Answer:

This will have a centrifugal effect on a country.

Explanation:

If we have a situation where a country's population is divided because of political views, with people from rural areas supporting one, and people from urban and suburban areas supporting another one, the country will most probably experience a centrifugal effect. The centrifugal effect is a negative effect for a country because it causes division and potential break up.

In this case, it is not just that people vote for two different political parties, but the problem is that the voting is related to particular groups of people with different types of lifestyles and views in life. This always tends to cause problems, often starting with fierce debates and protests, but occasionally ending up with violence and separatism.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The composition of the atmosphere is about 80% of nitrogen and is 20% of oxygen by mass.
  • At a height of more than 20 kilometers above the surface of the earth this pressure decrease as the gases are attracted to gravity and thus decrease in air molecules at the height above or beyond this layer as the region of mixing ends.
  • Layers above the 30 kilometers are cool and temperature inversion occurs with a low density of air. If assuming the temperature to be fixed at the 25 degrees the pressure with atmosphere gaining height would still not change as rarefying of air particles and only the presence of earth's magnetic field.
  • As it will keep on getting thinner and thinner and merge into outer space.
