Explanation:

When pollution was beginning to be talked about it was recognized as a huge threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources. However, the long-term effects from pollution seems to be have forgotten.

Most people seem to only talk about air pollution and relate it to the exhaust from vehicles. However, it is actually much bigger than that. Here are 5 kinds of environmental pollution caused by waste that you should know:

Air Pollution

Air pollution is the contamination of air by smoke particles and harmful gases. They are mainly oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur. Some examples of air pollution include:

The burning of fossil fuels like oil, gas or coal

The exhaust fumes from your vehicles

The mismanagement of landfill waste caused by garbage pollution

The harmful fragrance or off-gasing from plastic production, paints and so on

Nuclear accidents or radiation spills

They are all caused by waste and the only cure is through growing forests, and just a lot of trees everywhere!

Land Pollution

This kind of pollution is actually the degradation (becoming unusable) of Earth’s surface . There are 2 causes, and guess what, a pile of waste is one of them. Land pollution is mainly caused by improper disposal of waste and the misuse of resources. Here are some examples of land pollution:

Litter on every corner or on the side of the road

Oil spills

Illegal dumping in natural habitats

Debris or damage caused from unsustainable logging practices

Pesticides and other farming chemicals

Nuclear accidents or radiation spills

Because of land pollution we will likely lose the natural habitats of animals, especially the endangered ones like orangutans and tigers!

Garbage Pollution

It is caused by the mismanagement of solid waste from human & their activities, waste collectors and waste disposal contractors. The effects of this type of pollution is the spread of harmful bacteria in the surroundings, as well as obnoxious odors which will also end up as air pollution.

The water will also get contaminated, which will transmit parasites and bacteria to humans.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! Valleys cut by rivers are "V" shaped. True False

victus00 [196]

V-shaped valleys and river plain valleys are formed by flowing water. ... They are created by fast flowing rivers with steep gradients. As rivers flow downhill quickly, they remove more sediment from the bottom of the stream channel than from the sides. This process is called down cutting.

What materials are used in the creation of artwork and other handcrafted items in African societies, and how is the work divided

MArishka [77]

Traditionally, a great diversity of materials have been used in the creation of African art, mostly of natural origin. Wood is the most frequent, and unusual stone. For the creation of sculptures, brass and bronze were used, while iron and iron were used for the manufacture of tools and weapons. TEXTILES Textiles, in addition to covering the body, are a symbol of social, economic or ritual prestige. The fabrics are usually made by men, who use vegetable fibers (linen, jute or raffia), cotton, silk and wool. Instead, women are responsible for decorating through embroidery or applications.

Symbol is social distinction are also bracelets, necklaces, anklets or belts. Made with glass beads, shells, feathers, mollusks ...

CLAY. Older material, known since the 9th century B.C. The land is collected on the banks of the rivers and for its modeling the lathe is not used, the pieces are made by hand. The most common technique is that of ‘churros’; overlay of long clay cylinders that will later be decorated with incisions, embossed motifs or color application with vegetable and mineral pigments. After days of drying, the objects are cooked in outdoor pits.

Do you think it makes a difference if a continent is at the “top” or “bottom” of the map? Does it matter if a continent is large

brilliants [131]

Answer:

In my opinion.

1. No, there's no difference if a continent is at top or bottom of a map because the world is round so you can find that continent on both top and bottom of the map, for example like Antarctica in the Globe.

2. Yes size of every continent is very important so that you can differ them and identify their own characteristics and geographical setting.

3. In classroom, globe is better so kids can easily undertand Earth's geography, example, they will know that Earth is round and East and west, south and north were connected to each other.

In media like news reporting or weather forecast, it's better to use map, it has advantage to those watching amd can easily understand.

BRAINLIEST PLEASE ❤

GOOD LUCK
