The map shows a top view of the Mississippi River. The gap between lines 1 and 2 shows how much Saint Anthony Falls receded betw

een 1680 and 1766. The gap between lines 3 and 4 shows how much the falls receded between 1856 and 1876. At what rate (on average) did the falls recede during each of these time spans? Express your answer in units of feet per year. Did the rate increase or decrease from one time span to the next? Hint: Determine how many years passed between lines 1 and 2 and between lines 3 and 4 to help you find your answers.

Answer:

The time span between 1680 and 1766 (lines 1 and 2) is 86 years: 1766 − 1680 = 86 years. During this time, the falls receded an average of 5.8 feet per year: 500 feet ÷ 86 years ≈ 5.8 feet per year.

The time span between 1856 and 1876 (lines 3 and 4) is 20 years: 1876 − 1856 = 20 years. During this time, the falls receded an average of 25 feet per year: 500 feet ÷ 20 years = 25 feet per year.

According to the principle of self-determination, what is the only legitimate basis for the formation of a state? A. the nation
Lena [83]

The only legitimate basis for the formation of a state is the nation.

Explanation:

The formation of a state can be an easy or a very complicated process. Also, it can be done in a peaceful manner, or through usage of violence and military action. The states have been formed in many different ways over the course of the history. The principle of self-determination though states that the only legitimate basis for the formation of a state is the nation.

  • This principle seems good and legit, but in practice has turned out to be very problematic.
  • Numerous states have been formed without really having a nation, but more a mixture of different people and cultures stuffed together without even asking them for it.
  • There a re lot of nations around the world that do not have states, or rather are not allowed to have states, such as the Basques, Catalans, Kurdish etc.
  • Some states have been formed because of the interest of other states, like the example of Kosovo in the Balkans.

What are the characteristics of the Congo River Basin ecosystem? Write a paragraph of at least 5 sentences, and be sure to give
pentagon [3]

Rainforest of the Congo Basin share many characteristics with the Amazon rainforest and other tropical forests worldwide: high diversity, dense vegetation, and multiple layers of forest structure. The forest canopy is usually about 30 meters tall, with emergent trees such as the great maobi reaching up to 50-60 meters. The most humid, western portions of the Congo basin forests remain evergreen throughout the year, while interior forests are semi-deciduous, and many species drop leaves for short periods of time. Peripheral forests of the Congo basin with less precipitation become even more deciduous, although trees usually grow foliage on some branches before other branches lose their leaves.

Forests of the Congo Basin are characterized by fewer species of trees than the Amazon rainforest. In the interior of the Congo, forests are dominated by heavy seeded, shade tolerant trees of the Caesalpinoid subfamily of the legume family, such as Julbernardia and Cynometra species. Other areas of mature forest include the monodominant stands of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei, also a member of the legume family. Heavy seeded and shade tolerant trees such as these often have greater success seeding and surviving in the shade of the mature forest. In open, more disturbed habitats of secondary forest however, sun loving, light seeded trees dominate, such as Entandrophragma and Khaya species, both members of the African mahogany group, as well as species of Albizia. In younger secondary forests, early pioneers such as Musanga cecropiodes are more common.

In mature forest, understory plants are dominanted by shade tolerant families such as Maranthaceae and Zingiberaceae. Although not as well documented as in the Amazon, studies have found lianas to be a significant component of forest structure and diversity, comprising approximately 25% of the total diversity of woody species. In one study of the Ituri forest in northeastern DRC, liana diversity is dominated by Manniophyton fulvum (Euphorbiaceae). Epiphytes such as orchids and mosses are also much less common in the Congo forest as compared to the Amazon rainforest, likely due to the dry climatic history of the Congo Basin. Diverse epiphyte families of the Neotropics such as the cactus and the bromeliads are largely absent from central Africa, but at least 2,400 species of orchids are still present throughout the humid forests of Africa. Other native herbaceous plants include numerous species of Begonia and Impatiens.
