What factors can you look at to determine if a country is "very highly developed"?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The HDI (Human Development Index) considers three main dimensions to evaluate the development of a country:

1. Long and healthy life of its citizens

2. Education.

3. Standard of living.

Explanation:

1. Long and healthy life

The long and healthy life dimension is measured by life expectancy at birth. The life expectancy at birth is a statistical measure that an average individual is expected to live based on certain demographic factors such as the year of birth and current age.

2. Education

This is a second dimension in the HDI. The indicators of education are the expected years of schooling and the mean years of schooling. According to the UN, the average maximum years of schooling is 18 years, while the mean maximum years of schooling is 15 years.

3. Standard of living

The standard of living is usually measured by the gross national income (GNI) per capita. The GNI indicates the total domestic and foreign output created by the residents of a certain country.

Write a characteristic of the photic zone of a freshwater biome.
lana [24]

Characteristics of the photic zone in the freshwater biome are the warmer water, light, rich in freshwater organisms, shallow.

The photic zone is the first zone from the top of the freshwater body of water. It is the shallowest part of the body of water, and it is further divided into the littoral zone and limnetic zone. This zone is the closest to the shore. The sunlight manages to penetrate in it, so it is a zone where the majority of the producers are able to survive and thrive because they can perform the process of photosynthesis. Since this zone enables the producers to thrive, and the producers are the basis of any ecosystem, it enables the further existence, high diversification, and thriving of all the other living organisms in the freshwater biome. The photic zone is also characterized with warmer water because it is on the top, it is heated by sunlight, so that provides nice conditions for the living organisms to be the most abundant in this zone.
