Geography
1 answer:
bagirrra123 [75]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Positives -

- There becomes a higher consumption of certain foods and drinks (a boom-time for ice-cream and cold drinks)

- Domestic tourism is having a boon with "stay-cations"

- Measured industrial output rises, hence GDP rises, because of increased use of electricity

Negatives -

- Heatwaves can cause a surge of dry weather. This could lead to Droughts and could have a negative impact on locals. Crops for farmers could dry out, and there could become a lack of vegetation (for animals too).

- Higher death rate for people with certain conditions (e.g. more heart attacks, especially among-st elderly people)

- Reduced numbers for certain forms of entertainment (ie cinema etc)

Where is the lowest point on earth?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Hi there!

The lowest point on earth is the Dead Sea, which is 420 meters BELOW sea level!

Some unknown fish and animals and creatures live here, but we unfortunately are unable to discover them because if you were to dive down this deep point you'd be squished, like a bug, because of the number of gallons of water resting on top of you.

Anyway, hope this helps!

where is most of the liquid water on earth and what would have to be done so that humans could drink it?
DerKrebs [107]

Most of the liquid water on Earth is found in the oceans, in fact the percentage is so big that it comes as if almost all liquid water on our planet is in the oceans while the water from the lakes, rivers, ponds etc. is just a minor part of the whole.

The water from the oceans contains salt, thus making it a salty water and not suitable for drinking as it is naturally. For this water to be consumed and be part of the daily of the humans for drinking it needs to be desalinated. Desalination is a process that gets the salt out of the water and makes it suitable for drinking. This is not an unknown or untested process, it is something that is practiced for decades now mostly on the Arabian Peninsula where there isn't any fresh water resources.
