“One thing that is poorly understood is population growth in Africa,” says William Cobbett, director of Cities Alliance . “It is thought that populations are growing mainly because of urban migration. That’s not correct. Across the continent, the bulk of population growth comes from natural population growth. Undesa figures from 1950-2050 show that in the case of Uganda – the outlier – its population in one century will multiply 20 times. That has never happened in human history.” Tanzania will grow 18 times and Nigeria 10.5.
“Most local authorities don’t have the capacity to deal with this, so there is no forward planning to make provisions for this population growth, which we know is going to happen.”
His organisation is trying to combat the mindset that you can’t plan for increased slum population, by supporting the creation of municipal development forums in a number of Ugandan cities. These are structured discussions where the local authority, local private sector companies and slum dwellers meet and deliberate about the future of the city.
Having the capacity to plan for future slum populations isn’t just a problem limited to Africa though.

The measure of one angle of a triangle is 115°. The other two angles are congruent. What is the measure of each angle?
Orlov [11]
The sum of the angles of the triangle is equal to 180°.

Let x be the measure of the each of the two angles. The equation that would best represent and relate the given measures of the angle is,
 
                              180 = x + x + 115

Group all variables and constants in each side of the equation.

                        180 - 115 = 2x

Simplifying,

                         65 = 2x

Divide the equation by 2,
 
                      32.5 = x

The value of x is equal to 32.5°.

Hence, the answer is the last choice.

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points 20) (-17, -7), (3, -10)
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

0.15

Explanation:

Slope (m) =  

ΔY

ΔX

=  

-3

20

= -0.15

θ =  

arctan( ΔY ) + 360°

ΔX

= 351.46923439005°

ΔX = 3 – -17 = 20

ΔY = -10 – -7 = -3

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √409 = 20.223748416157

When it was first proposed, Alfred Wegener's continental drift hypothesis was heavily criticized by earth scientists. What was o
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The continental drift theory was introduced by Alfred Wegener. He said that the continents moved over the vast ocean surface from one place to another.

He contributed many pieces of evidences in support f this theory, which includes the founding of similar fossil assemblages, similar rocks types in the distant continents, matching of the continental boundaries, but he was not able to explain the main mechanism behind the continental motion.

Due to this, this theory was not accepted by the other scientists and he was criticized by them.

Later, this theory was modified into the Plate tectonic theory which was successful in explaining the mechanism behind the continental motion i.e the formation of convection current in mantle that drives the plates movement.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
