Redistricting is the process by which new congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn. All United States Representatives and state legislators are elected from political divisions called districts. District lines are redrawn every 10 years following completion of the United States census. The federal government stipulates that districts must have nearly equal populations and must not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity.[1]
See the sections below for further information on the following topics:
Background: This section summarizes federal requirements for redistricting at both the congressional and state legislative levels. In addition, recent court decisions affecting redistricting policy are summarized.
Methods: This section provides details about the various redistricting processes used in the states.
Competitiveness: This section summarizes some of the arguments about the impact of redistricting on electoral competitiveness. Margin-of-victory and competitiveness data for congressional and state legislative elections is provided for informational purposes.
Majority-minority districts: This section summarizes the legal basis for the creation of majority-minority districts and details some of the arguments surrounding the practice.
Looking down on the Earth and Moon from above the Earth's north pole, we see that its revolution is the same direction as the Earth's rotation (and also the Earth's revolution around the Sun). Therefore, at any time only one half of the Moon, the side facing the Sun, is illuminated.
Hope this helps! :) & Happy New Years!
One negative consequence could be that the economy can't grow and get better.
I believe the correct answer would be behavioral isolation. It is an isolating mechanism where two populations or species cannot mate because of the differences in their courtship and mating behavior. It is also called as ethological isolation.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Barrier islands are constantly moving in the direction of the longshore drift.
Explanation:
Barrier islands are islands in the form of relatively narrow strips of sand located close to and parallel to the coast of the mainland. As a rule, they are located in the form of a chain consisting of several islands, sometimes more than a dozen. The length and width of the barrier islands are related to coastal parameters, including tides, wave energy, sea level and soil composition. Some barrier islands reach a length of more than one hundred kilometers, the longest and widest is Padre Island, Texas. The shape, area and the very existence of barrier islands are variable, as they can appear and disappear in a short time on a geological scale.
These islands are formed from the longshore drift, which is forming these islands by sediment and sand accumulation. Therefore, as they are formed by this process, it is the same process that constantly moves them.
