Answer:
Solving climate change is a huge international challenge. Only a concerted global effort, involving the governments of all nations, will be enough to avert dangerous consequences. But that said, the individual actions of everyday people are still crucial. Large and complex issues, like climate change, are usually best tackled by breaking down the problem into manageable bits.
For carbon emissions, this means reducing the CO2 contribution of each and every one of the six and a half billion people on the planet. But what can you, as an individual person or family, do that will most make a difference to the big picture? Here are my top ten action items, which are both simple to achieve and have a real effect. They are ranked by how much impact they make to ‘kicking the CO2 habit’.
1. Make climate-conscious political decisions. Some commentators said that the 2007 Australian Federal election was the first to be strongly influenced by the stance made by competing political parties on climate change. Regardless of how true this may be, it is obvious that the strong and urgent action needed to combat climate change will require a healthy dose of political will, and the courage to make tough choices. This willpower comes from voters, who consistently demand real action and can see through ‘greenwashing’ (pretend ‘solutions’ and half-measures that do not do the job). Climate change should be a totally non-partisan issue since it affects all people and all countries. If climate change is not perceived by both sides of politics as a ‘core issue’, it will inevitably be marginalised by apparently more immediate concerns. So assess policies clearly, and make your vote count towards real climate solutions – each and every election. This is the only way a global solution can be put in place, in time.
2. Eat less red meat. Traditional red meat comes from ruminant livestock such as cattle and sheep. These animals produce large amounts of methane, which is a greenhouse gas that packs 72 times the punch of CO2 over a 20 year period. Other types of meat, such as chicken, pork or kangaroo, produce far less emissions. At average levels of consumption, a family’s emissions from beef would easily outweigh the construction and running costs of a large 4WD vehicle, in less than 5 years. There is no need to cut out red meat entirely, but fewer steaks and snags mean far less CO2.
3. Purchase “green electricity“. The future of energy clearly likes in renewable sources such as solar, wind and wave power and ‘hot rocks’. Even without climate change, there are limits to available oil, natural gas and coal. ‘Green power’ is electricity that comes from these technologies, but is delivered to you in the same way as ‘dirty power’ from fossil-fuel burning. That is, down your power lines. You can buy enough to replace your entire energy usage, or some fraction (I recommend going for 100%; the cost is a few more cents per kilowatt hour of electricity). Most energy suppliers now offer this service and will purchase energy from green sources that is equivalent to what you use. As more people take up this scheme, it will drive ever greater investment in these technologies, reduce cost of delivery, and so further hasten the pace of update. It’s a feedback, and you can be the catalyst of change. [Note some problems with GreenPower here]
4. Make your home and household energy efficient. We all unthinkingly leave lights on when we are not in the room, or switch off the TV by the remote instead of at the wall, fire up the heater on when we could put on an extra layer of clothing, or turn on the air conditioner when we could open the window and turn on a fan. It’s force of habit – a bad habit we can break, with just a little thought. Behaviour change lies at the heart of most individual actions on reducing our individual carbon footprint. By being sensible about your use household energy use, and making sure your house is well insulated, you can make a huge dent in your CO2 emissions. Oh, and it will save you plenty money that you no longer spend on wasted energy, year in, year out.
5. Buy energy and water efficient appliances. Aside from behavioural change, we can invest in more sensible technologies that help us in our day to day lives. When buying new electronic appliances, air conditioners or washing machines, look at their energy and water usage. The more energy efficient they are, the more they’ll save you in the long run, and the lower their CO2 impact will be. In most cases the ‘payback period’ – the difference between the initial cost of a high versus low efficiency appliance and the long-term savings in lower electricity and water bills, is only a matter of a few months to a few years. After that, you are laughing all the way to the bank, and doing something meaningful to combat climate change at the same time.
The image shows a portion of the periodic table. Which two elements have similar characteristics?
oxygen, fluoride, neon, sulfur, chlorine, and argon
A. neon and fluorine
B. chlorine and sulfur
C. fluorine and chlorine
D. oxygen and chlorine
E. argon and fluorine
Answer:
C. fluorine and chlorine
Explanation:
Fluorine and chlorine are the elements among the given choices that will show similar characteristics.
The reason for this is that elements in the same group show similar chemical behavior.
Fluorine and chlorine are both halogens. They belong to the seventh group on the periodic table. Hence they have 7 electrons in their valence shell. This accounts for the similar chemical behavior and predictable physical characteristics they show.Answer:

the dominance of Christianity in Latin american and of Buddhism in Southeast Asia is a direct result of
Answer:
Correct answer is that this is the result of activity of missionaries.
Explanation:
After Europeans discovered the New World, Catholic church insisted that missionaries should be sent to spread Christianity between the Natives. Many religious orders, including the Jesuits were sent to do this. And the results were amazing, as even today most of the people in this areas are Catholic.
The same goes with Buddhism as the Buddhist missionaries, the so-called Dharma Bhanaks were spreading the religion across these areas.
The dominance of Christianity in Latin America and Buddhism in Southeast Asia is a direct result of cultural diffusion, which occurs when an idea is spread from one culture to another.
To better understand the process of cultural formation of the peoples of Latin America and Southeast Asia, it is necessary to look at the historical construction of these locations.
Brazil, for example, is a country in Latin America that was colonized by the Portuguese who instituted the Catholic religion in the country through Jesuit missionaries who sought to convert the natives who lived there.
Therefore, it is through cultural diffusion that ideas, behaviors, technologies and information are shared from one culture to another.

Which factor best explains why the Andes Mountains are located on the equator but also have a cold climate?
Proximity to the Pacific Ocean
Proximity to the Pacific Ocean
The El Niño Effect
The El Niño Effect
High elevation
High elevation
Location near the equator
Answer:
The high elevation is the factor that explains why the majority of the Andes are located at and around the Equator but they have a cold climate.
Explanation:
The first option is not correct because the Pacific Ocean doesn't bring cold weather conditions to the Andes.
The second option is not correct because El Nino is responsible for the cold climate in the Andes, instead, it brings higher temperatures.
The third option is correct because the Andes are very high, the highest mountain range in the Western Hemisphere, and among the highest in the world, so naturally, with such high elevation the climate is colder.
The fourth option is not correct because their location near the Equator increases their temperature, not making it colder.

If you combine these two measurements together, what information would you now have?
A.
your city’s migration rate
B.
your city’s level of education
C.
your city’s weather
D.
your city’s population density
Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The population density= the number of people in a population divided by the size of the place they live.
Answer:
D. It makes more sense cause 1. The weather has nothing to do with finding out how many people live their. 2. The question about level of education has little to do with finding out how many people live in your city because some people might not be there for education or might not have had education. 3. Migration might have something to do with the population but not as much as the population density.
