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.

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!!

Which statement is true about the waxing gibbous moon versus the waning gibbous moon?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

All of the above is true about the waxing gibbous and waning gibbous moon.

Explanation:

The first option is correct because the waxing gibbous moon is lit up on the right, with the moon moving into full moon phase next, and then being followed by a phase where it is lit up on the left, known as the gibbous waning moon.

The second option is correct because the moon moves from the waxing gibbous phase toward the full moon phase, it is becoming more and more lit up, thus it gains light, while the waning gibbous moon phase comes after the full moon phase where it is becoming less and less lit up, thus loses light.

The third option is correct because the lit up part of the moon in both of these phases has an elliptical shape, with the elongated part being on the top and bottom side, thus giving it an appearance like a football.
