Geography

Zanzabum3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Lima is located between the Pacific Ocean and the foothills of the Andes. It would be well-suited to host the Summer Olympic Games.

Explanation:

Lima's proximity to the Pacific Ocean makes it a good venue for Olympic water sports. The terrain in the city of Lima is relatively flat making it a good venue for road events like cycling, but the foothills of the Andes are nearby as well so the mountain biking events would also have the appropriate terrain. Lima would be better suited to summer Olympic events as the winter is not cold enough to produce the snow and ice needed for winter sports.  Lima recently hosted a successful Pan Am Games in 2019, making many infrastructure upgrades for athletic events around the city including an Olympic-sized pool that would also make it a suitable site for a future Olympics.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

In my opinion, if the United States were not a set of unified states under a single national government but rather a set of independent nations without ties to each other, the quality of life of the inhabitants of each independent state would drop considerably. This is so because the economies of each state would be significantly less decisive than the American economy in general, and except for specific cases such as California, Texas or New York, the rest of the states would have a notable lack of resources that should be compensated through unfavorable trade treaties with other countries. In addition, the demographic and political weight of each state would be much smaller, which would not be able to obtain the same commercial benefits that are obtained today, which would generate a greater lack of jobs and a decrease in the quality of life of the citizens.

Is ice a mineral or not​
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Water does not pass the test of being a solid so it is not considered a mineral although ice; which is solid, is classified as a mineral as long as it is naturally occurring. Thus ice in a snow bank is a mineral, but ice in an ice cube from a refrigerator is not.
