What agreement has the goal of stopping the loss of biodiversity?

the Kiev Resolution
the Kyoto Protocol
the Montreal Plan
the Soviet Doctrine

Answers

Answer 1
the Kyoto Protocol

The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty. It was made to extend the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on December 11, 1997, and entered into force on February 16, 2005. There are currently 192 parties to the Protocol. The protocol has different objectives, in which there is also the stopping of the loss of biodiversity.
Answer 2

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is the agreement aimed at stopping the loss of biodiversity.

The agreement with the goal of stopping the loss of biodiversity is none other than the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). While the Kyoto Protocol was the first international agreement on climate change, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the CBD was expanded during the 2010 Aichi Biodiversity Targets to include recommendations for the protection of biodiversity. Furthermore, the Montreal Protocol was created to address the depletion of the ozone layer and is not directly aimed at halting biodiversity loss.

the hydrosphere
the lithosphere
the atmosphere
the biosphere

Answers

Answer:

The lithosphere is responsible for forming the solid shell of Earth that holds up life.

Explanation:

There are three layers dividing planet earth namely the mantle, core and the crust, and it also has physical spheres one of which is lithosphere. The lithosphere is the earth's solid shell made up of the upper portion of the mantle and the entire crust.

Its thickness, it ranges from 50 km -280 km with varying thicknesses due to both thick continental and thin oceanic crust. It contains different types of rocks and minerals at a different depth from the earth's surface. On the surface of the lithosphere, there is abundant sedimentary rock, but as the depth increases, there are metamorphic and igneous rocks.

rom 2003 to 2008, literacy rates in Sudan averaged 85% for male students and 71% for female students. In Kenya, the literacy rate for males was 80% and 81% for females.

-- UNICEF, United Nations Population Division and United Nations Statistics Division.

Which choice offers the most logical conclusion about literacy rates in Kenya and Sudan? A) The Sudanese educational system has been more successful in educating the youth of the nation. B) Literacy rates in Kenya are lower due to the nation's on-going civil wars and ethnic conflicts. C) Gender equality is the same in both countries, even though the Sudan has suffered through civil wars. Eliminate D) Female students in Kenya have greater access to educational opportunities than female students in Sudan.

Answers

Hi,

I believe the answer is D, "Female students in Kenya have greater access to educational opportunities than female students in Sudan."

~Elisabeth
The answer is D.

The literacy rate of females in Sudan is much lower than that of males. On the other hand, the literacy rate is almost the same for males and females in Kenya (even higher for females!). From this you can tell that females have a greater access to education and can eliminate the other 3 choices.

Erosion is caused largely by wind and water but also on a very large scale by

Answers

Erosion is caused largely by wind and water, but on a very large scale, it is also influenced by human activities.

How can human cause erosion

Human-induced factors significantly contribute to erosion, amplifying its extent and impact. Deforestation, agricultural practices, urbanization, and construction activities disturb natural landscapes, removing vegetation cover that would otherwise help stabilize soil.

Deforestation: Removing trees for timber or to clear land for agriculture exposes the soil to the erosive forces of wind and water. Tree roots play a crucial role in holding soil particles together, and their removal accelerates soil erosion.

Agricultural Practices: Unsustainable farming practices such as overgrazing, improper plowing, and monoculture can leave soil vulnerable to erosion.

Erosion is primarily caused by water, wind, and also by gravity and ice, leading to soil degradation, loss of nutrients, and reduced soil productivity. Wind erosion is prevalent in arid regions and involves detachment and transportation of soil. Human activities can increase erosion by removing the soil's protective vegetation cover.

Erosion is a significant geological process largely caused by water, wind, and also on a grand scale by gravity and ice. It is the predominant cause of soil degradation, leading to reduced soil productivity due to the loss of nutrients, water holding capacity, and organic matter. Water erosion is considered the most common form, which includes the splashing of raindrops and the downhill movement of water in various forms such as a film, streams, or larger flood events.

Wind erosion often occurs in flat, arid regions where the soil is dry and sandy. It involves the processes of detachment, transportation, and deposition of soil particles. Detachment occurs when strong winds dislodge soil particles, which are then transported through processes like saltation, soil creep, and suspension depending on their size. Wind not only removes soil but can also degrade its structure.

Gravity and ice, present in the form of glaciers, are significant agents of erosion as well. These forces can move large rock fragments and fine sediments over great distances. Human activities such as construction and deforestation can exacerbate erosion by removing natural vegetation that protects the soil. Other forms of erosion include soil creep, slumps, and landslides which are driven by gravity acting on saturated soils.

To draw the net of a cone, you would use a wedge and two circular bases. True False

Answers

The answer is False. Why would you draw two circular bases? a cone only has one circular base. Hope this helps:)

Answer:

FALSE

(I got this one right)

Explanation:

Brainly AI explanation

To draw the net of a cone, you would use a sector of a circle, not a wedge, and one circular base.

Here are the steps to draw the net of a cone:

1. Start by drawing a circle. This circle will represent the base of the cone.

2. Next, draw a radius from the circle's center to any point on its circumference. This radius will serve as the height of the cone.

3. Now, draw another radius from the circle's center to a different point on its circumference. This will form an arc on the circle.

4. Use a compass to measure the length of this arc, which should be equal to the circumference of the base circle.

5. Place the compass on the center of the base circle and draw an arc that intersects the base circle at two points.

6. Connect these two points to the center of the base circle to form a sector of a circle.

7. Cut out this sector, and when you fold it into a cone shape by aligning the straight edges, you will have the net of a cone.

Remember, the net of a cone consists of a sector of a circle that forms the curved surface of the cone and one circular base.

Which of the following statements best describes how endemic diseases impact a nation’s population?
A. Endemic diseases can result in decreasing population numbers: many people die from diseases, and others move away from or avoid moving to places where diseases are rampant.

B. Endemic diseases can result in increasing population numbers: people living in areas where certain diseases are prevalent tend to have more children because there is a risk that some will die.

C. Endemic diseases can result in decreasing population numbers: people living in areas where certain diseases are prevalent tend to have fewer children.

D. Endemic diseases can result in increasing population numbers: areas where certain diseases are prevalent attract more medical professional and researchers who move to these areas for jobs.

Answers

Endemic diseases result in a decreasing population, so with that said you can rule out choices B and D. 

Among the two left, letter A is the most appropriate answer. Not all endemic diseases have an effect on the number of children a population will have. So if we are speaking about endemic diseases in general, the answer is:

A. Endemic diseases can result in decreasing population numbers: many people die form diseases, and others move away from or avoid moving to places where diseases are rampant.

Answers

the answer is C ik that because it said it was right on my test

Your answer is C.

So, the Ottomans did not want to enter WW1, but they were forced to, so they sided with Germany. At the same time, the sultans were playing around with money.

The Ottomans lost the war. A treaty was created. They said that Turkey was not allowed to dig for oil until 2022. Also, it must remain a non-muslim country until 2022.

They put Ataturk (Mustafa Kemal) in charge. The muslim Ottoman Empire, which lasted for more than 600 years, was taken over by Europeans. Their arabic language was changed to latin letters.

Everything was then over.

Using complete sentences, compare and contrast three aspects of growth in Eastern cities and Western cities in the United States.

Answers

There were a lot of cities back in the east, and populations were rising. People began moving west and building farms, raising cattle, and other animals. Originally, people arrived in the east by ship (from England etc.), but when people traveled to the west they went by wagon trains. In the south people grew things like cotton, sweet potatoes, tobacco, and sugar, while in the west they grew things like apples trees, wheat, and raised herds.
In the west they build small, compact log cabins, while in the east there were factories, larger brick buildings, and marinas for traded good from other countries.
That is how growth differed in the east cities and the west.
summary;
1. People who traveled to the west started from the east. But those people from the east originally came from England, who then settled in the eastern United States. 2. The mode of transportation to their new lives was different, (ship vs. wagon train.) 3. Log cabins in the west vs. larger bricked buildings in the north east. 

Cities in both the east and west experienced periods of rapid growth in the United States but at different points.

What do you mean by growth?

Growth refers to the process of increasing or growing development.

The cities in both east and west faced rapid growth. Eastern cities majorly grew during the 1700s and 1800s and western cities grew mostly in the 1900s.

Eastern cities have large areas of shared housing and mixed neighborhoods whereas western cities are fewer areas sharing residential neighborhoods.

Eastern cities have central business districts and larger downtowns of eastern cities than western cities.

Which statement about the government that took control after the shah is not true?


Westerners were forced to leave the country.


Alcohol was outlawed.


Women retained the rights they had under the shah.


Iran’s leaders called for revolution in other Islamic countries.

Answers

the answer is women retained the rights they had under the shah
Final answer:

The inaccurate statement about the post-Shah government is that women retained their rights. In fact, women's rights were significantly reduced under the new Islamic regime.

Explanation:

The statement about the government that took control after the Shah of Iran that is not true is 'Women retained the rights they had under the Shah.' In reality, women's rights were significantly reduced after Shah was overthrown during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The new regime led by Ayatollah Khomeini enforced strict interpretations of Islamic law, which drastically affected women's rights, particularly in relation to their dress and public conduct.

It is true that Westerners were forced to leave the country, alcohol was outlawed, and Iran's leaders called for revolution in other Islamic countries. These changes reflect the political and cultural shift  in Iran from a more Western-friendly monarchy under the Shah, to a conservative Islamic theocracy.

The full moon cycle (from one phase to the same phase again), from start to finish, is generally 28 days. That being said, from one phase to its opposite, or one half-cycle, would be approximately 14 days.
A lunar month consists of 28 days, during which each phase of the Moon is visible. The time between New Moon (dark) and Full Moon is 14 days : approximately 7 days from New Moon to First Quarter and 7 more from First Quarter to Full. Similarly, it is 7 days from Full Moon to Last Quarter and 7 more back down to New Moon. The time between consecutive appearances of the identical phase is always 28 days.

Which compound that directly provides energy in living cells is being produced in every tube where cellular respiration is occurring?oxygenglucosednaatp? The praying mantis is a member of the Mantid group of insects. Mantids come in many shapes and sizes and are found all over the world. Some have patterns on their bodies that help them look like the ground. Some are bright green to blend in with leaves and plants. One special mantis is bright pink and looks like an orchid. The mantis is such a strange and engaging creature that many people keep them as pets. For many reasons, mantids have fascinated humans for many years. First, mantids show an amazing mastery of hunting skills. Mantids eat a wide variety of insects, including moths, crickets, bees, flies, grasshoppers, other mantids, and even, on occasion, small birds and snakes. They can capture prey many times larger than they are. Their powerful armor and amazing hunting skills make them quite effective. They have large powerful front legs, with spikes that help them hold on to prey. Their head can turn almost entirely around to follow prey without moving. Their front legs are so powerful and so fast that it is hard to see them move when capturing prey. One second their legs are empty and the next they are clutching tightly to something they have caught. Mantids are also stealthy. They wait, very still, very patiently for prey to come into sight. They also make slight swaying movements, to mimic leaves and grass moved by the wind. They focus intently on their victim. Then they pounce, suddenly, rarely missing their target. They are so successful they can triple in size every few months by molting when they outgrow their exoskeletons. They start out as nymphs, able to capture only prey that is smaller than they are. They end their lives about a year later becoming predators that can take down prey as large as hummingbirds. Finally, they are very personable, as far as insects go. They have a large, triangular-shaped head with large eyes. This alien-like appearance makes them quite cute. When you come across them in the garden, you can tell right away they are aware of you. They follow your movements as if to assess if you are either something to eat or something that will eat them. The little ones will accept rides on your finger if you are gentle. But be carefulthey can jump surprisingly far even when small. If they think your freckle is prey, you may be surprised to find a mantis on your nose. As far as predatory insects go, the mantis is one of the most impressive. Gardeners love to find them in on vegetables because mantids eat many insects that damage crops. However, they may also eat some insects that help a gardenerlike bees. Regardless, the mantis is a fascinating insect, and if you happen to see one hunting in the wild, consider yourself lucky.
