Geography

They are good for certain crops like wheat, corn,barley,rye because these crops are only profitable grown in large quantities and farms on the prairies can cover thousands of acres. And the crops don't have to compete with trees.

Prairie grasslands provide inexpensive feed for beef cattle and sheep herds .

Some prairie farmers have so many acres planted that they use five or six or more big combine harvesting machines.

Large amounts of grain can be shipped overland most economically to flour mills, cereal factories, breweries, etc. by rail and prairie trains can be very long since they don't have to go up and down long inclines.

The largest city in Kazakhstan is Almaty, with a population of over 1.9 million people. It is the cultural and financial center of the country, located in the southeastern part of Kazakhstan.

It couldn't have been minimised that much. The problems with tsunamis is that we are still unable to predict them. Things such as high walls and stronger buildings along with better awareness from the people may have minimised the impact. Also pipelines can be fitted with smartmeters which shut of gas and whatever else when they are broken therefore preventing fires, though this wasn't a major issue for the 2004 tsunami.

Examples of the negative effects on communities following the loss of jobs where local employers go out of business or withdraw from the area can be seen in the Welsh mining villages which were decimated following the coal pit closures from the 1980's onwards. As the closures progressed, there was little or no alternative employment available locally and the increase in such things as family break ups, domestic violence, alcoholism and drug abuse were all too clear to see. When a community loses its heart, it becomes a very different place to live in and the traditional route of grandfather working in the mines, with his son and then his grandson following in this tradition is broken leaving high youth unemployment. The young leave the villages in search of work in towns and cities with the break in the traditional family life leading to the villages having mostly older people living there. Add to this the fact that often, pit workers suffered from lung problems due to their working conditions and you have a recipe for disaster which has never really been addressed by Governments.

We know that volcanoes are formed by the sudden release of magma( later lava) from the Earth's mantle through weak spots on the Earth's crust. We also know that the crust floats atop the boiling mantle, slowly moving in one direction. However these magma pressure cauldrons beneath the Earth's crust, which cause the volcanic eruptions, are non-mobile or minuscule in movement at most and for obvious reasons are called hot spots. Therefore as the crust floats atop the mantle the hot spots pierce through the crust creating a chain of volcanoes.

The Brundtland Commission proposed sustainable development as an approach that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It emphasized the interconnectedness of economic, social, and environmental aspects in decision-making processes to achieve long-term global sustainability.

Water pollution can be cleaned up by a variety of actors including government agencies, environmental organizations, and private companies. Efforts to clean up water pollution can involve implementing pollution prevention measures, using filtration systems, enacting regulations, and promoting public awareness and education about responsible water use. It is often a collective effort involving multiple stakeholders working together to improve water quality.

A line of latitude, that is a line drawn (on maps and globes) that refers to a constant distance from the equator. therefore a "parallel" to the equator. The central and western border between the US and Canada is the 49th parallel.

The three largest states in the United States by land area are Alaska, Texas, and California. Alaska is the largest state with a land area of over 663,000 square miles, followed by Texas with over 268,000 square miles, and California with over 163,000 square miles.

It is subjective and open to interpretation as to who the smartest person in Ethiopia is. Intelligence can be measured in various ways, such as academic achievements, problem-solving abilities, creativity, and more. Ethiopia has many talented individuals across various fields who could be considered highly intelligent.

No. In general it is repellent, hydrophobic, or simply impermeable.

No, they are more vulnerable. A tsunami is a big wave. steep rocky shores will resist the impact of a tsunami much better than a gradually sloping shore which will allow the wave to penetrate farther inland.

periphery: poor, less educated, usually ruled (ex: African countries, most Asian countries, most south American countries)

core: rich, powerful, more education, better education, often ruler. (ex: US, Japan, Western Europe & Australia)

The direct opposite or antipodal point of New Jersey on Earth is in the southern Indian Ocean, near the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. This point is approximately at latitude -40.0 and longitude 140.0.

A warm front is typically associated with a low-pressure system. As the warm air mass moves into an area previously occupied by a cold air mass, it rides up over the cooler air, producing clouds and precipitation.

Transnational Corporations (TNCs) often manufacture products in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) due to lower labor costs, relaxed regulations, and access to raw materials. This helps TNCs reduce production expenses and increase profit margins. Additionally, LEDCs often offer tax incentives and subsidies to attract foreign investment and encourage economic growth.

Non-dormant refers to something that is active, operating, or in use. For example, non-dormant accounts are ones that are currently being used or accessed. It is the opposite of dormant, which means inactive or not in use.

The main geographical feature of the middle and lower Chang Jiang (Yangtze) basins is the Chang Jiang River itself. The river is the longest in Asia and the third longest in the world, flowing from the Tibetan Plateau through central China and into the East China Sea. The basin is characterized by fertile plains, rolling hills, and numerous lakes and tributaries.

Omaha, Nebraska covers an area of approximately 133.41 square miles, which is equivalent to about 85,382 acres.

An enzyme called helicase is responsible for unwinding and separating the double helix structure of DNA during replication. Helicase works by breaking the hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands together, allowing the DNA to be replicated.

A geographer would use sonar to map the ocean floor topography, study underwater features like trenches or ridges, and create detailed 3D images of submerged landscapes. Sonar is a useful tool for geographers to understand the underwater environment and its characteristics.

Available power refers to the amount of electrical power that is currently ready to be used or drawn from a power source, such as a generator or utility grid. It can be measured in units such as watts (W) or kilowatts (kW), and represents the capacity for performing work or operating electrical devices.
