Because of global climate change, arctic landscapes and ecosystems are changing rapidly and perceptibly, as the residents of Newtok, Alaska, can attest. With the land upon which they have built their homes slowly melting and sinking, they have appealed to the state and federal governments for assistance in helping them cover the costs of moving their town to a different location. Ironically,
A) the land upon which the Alaskan state government buildings are located is also melting.
B) the residents of Newtok have discovered oil on their land, making their appeal for funds less convincing.
C) a senator from Alaska has a vacation home in Newtok, Alaska, and so is personally committed to the predicament of the town.
D) decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.
E) the economic activity of the town of Newtok is extremely polluting and thus a big contributor to the environmental changes that have turned its residents into the first climate change refugees in the United States.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.

Explanation:

Sedentism is simply the practice of settling in one geographical location for a long time.

Many governments encourage this to ensure that agricultural systems become developed and more sustainable as was the case in Alaska.

Other governments in some part of the world are also in support albeit for a different reason such as security of lives and property.

What is accomplished during meiosis 1

In a swimming pool or lake, the water is a
liquid until the water temperature gets
down to 0 C or 32. F. Water in pools
stays liquid during Las Vegas winters,
with just a bit of ice forming if it gets really cold overnight. Even when it is
chilly in January and February (usually 15° C or 60° F), water stays liquid.
Then, when our area's temperature gets really hot in the summer (usually
about 40° C or 100. F), the water in the pool is still a liquid. It would have
to be 100. C or 212. F for the water in the pool to boil! Those
temperatures have never happened on Earth.
Remember, though, that water does not have to boil to turn to a gas.
Some of the water evaporates at all temperatures. Water temperature is a
measure of the average kinetic energy of its molecules. Some molecules
have more kinetic energy than others. The molecules that have enough
kinetic energy to break the bonds with other molecules can leave the
liquid and move off into the air. That is why you have to keep filling up the
swimming pool, even though it is not boiling.
Why does water stay liquid over a large range of temperatures? Hint:
Think about molecular structure.
