For growing populations in developing countries, explain why the transition from eating grains to eating meat is challenging the
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A trend is seen in developing countries that people are transitioning from eating grains to eating meat which can be a challenge for the global agribusiness system.

This is so because due to more consumption of meat, the quantity of food or crops produced is more than needed and sell at very lower prices which affects the agribusiness system. People are finding meat as healthier (protein source) and chemical-free and consuming it for health benefits, that left the grains and crop market at a lower price.

Hence, eating meat is a challenge for the global agribusiness system.

Why do mountains form around big bend
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The bends causes the overlaying of a crustal layer upon other layer. It results the formation of mountain on the overlying layer.

Explanation:

The big bends on the earth crust are the big faults. This fault formed due to the overlaying of a layer with other layers. The overlying crustal layer has deposits of lands on it and forms big mountains. This is a continuous and slow process. Sometimes the tectonic plate movement results in a sudden rise of some lands, and this forms new tabletop land and also dome mountains. The mountains are always formed due to the fault of the crust which are the bends on the earth.  The mountains also formed due to a volcanic eruption. Such mountains are known as volcanic or igneous mountains. This is the very reason the mountains form around big bends
