Answer:
The western plains of China contain very fertile soil. Perfect living conditions. As well as an abundance of water and natural resources.
Explanation:
The reason so few people live in the East is because it is not very sustainable for human life. It is very cold, arid, the soil isn't great. The West however, has ocean routes, is wealthy, has access to fertile soil, etc...
China's major rivers, mountain ranges, desert regions, and population densities are depicted on this map. Understanding where people settle and why some areas have greater population densities than others begins with mapping the distribution of a population.
1. According to the map key (bottom left), each point represents one million people.
2. Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas. A topographic map shows landforms, watercourses, vegetation, and manmade features, such as mountains, valleys, and rivers. Usually, elevation is expressed as a percentage of sea level.
3. In mountain ranges and hills, topography affects population distribution, for example, because roads are difficult to build, making trade and travel difficult. Especially in high-altitude regions, it is not feasible to set up a house because of the lack of access to water and agricultural land.
Taklamakan, for example, is one of the driest deserts in the world. The risk of not having food or water makes human life difficult. There is more accessible and survivable land elsewhere in China, so people settle there.
4. Having natural resources facilitates a higher population because they can be used to build industries and manufacture goods. With an increasing population comes the need for more resources, such as freshwater, farmland, oil, etc., which will encourage people to settle in areas with abundant resources.

what are the pros and cons of being a planetary geologist?
Answer:
Pros include lots of travel, more cool technology, and the sense that you're involved in a field with that could save a lot of lives. Cons are they're tough jobs to get, and if you don't get one your degree isn't broadly applicable to other careers. Probably a good job for an introvert, depending on your ambition.

Does the sun have a strong variable luminance or a weak variable luminance? explain your answer?
Answer:
The average luminance of the Sun is about 1.88 giga candela per square metre, but as viewed through Earth's atmosphere, this is lowered to about 1.44 Gcd/m2. However, the luminance is not constant across the disk of the Sun (limb darkening).
Explanation:
What is the connection between cloud formation and precipitation?
Answer:
Clouds are just lots of drops of water all stuck together. When clouds get so full of water droplets that they can't hold any more, the water falls back to the ground as rain! Sometimes the water droplets freeze and fall to the ground as snow, sleet, or hail. Water or ice that comes from clouds is called precipitation.

What do you think we should do to stop the ozone layer from disappearing.
Answer:
We should limit the use of carbon dioxide,such as making more electric cars,and limit greenhouse gasses.
Answer: Here are some things we can do
Explanation:
Avoid the consumption of gases dangerous to the ozone layer, due to their content or manufacturing process. Some of the most dangerous gases are CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), halogenated hydrocarbon, methyl bromide and nitrous oxide.
Minimize the use of cars. The best transport option is urban, bicycle, or walking. If you use a car to a destination, try to carpool with others to decrease the use of cars in order to pollute less and save.
Do not use cleaning products that are harmful to the environment and to us. Many cleaning products contain solvents and substances corrosive, but you can replace these dangerous substances with non-toxic products such as vinegar or bicarbonate.
Buy local products. In this way, you not only get fresh products but you avoid consuming food that has traveled long distances. As the more distance traveled, the more nitrous oxide is produced due to the medium used to transport that product.
Maintain air conditioners, as their malfunctions cause CFC to escape into the atmosphere
Explain how the relative and absoulate age of rocks and the fossil record provide evidence of earths geological history?
To determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years.
The relative and the absolute age of rocks and fossil records provide evidence of the earths geographic history through the use of radiometric dating methods.
The dating methods that the geologists make use of are usually based on radioactive dating.
The natural decay of the elements or the compounds that are found in the objects are used as reliable sources of information to date the history of such happenings.

Which technique is commonly practiced in the rain forest for clearing land for farming? a crop rotation and irrigation b slash and burn farming c terrace farming d ecotourism
Answer: the correct option is B( slash and burn farming).
Explanation:
The rain forest is dense and made up of many types of broad- leave trees that are mostly evergreen. The trees form three layers or strata. The treetops form a thick canopy that prevents sunlight from reaching the forest floor. As a result, the vegetation on the forest floor is sparse. Therefore, for farmers to achieve a successful crop yield, a practice for clearing land for farming known as slash and burn farming method is used.
The slash and burn method is used in rain forest where an area is selected and the vegetation is cut down and burnt. This is to obtain a field usually called swidden that can be used for farming. After slashing( cutting) down the vegetation, it is allowed to dry and burnt. This method makes the soil fertile only for a short period of time and as a result farmers are forced to allow the farmland to fallow to renew it's fertility. One major disadvantage about this method is that it takes a long period of time(5 -15 years) to allow the land regain its lost nutrients and this can grossly interrupt both the economic and financial benefits of a farmer.

Explanation:
A musical concert is scheduled to start in Los Angeles in U.S.A longitude 120° west on Saturday by 4pm. At what time and day should Nigerians switch on their t.V. Sets to watch the concerts live. Longitude of Nigeria 15° east
Answer: 1 am on Sunday
Explanation:
Every distance of 15° longitude is an hour in time. This means that places that are 15° longitude apart have a time zone difference of an hour, areas that are 30° have a time zone difference of two hours and so on.
The time difference between a location in the U.S.A at longitude 120° west and Nigeria at 15° east would be:
= (120 + 15) / 15
= 9 hours
The 15 was added because Nigeria is east of the Greenwich meridian and the U.S. is west. The lines of longitude count down from the West to the East and get to zero at the Meridian. Then start again as they go east.
Areas east are also further in time than areas west so Nigeria is ahead of the U.S.
Nigeria is therefore ahead of that area by 9 hours. They would be able to watch the show at:
= 4pm + 9 hours
= 1 am on Sunday
