Geografía de Guatemala

Spanish
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]2 years ago

Answer:

Guatemala is often pictured as hot and tropical, and in some places this is certainly the case — along the coasts and in lowland jungles, for example. However, in mountainous areas, the temperatures cool off. Elevation is the main determinant of climate and weather here. Put simply, the higher up you go, the colder it is likely to be. Precipitation is largely dependent on how close to the coast you are and what side of a mountain chain you are on.

Guatemala is bordered by both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. A string of volcanic peaks runs down the country’s center, extending east to west from El Salvador to Mexico. Near the border with El Salvador, the peaks tend to get lower in height. In total, there are 33 volcanoes, some of which are active. The Tajumulco Volcano, at 13,845 feet (4,200 m), is the highest peak in all of Central America. Many of the volcanoes, especially the ones near Guatemala City and Lake Atitlán, can be climbed.

The Sierra de los Cuchumatanes is a mountain range that extends from Mexico into Guatemala. This nonvolcanic mountain range is the highest mountain chain in Central America — its highest point is 12,588 feet (3,837 m). Another range, Sierra de Las Minas, is found in the eastern portion of Guatemala. Petén is mostly lowland areas, although there are a few smaller mountains here as well.

Temperatures in Guatemala vary largely based upon altitude. The hottest areas are near the coasts and in the lowlands. These tend to have an average annual temperature around 80°F (27°C). At elevations around 4,000–6,000 feet (1,200–1,800 m), which correspond to the mountainous valleys near Guatemala City and Antigua, the temperatures are fairly mild — year-round temperatures hover around 60–70°F (16–21°C). At higher elevations the temperature averages 40°F (4°C).

24. What are marimum sustainable yield and overfishing? What is the condition of the world's fisheries? What responses to declin
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Why is it important to know about maximum sustainable yield (MSY)?

To manage human take from the wild, one needs to know how much can be safely taken without

depleting the resource one wants to take from, and without otherwise negatively impacting the

environment. Fishing is no exception. As scientists and managers have discussed how much fish can be

safely taken out of the sea one concept has become a key tool for fisheries management: maximum

sustainable yield (MSY). In order to participate in the debate about fishing limits, one needs to have an

understanding of the basics of the MSY concept. This briefing is aiming to provide this.

Explanation:

What is MSY?

In population ecology and economics, MSY is the largest average yield (catch) that can theoretically be

taken from a species’ stock over an indefinite period under constant environmental conditions. It is

usually measured in tonnes. To have a viable and thriving fishing sector, the size of fish stocks must be

above levels where they can produce the maximum sustainable yield over an indefinite timeframe.

Delvig [45]

Answer: Mark off the number of verses, the number of stanzas, and the number of verses in each stanza. My lonely soul weeps in silence, except when my heart is united to yours in a heavenly alliance of mutual sighing and mutual love. It is the flame of my soul like aurora, shining in the sepulchral enclosure: almost extinct, invisible, but eternal ... not even death can stain it. Remember me!… Near my grave do not pass, no, without giving me your prayer; for my soul there will be no greater torture than knowing that you have forgotten my pain. Hear my last voice. It is not a crime pray for those who were. I never asked you for anything: when I expire I demand that you shed your tears on my grave.
