Answer:
B. The Channel Tunnel connecting the United Kingdom and France reduced travel time between these nations
E. Land has been cleared to make room for France's famous vineyards
F. A highway through Mount Blanc connects Italy and France
Explanation:
One of the five themes of geography is the human-environmental interaction. The human-environmental interaction basically means that the humans and the environment interact with each other and affect each other, sometimes in positive manner, sometimes in negative manner. There are many examples for this geographic theme across the globe.
The Channel Tunnel between the UK and France is an underwater tunnel. Its purpose is to make the traveling easier and faster between the two nations. It has been built in the sea waters, and fortunately it is not having any negative impacts on the environment.
France is one of the biggest producers of vine in the world. In order to have the amount of grapes needed for France to produce lot of vine it needs lot of agricultural land. This has been accomplished by clearing the land from the wild vegetation over time. While this has had a very positive impact on the economy of France, it has had very negative effect on the wildlife as it has totally ruined the habitat for lot of species.
Italy and France are separated by a massive mountain range, the Alps. The Alps are very large and very high, but nonetheless the humans managed to find ways to build highways through them despite all the difficulties. The highways are state of art through the Alps, and they are very useful for the countries in the region as these highways connect them, and not making them isolted. It has not been so great for the environment though, as lot of changes have been done to the mountain range, and every day there's thousands of animals that die on the highways.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The Cordilleras have one major factor that distinguishes them from the other mountain ranges, the three phases of its orogeny. Unlike most of the mountains in the world that have been created by a single orogenic process, that is not the case with the Cordilleras. There have been three consecutive orogenies, the Nevadan, Sevier, and Laramide orogenic process that created the Cordilleras, thus making them a unique mountain range.
Answer: True
Explanation:
The ratio of the map distance to ground distance usually involves the use of inverse relationship between the extent of coverage of the entire map and the amount of detail visible. And this relationship is always written as 1/x or 1:x.
Where the numerator represents the map distance which always equals 1 and the denominator represents the ground distance which has similar units as the numerator.
The answer is 3%
Explanation:
3% of the earth's water is fresh. 2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost. 0.5% of the earth's water is available fresh water.
6x+4y=13
-(3x+4y=8.5)
-------------------
3x=4.5 =x=4.5/3=1.5
It will be 1.5
