Compare and contrast land which has undergone desertification to ecosystems which harbor natural deserts. How can the apparently life-promoting act of irrigation eventually have the opposite effect?

Answers

Answer 1

A natural desert refers to an ecosystem which is a large and dry land area which has little to no vegetation.

What is Desertification?

This refers to the gradual process of land turning into a desert due to several factors.

Hence, we can see that irrigation can help to slow down or even reverse the effects of desertification of a piece of land, but also planting of trees is needed in order to keep a place from turning to a desert.

Answers

Answer:

1. human capital.

2. physical capital.

3. human capital.

4. technology.

5. physical capital.

6. human capital.

7. technology.

8. human capital.

Explanation:

Human capital refers to the knowledge, skills, experiences, capabilities acquired by an individual inorder to the productivity. Physical capital refers to those inputs that contribute in the production process. It basically means the factors of production like land, building, machinery, etc. Technology refers to research, innovations and development. In other words, it means innovating something new.

Human capital is the knowledge and ability that workers have that allow them to perform their job or to perform it better. Some examples of human capital are the knowledge obtained through various types of education and training as in the case of more college graduates, individuals going to culinary school, adult literacy, and doctors learning about a new way to treat cancer.

Physical capital consists of those physical resources that are used in production but that are not inputs in production. Examples of these are company computers and company cars that presumably enhance workers' ability to perform their tasks.

Technology consists of the processes by which capital is employed in the production process. For example, improvements in a distribution process or in cancer treatments are both examples of technologies.

Explanation:

Suppose that the policy-makers of a foreign country decide to enact policy that reduces unemployment (at the expense of higher prices) just before an election. At the time of the election, however, the reduction in unemployment is much greater than expected, and the pesky inflation increase never occurs.

The graph illustrates the economy before the government attempts to reduce unemployment. Change the graph to illustrate changes in the economy that could result in lower unemployment without an increase in prices.

Note that LRAS represents long-run aggregate supply, SRAS represents short-run aggregate supply, and AD represents aggregate demand.

Answers

Answer:

*see image*

Explanation:

The tool available to the policy-makers that would have resulted in a (short-run) decrease in the unemployment rate is an increase in aggregate demand.

Had nothing unexpected happened, unemployment would have fallen in the short run, and the price level would have risen in both the short and long run. However, that bump in inflation never happened, and a greater-than-expected fall in the unemployment rate occurred. The only unexpected shift that could have caused this is a rise in SRAS.

The SRAS curve shift alone would have resulted in lower (short-run) unemployment and less inflation than would have occurred otherwise (or possibly even deflation). An AD shift of the right size, occurring at the same time as the SRAS shift, would have resulted in no change in the inflation rate and even less unemployment. Depending on the relative sizes of the SRAS and AD shifts, an unexpected fall in AD paired with the increase in SRAS could have led to this result as well.

Do you believe charismatic authority has played a role in our last two presidential elections?

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Going to assume your'e talking about US elections. I will try to remain unbiased.

Presidents Trump and Biden have very night and day styles of charisma, which are both very interesting to analyze.

Trump's charisma was the type to get people riled up, while using terms that any person can understand. He was never afraid to speak his mind and advertised himself as someone whos agaisnt the establishment. Of course, we saw how this caused a bunch of chaos throughout the country in many different fields. It is with the background of this chaos that we can analyze Biden's charismatic authority. He presented himself as a regular man; "Uncle Joe" if you will, unlike his celebrity businessman predecessor. With this presented a sort of "return to normalcy" from the chaos of Trump's presidency. He doesn't present himself as the type to be very outlandish.
