<span>South American countries have been attempting to mirror the free market system of the United States since around 1980 (the "Washington Consensus"). This has lead to economic stagnation in these countries. In order to boost their own economies, they are now looking at the models of more productive nations whose economies are growing very rapidly and are attempting to mirror their market systems. The main countries being scrutinized are China and India, who have nationalized many of their industries/resources. This would explain the shift.</span>
When I finished the quiz it said the answer was "This trend toward resource nationalization is indicative of the competing political alternatives vying for control across South America. Following the economic collapse in the United States and throughout “first-world” industrialized nations, leftist presidents in countries such as Venezuela and Bolivia are taking advantage of the popular discontent throughout their nations to challenge the authority of traditional ruling elites. Time will tell what this means for the oil industry and other natural resources throughout South America.

Although the leaders are promoting new measures to alleviate poverty that has not happened in great measure to date."
Answer: Bassically, certain gasses like CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) that come from stuff like burning fossil fuels and global warming, they heat up the earth, are wastes and are used as fuel.
The pressure gradient is the force that is produced due to the rotation of earth pressure cells that creates lighter air to move upwards and heavier to move downwards due to the difference in densities of air.
As the air above consists of lighter elements the oceanic air mostly consist of diatomic molecules of oxygen and nitrogen thus containing a large amount of water vapor, all these molecules have a mass that are pulled down by the gravity and this pull of gravity on columns of gas applies a force what we see an atmospheric pressure.
The gas particles and molecules of heavy and denser matter get stuck at the ground, similarly, as the air cools is descends and warm air rises. Thus upwards and downward motion of air causes convergence and divergence of molecules.
Hey Here in Brasil we have a program that involves collecting donated things like toys, clothes and non perishable goods giving the donated items to charities and every R$1000 a acre of trees is planted in the deforested parts of the Amazon I know you mentioned ‘other than planting trees’ but the process before it is beneficial not only to the people but also the environment overall Hope it helped
