Africa has a large quantity of natural resources, including diamonds, sugar, salt, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, petroleum and cocoa beans, but also woods and tropical fruits. Having a low human density, for a long period of time Africa has been colonized by more dynamic groups, exploiting African resources. Some economists[1] have talked about the 'scourge of raw materials', large quantities of rare raw materials putting Africa under heavy pressures and tensions, leading to wars and slow development. Despite these abundance of natural resources, claims suggest that many Western nations like the United States, Canada, France and the United Kingdom as well as emerging economic powerhouses like China often exploit Africa's natural resources today, causing most of the value and money from the natural resources to go to the West and East Asia rather than Africa, further causing the poverty in Africa.[2]

African oil takes growing importance, mainly after the 2014 oil crisis and recent oil reserves discoveries. Sudan and Nigeria are two of the main oil producers. China owns 40% of Congo's oil production. Oil is provided by both continental and offshore productions. Sudan's oil exports in 2010 are estimated by the United States Department of State at $9 billion with United States dollars.[3]

Five countries dominate Africa's upstream oil production. Together they account for 85% of the continent's oil production and are, in order of decreasing output, Nigeria, Libya, Algeria, Egypt and Angola. Other oil producing countries are Gabon, Congo, Cameroon, Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Côte d'Ivoire. Exploration is taking place in a number of other countries that aim to increase their output or become first time producers. Included in this list are Chad, Sudan, Namibia, South Africa and Madagascar while Mozambique and Tanzania are potential oil producers.

Conclusion about the importance of the atmosphere​
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

i hope it's help you☺

Explanation:

Life on Earth would not be possible without our air. Our air (the atmosphere) provides us with oxygen to breathe and carbon dioxide for plants to live. But the atmosphere does a lot more than provide air for living organisms. The atmosphere also helps to regulate Earth's temperature.

Which best describes the very next phase in our sun's life cycle?
Maslowich

Answer:

D. it will expand and become a red giant.

Explanation:

In the main phase of any star's life, hydrogen is being fused into helium inside the core. This phase takes up 90% of the star's life span, and this is the phase the sun is at now. The next phase is where it turns into a red giant. Once the hydrogen has completely turned into helium, the inert helium ash collapses on itself. Which in turn causes the core to get denser and heat up, which also expands its size. It appears red because outer surface is a lower temperature, that makes it appear red (hence the name "Red Giant")
