Geography

postnew [5]3 years ago

Answer:

Similarities:

The U.S. and Europe territory are almost entirely within non-tropical territory, above the Tropic of Cancer.

The U.S. and Europe both have large plains in their territory. The U.S. has the Midwest plains, and Europe has the northern European Plain.

The U.S. and Europe also have mountain ranges. Some of them young, like the Alps in Europe or the Rocky Mountains in the U.S., while others are very old Mountain Ranges, like the Appalachian Mountains in the U.S., or the Scandinavian Mountains in Europe.

Differences:

Europe's latitude is much higher than the latitude of the United States, on average. Madrid, one of the southernmost European capitals, is at the same latitude as New York City, while Florida is at the same latitude as Morocco and Western Sahara, in Africa.

Europe has a more complex coastline, with many smaller peninsulas (Europe itself is a peninsula), inner seas, inlets, and so on. The coasts of the United States, especially the West Coast, is much more straightforward.

The United States has a large area that has either a subtropical or even tropical climate (South Florida). Europe lacks either of the two because of latitude.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

- availability of birth control

- migration

- uncertainty about the future

Explanation:

Eastern Europe is a region that has a negative demographic trends. The population is going down, and there isn't a single country of this region that actually has a positive population growth.

One of the main factors in the migration, as these countries are developing countries and they don't offer high wages and good living conditions, lot of people migrate in Western Europe and North America. Because the economy of these countries is not the best, the people are afraid about their future, so they choose to have one or two children tops, as they are not sure will they be able to afford to have more. The availability of the birth control also had its impact, as the women can be sexually active but not be afraid that they will get pregnant when they don't want to.

Human Impact

Introduction to Human Impact

Human impact on the environment carries many negative longterm consequences.
Consumption, altering habitats, and carbon emissions are all human activities destroying the natural world.



Habitat Alteration

Habitat alteration is changing earth's natural compositing by destroying habitats to build upon or fragmenting habitats for roads and access. This is the biggest threat to biodiversity.



Pollution

Pollution is the contamination of Earth's atmosphere and surface (land and bodies of water).
Disposal of human waste results in land pollution, while burning fossil fuels results in air pollution. Land and air pollution affect water contamination.



Deforestation

Deforestation is the removal and destruction of forests.
Clear cutting completely removes all trees in an area for human consumption, such as building materials, paper products, etc.



Human Population Growth

The human population has continued to increase, which means human impact on the environment will increase as well.
Concerns include lack of space, food, and other resources, as well as disease outbreaks.



Acid Rain

Acid rain is caused by burning fossil fuels, which releases acidic gases into the atmosphere. The gases latch on to water molecules and the result is acid (low pH) rain.
Acid rain results in organism death and destruction of infrastructure.
