Geography

6 0

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!!

If the average price level increases by 2 percent this year, price stability has been achieved. True Or False (i need help right
Brut [27]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Price stability is achieved when inflation, the general increase in the price level of goods and services over a period of time, reaches a relatively low level, usually from 1 - 3%.

For this reason, an inflation level (average price level increase) of around 2% would be considered as price stability by any contemporary central bank.

Alika [10]

Answer:

These include the various forms of Chinese Buddhism, Japanese Buddhism, Korean Buddhism, Singaporean Buddhism and Vietnamese Buddhism.

Although Buddhism is not traditionally a religion that actively seeks to 'convert' others, it nonetheless spread across South East Asia and became a widely followed religion in many countries in the Middle Ages, due largely to the voyages of Buddhist traders across Central Asia.
