not sure if this helps but I hope it does
sorry its so long
To date erosion scientists have failed to address — or have addressed inadequately — some of the ‘big questions’ of our discipline. For example, where is erosion occurring? Why is it happening, and who is to blame? How serious is it? Who does it affect? What should be the response? Can we prevent it? What are the costs of erosion? Our inability or reluctance to answer such questions damages our credibility and is based on weaknesses in commonly-used approaches and the spatial and temporal scales at which much research is carried out. We have difficulty in the recognition, description and quantification of erosion, and limited information on the magnitude and frequency of events that cause erosion. In particular there has been a neglect of extreme events which are known to contribute substantially to total erosion. The inadequacy and frequent misuse of existing data leaves us open to the charge of exaggeration of the erosion problem (a la Lomborg).
Models need to be developed for many purposes and at many scales. Existing models have proved to be of limited value, in the real as opposed to the academic world, both because of problems with the reliability of their results, and difficulties (with associated costs) of acquiring suitable data. However, there are some positive signs: models are now being developed for purposes including addressing questions of off-site impacts and land-use policy. Cheap, reliable and technically simple methods of erosion assessment at the field scale are needed. At the global scale, an up-date of GLASOD based on a scientific approach is urgent so that we are at least able to identify erosion ‘hotspots’.
In terms of explanation of erosion, the greatest need is for a full recognition of the importance of socio-economic drivers. The accession of new countries to the EU with different economic and land-use histories emphasises this need. Too often we have left people, especially the farmers, out of the picture. Our approach could be characterised as ‘data-rich and people-poor’.
Answer: D) groupthink
Explanation:
Groupthink refers to a situation in which a group of people come together and make decision without thinking of the effect or outcome. People in the group collectively reach general agreement by giving optimum importance to the opinion and view of the group instead of individual’s opinion and view. It usually happens when groups have limited time to make decision and as a result they resolve to general opinion of the group. Thus, this is done in order to keep the unity and peace of the group.

In the given situation, Adam’s claim is not valid. The apartment complex is not violating his constitutional rights as constitutional protections do not extend to privately-owned apartment complexes.
The Federal Fair Housing Acts (42 U.S. Code § § 3601–3619) forbid discrimination on the basis of race or color, faith, ethnic origin, sex, familial situation (having children and pregnancy), mental and physical disability.
Most of the states in the US don’t have any legal provisions, which protect people from discrimination on the basis of their marital status. So, in current situation, the landlord may legally ask questions about his relationship and may refuse to rent him the apartment.
Answer:
small states and large states
Explanation:
New Jersey wanted equal amounts (ended up as Senate), but Virginia wanted population-based representation (ended up as House). Connecticut or Great Compromise came up with the United States' current style of Congressional government, which incorporates elements from both plans. :)
