Why are the barrier islands important?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago

These islands are critical to protecting coastal communities and ecosystems from extreme weather. Beach dunes and grasses on barrier islands absorb wave energy before the wave hits the mainland. This generally means smaller storm surge and less flooding on the coast.

1. How is government power and authority divided between Australia’s federal government and Australia’s states and territories?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Authority is continually changing based on who is at the head of government is the answer.

Explanation:

The Australians government promotes the federal government through parliament provisions and other judicature, which are also called the government branches. However, the central features of the ruling system are not indicated in the constitution. This, therefore, implies it is the responsibility of the government towards parliament.

This remains a central feature of the Westminster style of ruling. It is different from other systems that have various executive that answers directly to the legislature.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of literature
Artist 52 [7]
Proponents of literature-based instruction usually focus on the importance of using authentic literature, rather than the "canned" variety found in basal textbooks and other programs. Books that are written to teach children to read tend to be boring, contrived and less vibrant than authentic literature. Authentic literature can also open doors for students by introducing them to different cultures, social structures and story lines.

Advantage: Higher Level Thinking Skills

Many teachers choose literature-based instruction because they feel that it addresses higher level thinking skills than basal level instruction. Rather than forcing children to give pat answers to basic questions about a story, literature-based instruction encourages children to think deeply and share their thoughts about a story. Reading authentic literature can improve vocabulary, reading comprehension, reading ability and language growth. In addition, literature-based instruction is much more child-centered, with the teacher as the facilitator or coach, rather than "the sage on the stage."

Disadvantage: Teacher's Perspective

From the teacher's perspective, teaching using a literature-based approach can be more difficult than using other approaches. First-time teachers may find it especially challenging, since literature-based approaches inherently have less structure than many other approaches. Teachers also may struggle with effectively assessing a child's progress. Because literature-based instruction is less widely used than other forms of instruction, teachers often spend hours choosing literature selections, as well as developing activities and evaluations that reflect the content.

Disadvantage: Scope and Sequence

Finding appropriate literature selections that address the skills that students need to learn can be challenging, and finding selections that actually build from one year to the next is virtually impossible. This means that using literature-based instruction may prevent students from building their skills in a systematic fashion, and they may miss out on some skills entirely. Especially as students advance to the next grade, they will feel a lack of continuity, which can prevent them from growing as readers, writers and thinkers.

What is one conflict that has taken pleace in the last 30 years in east africa
marusya05 [52]

Eritrean - Ethiopian War  

Eritrea x Ethiopia conflict has taken place in the last 20 years in East Africa. It started in May 1998 and "ended" in June 2000, but only in 2018 the Peace Agreement was officially signed. A few years before this conflict, both countries had been fighting a long 30 years war where Eritrea demanded Independence from Ethiopia. However, following peaceful separation in 1993, both countries disagreed over trade, territory and currency issues which led to the second conflict (Eritrean-Ethiopian War).
