Plz help, i am not good at geography, explain how importing food from abroad (high food miles) increases carbon footprints

Geography

Explanation:

This adds miles to the journey of an item of food and therefore means more transport costs and more pollution. ... For example, some foods do not grow easily in the UK and need heated greenhouses. This means the food produced locally may have a larger carbon footprint than that grown in a warmer climate.

F. Y. I im not that good at geography to but i like it

Answer:

Hey!

Importing food from abroad (i.e. from South Africa) adds to the size of a carbon footprint because the amount of fuels used, (oil, petrol, diesel, kerosene and many more), increases with the distance travelled...

And more fuels that are burnt in the preparation of the product, transporting the product to the distribution centres, shipping and deliveries results in the increase the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases which eventually, in the long term, add to Climate Change/Global Warming...

Explanation:

haha I'm doing Geography for GCSE's so I guess I'm quite good at it!

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Find the longer diagonal of a parallelogram having sides of 10 and 15 and an angle measure of 60°.
wlad13 [49]
Given a diagonal with the sides 10 and 15 units, the angle formed between them is 120.
to get the length of the longest diagonal we use the cosine rule which states that;
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abCos(C)
where a,b and c are the sides and C is the angle.
therefore let:
a=15,b=10,C=120,c=?to solve for the length C we shall substitute the values in our formula:
c^2=15^2+10^2-2*15*10 cos 120
c^2=225+100-300cos120
c^2=325-(300*(-0.5))
c^2=325-(-150)
c^2=475
getting the square root of both sides;
sqrt (c^2)=sqrt475
c=21.795
the since this is the opposite side to the largest angle, we therefore conclude that the longer diagonal of the parallelogram is 21.795 units
