Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A great way to see the direction a river runs is to see the two endpoints of that river. Whichever one is higher will most likely determine the direction the river flows just due to gravity. If a river starts in a mountain and ends in a lake that is north of the mountain, you can expect that the river flows north and not south just due to gravity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>MISSOURI RIVER</u>

We see that the West end this river is in the Rocky Mountain area and the other end is in the plains/plateau area. The Rocky Mountains are much higher than plains, so that means that that is where the river starts, and it will be flowing away from that. We see that the direction it goes is generally East.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>COLORADO RIVER</u>

The West End of this river is in the plateaus and highlands while the other is in the Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains, the high point, at the East end of the river, so it is going to be flowing West due to gravity.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>RIO GRANDE</u>

This river also starts in the Rocky Mountains and appears to flow down into the highlands and plains. Since the Rocky Mountains are at the North part of this river, it is going to be flowing South.

Do you think migration was a voluntary move or involuntary? Why?​
shtirl [24]

Answer:

<u>People who </u><u>flee persecution and violence</u><u> in their own country are considered asylum seekers while the people who </u><u>decide</u><u> to move to another country in order to seek employment and better life opportunities are considered migrants.</u> Migrants can be legal, moving threw documentation. Migrants are usually people with a strong resources in order to prepare their journey and arrival in the country of the destination. They save money, they gather the information about the trip and the destination and about the potential employment there, like how mast Europians or Asians come to america. They speak to friends and family at the destination who will help them upon arrival. They may speak to travel agents, potential employers at destination or middlemen of different sorts. They may try to learn the language of the destination country. In short, migrants clearly make decisions and take up the actions in order to prepare for their migration. This does not necessarily mean their migration is voluntary. The reasons for leaving their country of origin may have to do with circumstances that are beyond their the control. Migrating is not a decision taken easily, it involves high costs. They may do this to help family

In this unit, you learned how humans evolved from their earliest days to the beginning of civilizations in settled communities.
algol [13]

Answer:

 Sub-Saharan Africa is a lot like the half empty, half full glass. Although the region has many problems, it holds much hope for the future. On one hand, political and economic problems plague the region.

   The region's cities attract a high number of immigrants, increasing diversity as well as the ethnic conflict in the region. Population growth is putting a tremendous strain on the environment. Because of population growth, there are water shortages, unemployment, lack of housing, and inadequate services. On the other hand, there are still large areas of land that can be farmed to feed the population and provide crops for export.

   Governments are stabilizing, but government systems lack capacity, and representative government is increasing. Some government systems in the region are unstable. Many governments are unable to provide adequate services. Ethnic diversity and conflict continue to plague the region. On the other hand, most government systems are moving toward democratic, multiparty systems in which leaders are elected.

   Economic development is increasing, yet, there are many factors that describe the political situation that Sub-Saharan Africa is facing such as international debt, and weak government systems that hinder economic development. There are positives though. Foreign investment will aid the region's economic development, and globalization will play a role in the region's economic future. Technological advances will also expand employment opportunities. There are several methods dealing with water issues that affect the economics of the region. Water is moved from an area where it is abundant to an area experiencing a shortage, and desalinization is being implemented.

Social services are also improving. Nevertheless, there are a number of regional issues that must be addressed. Health issues in the region include malaria, schistosomiasis, and AIDS. Progress is being made, particularly in urban areas where clinics offer basic care. The status of women also varies throughout the region.
