Answer:
True
Explanation:
It's true that old vehicles like the ones found in Africa and in other poor countries contribute a lot to the air pollution.
But it's far from the only reason... it's probably not the most important reason for most countries either. The main reasons would be big factories without any air pollution control, and the total eradication of air-purifying forests.
This is mostly the doing of the industrial countries... either by colonisation or by exporting factories in places where they had lower environmental controls to attract investments.

Although the waters are rising in the ocean today and are submerging our coastlines, there are areas of coastline that are uplifting faster than the sea is rising. These coastlines are called:
a. Emergent coastlines
b. Estuary coastlines
c. Submergent coastlines
d. Glacier coastlines
Answer:
a. Emergent coastlines
Explanation:
The emergent coastlines are the coastlines that are lifting further up from the sea level. This can be either by fall of the sea levels, or by isostatic rebound. Since in the present we do not have fall of the sea levels, but the opposite, rise of the sea levels, the only way that a coastline can be emergent is by isostatic rebound. The isostatic rebound occurs at places that were once under thick ice sheet. The ice sheets put a lot of weight on them and pressed them lower, but as the ice sheets have melted, the weight is there no more, so the land is lifting up again, causing the coastline to rise quickly than the rise of the sea level. As this process happens, what was once a beach comes to be more of a cliff feature, while the cliffs have gone further away from the sea and there are new beaches that are forming below them at the places that were once covered with water. This process can easily be seen in the present on the western Scottish coastline.
The areas of coastline uplifting faster than the rise in sea level are called emergent coastlines. Emergent coastlines are formed from geological activity like tectonic uplift, exposing previously submerged areas.
Explanation:The Emergent coastlines fit the description given in your question. Emergent coastlines are formed when land rises due to geological activity, such as tectonic uplift, and outpaces the rise of sea levels. In these regions, formerly submerged areas may become exposed, creating new stretches of coastline.
Contrarily, Submergent coastlines are areas where the sea level has risen relative to the land, leading to flooding and the creation of features like bays and lagoons. So, in this case, only Emergent coastlines are uplifting faster than the sea is rising.

Which house on the map is at the greatest risk for damage caused by a landslide?
Answer:
it is the house that is in front of the mountain.
Explanation:
A rock that enters the atmosphere from space and survives to reach the ground is a(n):a.Meteor b.Asteroid c.Comet d.Meteorite
When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere, or another planet, such as Mars, at high speeds and burn, they are called meteors.
What do you understand by meteorite?A meteorite is a solid fragment of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that emerges from space and survives as it passes through space to reach the surface of a planet or moon.
When meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere they come at great speed. Many burn. The fireballs or "shooting stars" they have are called meteors.
Thus, a meteoroid survives a space trip and crashes to the ground. If so, it is called a meteorite. Option D is the correct statement.

1. Which of the following is an accurate description of Mecca before the introduction of Islam? A. Learned men gathered there to debate the doctrines of Zoroastrianism and Judaism. B. The Roman and Ptolemaic empires had already influenced the city and its surrounding region. C. Mecca was a kind of paradise, with flowing rivers, lush grasses, and bountiful fruit trees. D. Mecca contained a revered sanctuary where polytheistic Meccans worshipped.
Answer:
Mecca contained a revered sanctuary where polytheistic Meccans worshiped
Explanation:
Before the introduction of Islam, Mecca was a place in which the people that lived there were polytheistic. In this place there was an ancient sacred stone, a very large black stone, which was revered by the locals as a place where they can communicate with the gods and pray to them. The origin of the Black Stone are not known, and there's lot of suggestions that is a piece of an asteroid or meteorite that has been crafted by the ancient people. Even after the Islam was introduced, the Black Stone remained sacred, and nowadays it is one of the most sacred places in this religion. It comes little weird because the Islam is a religion well known for its intolerance of other religions, and considering that this stone was sacred for a previous polytheistic religion and has became one of the central places of Islam is very unusual.
