identify and describe the environmental impact of development on the amazon basin.
The Amazon Basin is located in brazil. For centuries, this has protected the area, people, and the animals residing in it. Forest recession has occurred in the past 30 years due to increased industry and population growth through road projects, settlement initiatives, and industrial development.
The Amazon Basin includes a diversity of traditional inhabitants as well as biodiversity in both flora and fauna. These peoples have lived in the rain forest for thousands of years, and their lifestyles and cultures are well-adapted to this environment. Contrary to popular belief, their subsistence living methods do not significantly harm the environment. In the past few decades, the real threat to the Amazon Basin has been deforestation, poaching, and cattle ranching by transnational corporations.
Oil and gas development often also takes a heavy toll on the environment and local people; especially in rainforest areas where it can cause displacement of local people, air and water pollution, and construction of roads that open previously inaccessible areas to deforestation.
That said, even a new NASA study shows that over the last 20 years, the atmosphere above the Amazon Basin has been drying out, increasing the demand for water and leaving ecosystems vulnerable to fires and drought. It also shows that this increase in dryness is primarily the result of human activities.
Summary: all impacts caused by human development in the Amazon Basin is causing the atmosphere to go bad, the crops and indigenous plants to die at alarming rates, the water to be polluted, and the animals and humans who are indigenous of the area suffer the consequences.

Answer:
Yes, Great Britain is guilty of genocide, but we must clarify that this does not mean whatsoever that contemporary British or White Australian people are guilty as well, although they should of course know the acts of the past so that they are never repeated.
Explanation:
The reason why is that before the arrival of the British, there were more than 250,000 aboriginals living in Australia, and by 1920, the aboriginal population had gone down to 60,000. This sharp population decrease did not occur only due to involuntary causes like the spread of diseases, but also because of the many massacres that the British colonists committed against the aboriginals in order to take up their lands.

1. How do the waters of the earth's oceans help distribute heat from one place to another?
Currents influence winds through the Coriolis effect.
Currents carry warm water from the Equator to the poles.
Warm water stays far below the ocean's surface.
Cold water stays just below the ocean's surface.
Answer:
Explanation:
How does wind affect ocean currents?
Major surface ocean currents in the open ocean, however, are set in motion by the wind, which drags on the surface of the water as it blows. ... The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them.

Analyze the zeros of f(x)=^4-3x^3-2x^2+3x-5
Determine the zeros to the nearest tenth.
a.1.4, -3.4
c.−1.2, 3.4
b.−2.4, 2.3
d.−1.4, 3.4
Answer:
d.−1.4, 3.4
Explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = x^4-3x^3-2x^2+3x-5[/tex]
Required
Determine the zeros
The best way to solve this is to apply the graphical method.
First, we plot the graph of: [tex]f(x) = x^4-3x^3-2x^2+3x-5[/tex]
See attachment
Next, we write out all values of x when the line crosses the y-axis.
From the attached graph, the points are (approximately):
[tex]x =-1.449[/tex]
[tex]x = 3.449[/tex]
Option (d) is the closest to the above values.
Hence, the zeros are: -1.4 and 3.4
