Read the following quote from The Nature Conservancy, “The 3 billion people who live in poverty around the world will be hardest
enyata [817]

Answer:

The poor people

Explanation:

The poor people always the ones that suffer the most when there are negative changes. They are not financially capable to avoid the problems that come upon them, and plus they are overly dependent on the nature for their survival. These people can not afford or do not have healthcare that is eligible, so if there is a pandemic they will be the first ones affected, and by far the most affected. They depend mostly on agriculture for their survival, and it is agriculture in more primitive manner, which is the one that suffers the most from the climate changes and the natural disasters. If the crops fail dramatically only one year, it will have huge effects, if that happens several years in a row, it can be one of the biggest, if not the biggest humanitarian crises in the world.

Which mountain’s name translates to shining mountain?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Kilimanjaro

Explanation:

The name of Africa's tallest peak (19,341 feet above sea level) comes from two local languages: Swahili and Chagga. When combined, the words translate to "Shining Mountain" or "White Mountain." Alternate names given to Kilimanjaro throughout history translate to "Mountain Where Birds Cannot Fly" and "Mountain of Silver Moons." The Chagga people believe that a spirit lives atop the peak and will cause sickness to some who climb. Anthropologists think this is likely their method for explaining altitude sickness, caused by attempting to climb Kilimanjaro too quickly.

Match the water cycle element in column 1 with the characteristics in column 2.
hjlf

Answer:

Oceans = > 97 percent of Earth's water.

Glaciers = > 70% of Earth's freshwater

River = > Powered by gravity

Groundwater = > 100 times more water than all rivers and lakes

97% of the water on Earth is not drinkable as it is salt-water in oceans.

Of the 3% that is freshwater, Glaciers make up about 70% which means that we don't have access to a significant amount of freshwater either.

Of the available freshwater to us, groundwater comprises 98% which enables it to be 100 times more than all rivers and lakes.

Rivers are powered by gravity in that they flow from areas of higher elevation to areas of lower elevation as gravity pulls it downwards.
