Answer:

Oil spills damage soil, this causes the soil to become unusable and the crops growing to subside. Oil also causes water pollution because the oil rises to the top and coats the top of the water causing it to be very hard to get out of. Oil spills also damage nesting grounds, potentially causing serious long-term effects on entire species. ... By coating feathers, oil not only makes flying impossible but also destroys birds' natural waterproofing and insulation, leaving them vulnerable to hypothermia or overheating.

Which of the following hazards would you expect to see at a CONVERGENT plate boundary associated with a continent-continent COLL
mixer [17]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The sharing of a convergent plate boundary between two continental plates results in the formation of a sandwich pattern, where the rocks at the edges of both the plates are crushed and crumbled and folded. Here the magma beneath the plates cannot rise up to the surface due to its high thickness, so it does not lead to the formation of volcanoes. For example, the Himalaya.

There is the possibility of occurring frequent landslides at the higher elevated mountainous areas due to the steeper slope of the mountains. It can also lead to the occurrence of flood, as there is the presence of plateaus that are formed at the top of the mountains that has the ability to trap water within them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

To kill the white pine blister, the forestry department decided to apply pesticide to the trees. They must directly apply the se
Stels [109]

The Forestry Department is using a <u>chemical</u> control method. This involves using a <u>foliar spray </u>method, in which department personnel will spray pesticide directly on the trees’ leaves.

Explanation:

The chemical control method of pesticide control involves spraying chemical pesticides directly on leaves, shoots or roots of the plants. These chemicals are toxic to the pests only and the pests get retracted from the plants because of the pesticides applied.

A selective pesticide application is done to limit application to a target harmful pest which kills only that and does not harm the other useful or harmless species which thrives on the plants.

White pine blister causes rust of the branches and leaves of the pine trees. Hence, a foliar spray of the pesticide is done to control its spread.

Which of the following concepts explains the decision to re-locate market-oriented factories in the United States from the Midwe
slava [35]

Answer: A. Comparative advantage, because products can be made more efficiently in the southern United States and Mexico. Operating costs and wages are lower, and the manufactured products are easily transported to major United States markets.

Explanation: Comparative advantage of a location is the ability to produce a good at lower cost than elsewhere. Lower wages, as well as lower operating costs in Mexico and Southern states achieve this comparative advantage by reducing total cost. Their locations are still quite close to the Midwest and North east, in contrast with popular outsourcing locations such as China. It therefore makes sense to relocate factories to these locations.
