Answer:

Ture

Explanation:

  • 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.

Which of the following statements best characterizes how developed and developing countries impact the environment?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Both developed and developing countries have had significant negative impacts on the environment.

Explanation:

The environment has been very badly affected by human activity. The negative effect has been present for a very long time, progressively becoming more and more serious, but since the start of the Industrial Revolution it has exponentially increased and the effects have been horrific. While there are differences between the impact of developed and developing countries, the fact is that both have had significant negative impacts.

The now developed countries were actually the first ones to start with massive impact on the environment, which was a result of the usage of fossil fuels, rapid economic growth, and constantly growing demand for natural resources. The developing countries have started off later with their massive impact, but it has had the same results. While the developed countries are turning a page and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, that is not the case with the developing countries that try to become developed. To put it simply, The forests that were destroyed in the UK several hundred years ago are not getting back, and the forests that were recently destroyed and still are getting destroyed in Indonesia will not just come back, at least not with the current trends.
