Answer: Indonesia
Explanation:
Archipelago- a group of many islands
Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world
There are total number of 17,508 islands.
Property rights. The rapid growth of cities has led to government transfers of rural land to urban and industrial uses. Inadequate compensation to farmers whose property rights have been poorly defined has fueled growing civil unrest, while urban leaseholders seek to strengthen their new property rights.
Property tax implementation. Recent tax reform has reduced local government revenues and prompted local officials to rely on land sales receipts, fees, and off-budget revenues to finance government expenditures. China’s government is seeking to implement a property tax as a local revenue source to take advantage of the rapid growth of the real estate market.
Farmland preservation. The large amount of land removed from agricultural production by the complex forces of urbanization has exacerbated concerns about farmland preservation, especially related to food security.
Urban planning and development. Rapid urbanization has also resulted in increased urban poverty, housing affordability problems, inequality between urban and rural population groups, regional disparities, and other social and economic challenges. China’s urban planning practices are in need of reform to better reflect market forces and economic behavior.
Environmental sustainability. China’s economic and demographic changes over the past 30 years have been associated with severe environmental degradation. With rapid urbanization forecast over the next decade, there is growing consensus that China must find a more sustainable development model. More sustainable cities are integral to any low-carbon development trajectory.
Answer:
Regions with a higher amount of rainfall are those of equatorial regions and those of the low rainfall are polar areas.
Explanation:
- The regions in the tropics and the subtropics receive a significant amount of rainfall while the place at the places receives only 10 inches f rainfall and regions are dry annually with rain occurring only in summer.
- The tropical areas are those that surround the earth equator and are found 23 degrees north and south. As the sun is usually in direct contact and this region comprise of 40% of the surface area and 35% of the earth's landmass. And remains warm to hot and moist year-round.
- These regions are characterized by wet season and thus have most of the cyclonic activity through the year and this impacts the global distribution of water as the movement of the warm and cold water stakes form these regions, along with the variation in salinity.
Answer:
The Sun
Explanation:
The sun does not move or rotate and hence cannot retrograde, however the other planets rotate. Some astronomers define retrograde motion as the Westward movement of the planets relative to the sun, based on this definition, all the planets experience retrograde movement. On the other hand, while some astronomers define retrograde motion as the movement that the other planets make when earth passes them while orbiting the sun. Based on this second classification, Mercury and Venus do not retrograde relative to the earth because they move faster than the earth.
