Why are there more earthquakes on the western side of Central America than on the eastern side?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: right under tectonic plates

Explanation: More than 80% of earthquakes occur in an area known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, a 25,000-mile horseshoe shape along the north side of the Pacific Ocean. The main reason for the difference, Ebel says, is that the California coast is right above the boundary of two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust.

Why did the cattle trail became less important in the late 1800's?

Answers

Explanation:

Cattle have been raised in Texas from the time the Spanish attempted to establish missions and domesticate the Indians, beginning in the mid-18th century.

It was primarily a small-scale industry during the Republic and early statehood. Most cattle were slaughtered for their hides and tallow, since the meat could not be preserved for long with the methods then used.

Many of the early cattle were longhorns, descendants of Spanish ranch and mission herds, with horn spreads of four to eight feet. Some had become crossed with Mexican cattle, shorter-horned and dun-colored. But there also were cattle of British origin, brought west by Anglo-American colonists from the East Coast by way of Northeast Texas.

Billy's job is 5 miles away. He can either ride the bus for $3.00 a day or drive his very old

car. Analyze the opportunity cost for Billy and society if Billy chooses to drive his car.

Answers

Answer:

Personal Opportunity Cost - Spare non drive time sacrifised

Social Opportunity Cost - Fuel efficiency (high pollution), Road Traffic (Congestion issues).

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost  is the cost of next best alternative, foregone while choosing an alternative. Bill can commute either by bus, or by self drive.

If Bill drives his car, opportunity cost for him is - the spare time sacrifised, that he could have used while car drive in some other activity (eg reading, listening music).

Opportunity Cost for society is - the fuel utilisation & road traffic management  efficiency sacrifised, by using private instead of public transport. This leads to more pollution, more congestion on roads.

Can someone fill in the blanks for me. Sustainability is when we can meet the ___ of the ____ while making sure the ____ of _____ generations can also be met.

Answers

Answer:

Sustainability is when we can meet the needs of the current generation while making sure the needs of future generations can also be met.

Explanation:

This is a well-know definition in economics and management, although it can be applied to practically any other field. When we take sustainability into consideration, we are basically keeping an eye in the future instead of simply focusing in the present.

We are now suffering the consequences of what past generations did. They were not concerned with deforestation rates or pollution, for instance, only worrying about meeting their own needs. However, we are learning from their mistakes. When we produce, we think of a way to do it without depleting future generations. In other words, we are meeting our needs while making sure they will also be able to meet theirs.

What's a lasting impact that New Imperialism had on Africa?

A) Political Instability

B) Social Darwinism as a justification for radical equality

C) Thriving resource-based economy

D) An established African manufacturing base

Answers

Answer:

A) Political Instability

Explanation:

The lasting impact that New Imperialism had on Africa is Political Instability. Thus, option A is correct.

What is New Imperialism?

The term "New Imperialism" refers to an era of colonial expansion by European countries, the United States, and Japan in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. During this time, there was an unparalleled push for overseas territory gains.

African villages lost their ability to produce food, resulting in famine. Traditional African communities began to collapse, and Europeans began to hire Asian immigrants, causing animosity between Asians and Africans. Europeans altered the economic structure of African society.

Three consequences of European imperialism in Africa were scarcity of natural resources, deaths from European illnesses, and a surge in conflicts and revolutions.

The long-term impact of New Imperialism on Africa has been political instability. As a result, option A is correct.

Explanation:

Hope this helped!

Prior to American involvement in World War II relationships between the Soviet Union and the United States had been wary and unfriendly. For a period of 16 years following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the U.S. refused even to extend diplomatic recognition to Russia. Even after recognition neither country trusted the other. When the United States was thrust into the war after Pearl Harbor it found itself allied with the Soviet Union against a common enemy -Germany. The relationship which developed was that of a strained alliance. It was at best a marriage of convenience, not a love match.

   Yet the United States and the Soviet Union did cooperate diplomatically and militarily during the war out of necessity. In conjunction with England they hammered out a number of agreements at war-time conferences. Because German troops were besieging Russian cities at time of American entry in the war, the Soviet Union's major diplomatic objective was to get an Allied promise to launch an immediate cross-channel invasion to open up a massive second front in western Europe. This would force some German divisions to leave the Russian front. President Roosevelt pledged that we would do so by Fall, 1942. When the invasion did not take place until June, 1944 Russian mistrust and suspicion of the United States intensified.

   At the beginning of U.S. involvement in the war the "Big Three" (the U.S., England, and the Soviet Union) agreed to concentrate on the military defeat of Germany, and worry about Japan later. This focus on Germany's defeat was clearly reflected at the Casablanca conference in North Africa when the Big Three agreed to fight until Germany surrendered unconditionally. Since Germany posed the greatest military threat to both England and the Soviet Union (which was not even at war with Japan), the decision was understandable. But critics have argued that demanding unconditional surrender prolonged the war because Germany had nothing to gain by surrendering.

   Another wartime conference of the Big Three, at Yalta in the Crimea (part of Russia), had important post-war implications as well as wartime goals. At Yalta, under urging by the United States, the Soviet Union agreed to enter a post-war association of nations (the U.N.), and to go to war against Japan within three months of the defeat of Germany. In return the Soviet Union was to receive part of Sakhalin Island near Japan, and was allowed to maintain troops in Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe, provided that Russia would permit free elections in all those countries immediately after the war was over. The Soviet Union's violation of the pledge of free elections in Eastern Europe following the war was a harbinger of the "Cold War."

   Indeed, when the war ended the fundamental disagreement between the U.S. and the Soviet Union involved the question of who would control Europe. Russia, in order both to expand Communism and establish a safe "buffer zone" of Soviet satellite nations in Eastern Europe, consolidated its control over those countries. This led to what Great Britain's Prime Minister during World II, Winston Churchill, called the descent of an "iron curtain" over all of Eastern Europe. This issue was compounded by Russia's fear of an American monopoly of nuclear weapons. When the U.S., through the Baruch Plan, offered to turn its atomic technology over to a U.N. Atomic Energy Commission, provided no other country tried to develop an atom bomb, Russia refused.

   As the Soviet Union consolidated its control over Eastern Europe and put pressure on other countries, the Truman adminstration developed what has become known as the policy of containment. This policy, developed by 1947 by George Kennan and other State Department leaders and experts, was intended to halt the outward flow of Soviet power. The U.S. policy toward the Soviet Union, according to Kennan, should be one of long-range, patient, but firm and vigilant containment of Soviet expansionist tendencies. Containment was to check the spread of communism, but not to provoke war or try to "roll back" the iron curtain. "Long-range" and "patient" were the operative words.

Milton Friedman discussed the possibility of setting the marginal social cost of printing one more unit of money to zero, implying that the real interest rate should be equal to the rate of deflation in the economy, but not everyone agreed with this. What reasoning did Phelps (1973) provide to argue against Friedman's rule? Which interpretation would be correct in the RBC model? Why?​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Phelps criticized Friedman's position, because he said it was totally irrelevant to analyze the tax functions of inflation without assessing product demand, as Friedman suggested in his theory. He stated that this would only be possible if there was a way to predict an optimal rate of inflation in different situations of demand and supply, otherwise, in Phelps' words it would be the same as "Professor Friedman gave us Hamlet without a prince".

Phelps' positioning would be better considered by the RBC model, since this model is based on real and not imaginary facts.

how does the government recognize the role of the youth in nation building?​

Answers

Answer:

Governments recognize the “important role of youth” in nation building because youth are the most susceptible to indoctrination, and have the least power of any group in society. Accordingly, the State (the thing you think of as government) can indoctrinate youth to be xenophobic nationalists to support the aggressive aims of the State. Once indoctrinated, youth will willingly join the military and put themselves into harm’s way. Youth will also willingly and enthusiastically join political organizations, and do the menial work. And when youth are lost— that is, spent on the field of battle, or alienated from the political process, the loss is easily absorbed by the State because the youth have accumulated little in the way of assets and power, and there is an abundant pool to replace what is lost. So yes, the State may well recognize some value and potential in the youth of its nation, but the State values youth mostly because they are convenient cannon fodder.
