Liberia, a very poor nation in West Africa, is relatively abundant in resources such as mahogany and rubber tree forests, iron-ore deposits, and diamonds. If Liberia is so rich in valuable resources, why is it still so impoverished?

Answers

The population of Liberia is too small to use those resources. Natural resources are not as important as other types of resources. Taxes in Liberia are too high and discourage investment.

Scientists propose placing seismic stations on the floor of the Pacific Ocean to warn threatened coastal communities on the northwestern coast of the United States of approaching tidal waves caused by earthquakes. Since forewarned communities could take steps to evacuate, many of the injuries and deaths that would otherwise occur could be avoided if the government would implement this proposal.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most important in determining whether implementing the proposal would be likely to achieve the desired result?
(A) When was the last time that the coastal communities were threatened by an approaching tidal wave?
(B) How far below sea level would the stations be located?
(C) Would there be enough time after receiving warning of an approaching tidal wave for communities to evacuate safely?
(D) How soon after a tidal wave hits land is it safe for evacuees to return to their communities?
(E) Can the stations be equipped to collect and relay information about phenomena other than tidal waves caused by earthquakes?

Answers

Answer:  JUST MAKE SURE TO CHANGE SOME WORDS AROUND SO YOU DO NOT GET IN TROUBLE GOR PLAGIARISM

(A) When was the last time that the coastal communities were threatened by an approaching tidal wave?

The last time or in other words what happened in the past is not our concern. OUT

(8) How far below sea level would the stations be located?

The station is not the point at issue: we care about of people NOT stations where they are located. OUT

(C) Would there be enough time after receiving warning of an approaching tidal wave for communities to evacuate safely?

This is our answer. People have enough time or not: yes a lots of people could be saved, otherwise a lots of people could be killed

(0) How soon after a tidal wave hits land is it safe for evacuees to return to their communities?

The return to home is not relevant. OUT

(E) Can the stations be equipped to collect and relay information about phenomena other than tidal waves caused by earthquakes?

Other than tidal or in other words something else to check by the stations is not related to our argument. OUT

Jameson lives in a city on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The temperature fluctuations are relatively small in his city because(blank)takes longer to heat up and cool down due to its high(blank) . First blank choices are: water, land, air Second blank choices are :volume, density, specific heat

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We are looking for something that takes a long time to heat up due to a certain property, therefore affecting the weather.

FIRST BLANK CHOICE

The temperature of the land is a result, of the weather, not a cause, so this is not the correct option.

The temperature of the water does not really affect the weather. If the water in your city is cold instead of hot that will not cause the weather to be much different.

However, air is what mainly causes the weather. Air pressure fluctuations can cause certain storms and air is the driving factor of weather. Therefore, the first answer is air.

SECOND BLANK CHOICE

One of the options is specific heat. The actual fill in the blank is that is is harder for the air to heat up because of _______. Putting heat in there makes no sense. It's harder for the air to heat up because of specific heat? This is not the right choice.

The volume of the air is how much space it takes up, and air is basically everywhere, so this is not the correct choice.

The last option is density, or how thick the air is, usually due to how much water there is. This makes sense because if it is very thick you have to have more heat to get through all of the density. It would take longer to warm up a car filled with 20 people than with one person. Therefore, the second option is density.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

I believe it could be (water & specific heat) let me know if this is correct pls:)

Summarize the relationship between the composition, temperature, and volatile content of magmas and effusive vs. explosive eruptions.

Answers

Answer:

The relations can be explained by the nature of eruption and lava type.

Explanation:

The volatile content of magma is made up of small amounts of gas and water that is released as pressure is removed. The magmas formed by the partial melting often have rich volatile contents. A high volatile content decreases the viscosity of magma. The eruption is going to be explosive if the magma is viscous and volatile-rich.   The effusive eruption is a type of eruption were the lava steadily flows out of the volcano on the ground, they are most common in basaltic magmas and occurs immediately. The gases are dissolved in magmas due to high pressure. While in explosive eruptions the magmas are expelled out of the volcano's most violently when pressure is suddenly lowered at the vent. They can send the dut, rocks and pyroclastic matter up to 20 km in the atmosphere at the rate of 100,000 tonnes per second.

There is a high pressure system that is located south of your planned route in the Northern Hemisphere on a west-to-east cross-country flight. To take advantage of favorable winds, you would plan your route:

- on the north side of the high pressure area

- on the south side of the high pressure area

- through the middle of the high pressure area

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

What are monsoon winds?

A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing, or strongest, winds of a region. Monsoons are seasonal winds that change the weather due to colliding high-pressure and low-pressure systems with divergent temperatures.

They correspond to the variation of wind direction as a result of the seasons. In the summer monsoon, also known as maritime monsoon, the winds travel from the Indian Ocean to the mainland. In the winter monsoon, the winds go from the Asian continent to the ocean.

Therefore, monsoon winds impacted the ease of transporting goods on Indian Ocean trade routes, making travel easier.
