Briefly explain how variations in water density can cause horizontal convection currents in sea water.
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Convection currents flow due to variations in the temperature and salinity in seawater, both of which influence its density. Variations in density in different regions of the ocean will cause water to flow from less dense areas to more dense areas as water heats up and becomes less saline, producing a horizontal convection current. Vertical convection currents can arise as cooler, more saline water sinks, causing warmer, less saline water to rise.

In 2009, environmental analyst Lester R. Brown estimated that reforesting the earth and restoring the earth's degraded rangeland
fredd [130]

Considering how large of a GDP the US have, I would agree with such a move. There's several reasons why I would agree on such a move. One of them is of course the well being of the nature, as it is crucial for the survival of every living organism, including the humans. Reforestation will bring in lot of benefits that will gradually return the investment. For starters, the air quality will improve, and by doing so, the health problems among the people will reduce significantly, thus much less will be spent on healthcare. Part of the new forests can be fruit forests, which will be an enormous reserve of organic food without having to use any labor or effort in production. Also, by establishing forests, whole ecosystems will get back on the scene, so lot of useful plants can be harvested from the forests, such as herbs and mushrooms. If the US makes a deal so that it can use certain part of the benefits from the forests until it gets its enormous investment, it will be a win-win situation for everyone. In order to have the budget for the global reforestation, it would be the best to cut down on the budget for development of weapon of mass destruction and the budget for war.

Como a analise do perfil de uma populaçao pode contribuir para o planejamento governamental
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The planning of governments when it comes to running their countries is always based on demographics, and this is because the characteristics of the population are crucial for the planning and which direction it will go.

Explanation:

Every government makes plans about running the country based on the demographic characteristics of its population. The reason for this is that the characteristics of the population are crucial for developing and focusing on certain sectors or avoiding others. Each country in the world has its own unique population with unique characteristics and this brings in a lot of different policies by the different governments.

If a population is highly educated, the government can focus its planning on the territary and quaternary economic sectors, as it will primarily have a labor force that would be most efficient in these sectors. If a population is very young, uneducated, and with a low level of skills, the chances are that the government will focus the country toward agriculture and extraction of natural resources, thus the primary sector. If a population is old and it is projected to get older then the government would most probably adopt a policy to invite people from other countries to move in that will contribute to its socio-economic development.
