficiently for optimal abatement.

Explanation:

First conceived in the seventies to fight acid rain and now useful in the battle against climate change, emissions trading is a program targeted at reducing emission by companies.

Under this scheme, every company that produces emissions will need to hold a permit for a limited amount. If they produce more than their stated limit, they would need to buy from other permit holders who produce lower emissions.  

While this program can set a limit of total emissions, it will not succeed in reducing pollution levels below this limit.

Describe the Aboriginal groups of Canada. In a short paragraph, explain some of the differences between these groups.
marysya [2.9K]
The Amerindians of Canada or indigenous peoples of Canada were culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse. Regarding the cultural division, there is a difference in the northeast region characterized by forests, the subarctic region and the Arctic region, as well as other smaller regions such as the Pacific coast and less extensive inland regions.
Linguistically there are three large families (Algonquian, Na-dené, Eskimo-Aleutian), and in the most abundant regions in resources there were higher population densities and also greater ethnic and linguistic diversity. Curiously, in some areas not covered by large families, isolated languages are spoken by people who do not seem to be phylogenetically their neighbors.

Identify the true statement about drainage divides. A drainage divide is a ridge that separates one watershed from another. Prec
marta [7]

Answer:

A drainage divide is a ridge that separates one watershed from another

Explanation:

A drainage divide is the natural feature that is dividing the watersheds, or rather it is a ridge of a mountain or hill that is dividing the waters. The drainage divides determine where the water will go, on which side, in which streams and rivers. Some of them are larger, some are smaller, but they all do the same job. Where the waters from a certain watershed will end up though depends on the topography of the terrain, which can make them the waters move in any direction, or better said from higher to lower places. This occasionally gives weird paths of the waters from some watershed, as the watershed can be very close to a big body of water, but the topography moves it away from it, and it ends up in a body of water hundreds or even thousands km away.
