Geography

Oliga [24]2 years ago

Answer:

It's a traditional practice and it's an economical need

Explanation:

The tavy farming is a slash and burn approach, where forest is cut to gain agricultural land to plant rice for example.  However, without trees, the land cannot be irrigated properly and that patch of land becomes useless quite rapidly.

Over the generations, that caused global devastation on this island nation.

Most people know it's wrong and it will have to end soon, by the simple fact that there won't be any trees left to cut in a generation or two.

However, tavy is deeply engrained into traditions and it's still the easiest way for farmers to earn a living to feed their families, in a country with an annual income of less than US$0.60 a day.

What are the similarities between the North-west Passage and the Khyber Pass?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Khyber Pass, Khyber also spelled Khaybar, orKhaibar, most northerly and important of the passes between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The pass connects Kābul with Peshāwar. The pass has historically been the gateway for invasions of the Indian subcontinent from the northwest. The name Khyber is also applied to the range of arid, broken hills through which the pass runs and which form the last spurs of the Spin Ghar (Safīd Kūh) Range. On either side of the connecting ridge are the sources of two small streams, the beds of which form the Khyber gorge. This narrow gorge forms the Khyber Pass; it winds between cliffs of shale and limestone, 600–1,000 feet (180–300 m) high, and enters the Khyber Hills from the Shadi Bagiār opening, a few miles beyond Jamrūd, Pak., and continues northwestward for about 33 miles (53 km). Just beyond the old Afghan fort of Haft Chāh, it opens onto the barren Lowyah Dakkah plain, which stretches to the Kābul River.

The Northwest Passage is a sea route that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. In the past, the Northwest Passage has been virtually impassable because it was covered by thick, year-round sea ice.

Highly specialized species tend to evolve on islands because of the environmental conditions and resource availability. Based on
omeli [17]

Answer:

Distance to island

Explanation:

  • As per the theory of, the island biogeography the number of the species that are found in an undisturbed island environment are determined by the immigration and extinction of species.  
  • And if an invasive species emigrated from the mainland it would likely to experience a decline due to the distance effects that islands which are isolated more is less likely to get immigrants than an island with less isolation.

Adam, who is 5'6" tall, notices his shadow on the sidewalk. If the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the sun is 6
german
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This problem can be solved using trigonomtry, assuming that the figure formed by Adam's shadow and Adam himself is a Right Triangle (as shown in the figure attached).


According to this,  the distance from the tip of the shadow to the top of Adam's head is the hypotenuse H of the triangle, and we already know Adam's height and the angle of elevation. So, the trigonometric function that best works in this case is sine:


sen(angle)=\frac{Oppositeleg}{hypotenuse}  


Where the opposite leg is the side of the triangle that is opposite to the 60\º angle.

In this especific case:


sen(60\º)=\frac{5.6feet}{H}     (1)


In order to know the value of the hypotenuse we have to find  H from equation (1):

H=\frac{5.6feet}{sen(60\º)}



H=6.4663 feet



Rounding:

H=6.46 feet>>>>>This is the distance from the tip of the shadow to the top of Adam's head
