The answer is rainforests. The destruction of rainforests can lead to global warming due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This is because rainforests are major carbon sinks because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One of the major rainforests that are facing the threat of human activities is the Amazon and Congo forests.
The answer is south america’s location atop the Nazca and South American plates of the circum-pacific belt. The circum-pacific belt is also known as the ‘ring of fire’ because there is a subduction zone in the region. The Cocos plate is subducting under the Caribbean Plate. This creates friction between the two plates with occasional release of high amounts of energies when a stuck region gets unstuck abruptly. This region accounts for approximately 90% of the world’s earthquakes.
Answer:
An official alternate route is a special route in the United States that provides an alternate alignment for a highway. They are loop roads and found in many road systems in the United States including the U.S. Highway system and various state and county route systems.

Answer:
Explanation:
Rivers have three sections or courses: the upper course, middle course and lower course. The upper course of a river typically sees much erosion of bedrock in order to achieve the equilibrium mentioned above.
The upper course is also at the highest altitude as this is where the headwaters of the river originate. Rivers in the upper course erode down vertically which often creates a steep channel profile in what becomes the river valley.
The middle course sees a river at a slightly lower altitude than the upper course, but is still maintains a sense of trying to acquire equilibrium in flow and shape. The discharge and velocity of the river still allows the water to erode the banks and chart a course of least resistance through lateral erosion.
The lower course is unique as this is the stage in which a river has reached sea level. Here we find features not found in the middle and upper courses like floodplains and river deltas that have been formed by the sediment deposits of rocks and dirt gathered from upstream.
Answer:
4in
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Radius of cylinder = 6in
Volume = 144πin³
Unknown:
Height of the cylinder = ?
Solution:
The volume of a cylinder is the product of its base area and height;
Volume of cylinder = base area x height
The unknown parameter is the height and substitute for the parameters given;
144π = π x 6² x h
144π = 36πh
Divide through by 36π and find h;
h = 4in
