What causes the Subsistence farmers of Latin America to use Slash and Burn Agriculture?

What caused the Inca to create Terraces?

What caused the Aztec to create Chinampas?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The slash and burn agriculture is used because of lack of development and bad treatement of the soil.

The Incan terraces were created so that the steep slopes can be used for agriculture.

The Aztec chinampas were created to maximize production by using the surface of the water as a basis because of the huge demand and limited resources.

Explanation:

In multiple parts of Latin America, the people use slash and burn techniques for agriculture. This technique consists of cutting down and burning the vegetation in order to open up space for agriculture. This is done in countries that are not well developed, so nature is not taken into consideration, nor the agricultural land is treated properly so it quickly becomes useless.

The Incas were people with big ingenuity, and this was also seen in their agricultural practices. They predominantly lived in high mountainous areas with very steep slopes, but that didn't stop. In order to make use of the terrain and satisfy the demand for food, the Incas carved the steep slopes horizontally and made terraces, on which they were able to produce a lot of food.

The Aztecs lived in an area that had a very high population density, so the demand for food was very big, but the land and fertile soil were limited. In order to solve the problem, they came up with the chinampas. The chinampas were basically made up of floating gardens, small and easy, filled with fertile soil, and having access to water all the time because they were on the surface of a lake. The production levels were very high with this technique.

Explanation:

On this map, we have the island of Trinidad, the one that makes up most of the territory of the nation of Trinidad and Tobago. Despite not being a large island, it has multiple different landforms that give it an interesting landscape, but also a landscape that is very useful for the development of the nation.

There are a couple of very good bays in the country, both being located in the eastern part, those two being the Mayaro Bay and Cocos Bay, excellent for seaports. The western side is dominated by the Gulf of Paria, while the southern one has the Columbus Canal that separates the island from mainland South America. There are several points on the island, with the one on its southeastern side being the Galeota Point. Despite being a small island, the relief is varied. The set of hills on the southern part are the Trinity hills, while the ones that stick out in the central part of the island are the Montserrat Hills.

It forced the Aborigines back to Southeast Asia.

Answers

Answer:   It caused tremendous losses.

The arrival of European immigrants on the territory of Australia significantly reduced the population of Aborigines. English soldiers killed many, but later also due to poor living conditions. For example, the number of Tasmanian Aborigines was reduced from 5,000 to 300 from 1803 to 1833. Aborigines are no exception. Colonization has always resulted in a reduction in the indigenous population.

The presence of American fast food restaurants in Russia offers evidence that the former Soviet Union is?
The answer is: influenced by the consumer culture of the
West.

Answers

Answer:

The former Soviet Union is influenced by the consumer culture of the West.

Explanation:

The former Soviet Union was a communist country that had a command economy. This type of economy meant that the economy is closed to the world and people had no choice when it came to consumption, but only what the government decided they will consume. With the fall of the Soviet Union, this changed, at least in most parts.

Most of the countries that emerged from the Soviet Union have transformed or are still transitioning toward open market economies. This opened up the economies which resulted in a lot of foreign investments, fascilities, and brands coming to these markets. Being totally restricted until then, when people suddenly had an opportunity to choose what they want to buy and consume, they jumped on it. Very soon a consumer culture, typical for the West has developed. This can not be said about the likes of Belarus, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan though, as they are still closed to the world.

What are some of the potential long-term effects of the remittances by North African migrants?

Answers

Answer:

The long-term effects of the remittances by North African migrants will be damaging to the economy of the country in which they work.

Explanation:

Europe, especially its western and northern parts, have more and more migrants as the decades go by. One of the regions from where there is a very big percentage of migrants in North Africa, with the majority of them being economic migrants. Very often, the migrants from this region will be men without their families, working in a European country but sending the money back in their countries to their families.

This type of economic activity by the migrants is called remittance. While the intentions of the migrants are good as they want to support their families back in their native country, it is not a process that is good for the economy of the host country. With millions of people engaging in such activity, the European economies come in a situation where North African migrants take money out of their economy and send that money in another country's economy, thus making it harder and harder to balance things, and this eventually will lead to economic collapse if it is not resolved on time.

Write a paragraph describing the location of the major population centers in Egypt. Make note of their proximity to physical features or other natural resources. What characteristics do these locations have in common?

Answers

Answer:

Egypt's population is highly concentrated along the Mediterranean coastline and along the Nile River.

Explanation:

Egypt is a country that has a relatively high population which is also constantly growing. When looking at the dispersal of the population in the country it is very easy to notice that it is highly concentrated in two areas while the rest of the country has very little to no population. The two areas where almost all of the population is concentrated are the Mediterranean coastline and the Nile River Valley.

The reason why the population is concentrated in these two areas is that these are the only two areas that actually provide suitable living conditions. The Mediterranean coastline has the best climate conditions in the country and the access to the sea and closeness of large economies nearby makes it easier for people to be provided with what they need. The Nile River is the only river in Egypt and its valley is the only one that provides fertile soil for agriculture, so naturally, people have settled here because it is the only area that enables the production of food and has access to water. The rest of the country is a very hot and very dry desert without water sources.

plz who can say the story of paul
not more than 250 words​

Answers

Answer:

i can

Explanation:

There is much we can learn from the life of the apostle Paul. Far from ordinary, Paul was given the opportunity to do extraordinary things for the kingdom of God. The story of Paul is a story of redemption in Jesus Christ and a testimony that no one is beyond the saving grace of the Lord. However, to gain the full measure of the man, we must examine his dark side and what he symbolized before becoming “the Apostle of Grace.” Paul’s early life was marked by religious zeal, brutal violence, and the relentless persecution of the early church. Fortunately, the later years of Paul’s life show a marked difference as he lived his life for Christ and for the advancement of His kingdom.
