It would be "Patrick Henry" who was not a Federalists, since Patrick Henry was in fact opposed to the ratification of the Constitution, which made him an "Anti-Federalist".
The Aswan High Dam was built to regulate and control the annual flooding of the Nile River in order to protect crops and property from such uncontrolled flooding and to generate electricity. Most of its effects have been positive but several environmental effects are:
- Water-logging: because of the continuous high levels of water, the soil around the area is saturated with water, which prevents oxygenation of the soil that is essential to several plants and crops.
- Salinization of soils: caused by the inability of water-saturated soils to absorb salt, it is toxic to crops and damaging to infrastructures.
- Soil Erosion: it is a consequence of soil salinization as crops die and are unable to hold the soil in place.
There were also other negative effects such as:
- Archeology: two important archeological sites of Ancient Egypt were flooded and covered by the dam waters: the ancient cemetery of Fadrus and the Buhen fort.
- Loss of sediment: the annual flooding carried an enormous amount of sediment that is now trapped within the resulting Lake Nasser. Many of these sediments were used by local industries to manufacture bricks and they lost access to this renewable source of raw materials.
- More expensive and difficult purification of water: because the water does not move as much it is more transparent and allows the sunlight to penetrate deeper. This, combined with the trapped sediments has increased the growth of algae that have proliferated to the point that water purification is more and more expensive due to the necessary removal of this plant.
Countries with high taxes usually provide many social and public services to the people.
Answer:
Pinchot's ideas inspired government policy that forests be protected for public use.
Explanation:
Gifford Pinchot, a well-known politician, a member of the progressive reforms of the Roosevelt administration, a figure in the field of environmental protection in the United States, substantiated the ideas of the careful and efficient use of resources. He led the US Forest Service and first introduced environmental management practices regarding forests, soil, and other natural resources. At the beginning of the 20th century, he was one of the key politicians substantiating the need for environmental protection, based on economic viability.
Pinchot was appointed by McKinley as Head of the Department of Forestry at the Department of Agriculture. In 1905, his department gained control of national forest reserves. Pinchot promoted private use (for a fee) under federal control. In 1907, Roosevelt allocated 16 million acres (65,000 km²) of new national forests.
Answer:
Explanation:
Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies that occurs over time within a population. This change is due to four different processes: mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow and genetic drift.
