Question: How did location, climate, and natural resources affect where ppl live and how they trade in (continued below)?
How did location, climate, and natural resources affect where ppl live and how they trade in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and Cuba?????

Answer:

Answer by MBK
In Brazil, in the early days of European settlement the main area was the NE where they could grow sugar, in those days the most profitable use for a New World colony. Import slaves, export sugar. Climate-based choice. Plus the advantage of being on the coast for trade.

Later on the SE became more populous and much more prosperous. Still on the coast (easiest place to trade from in the days of sailing ships) (/before infrastructure of roads/railways had been built). Healthier climate, better soil, not so dry.

The interior is still much more thinly populated. The Amazon jungle is thick, full of dangerous beasts, hot and sticky, and it rains a lot. Not an easy place to develop agriculture or industry. Extractive industries obviously go where the resource is, so there are mining towns in otherwise remote regions, and also, indeed especially, in the state of Minas Gerais which has the natural resources (minerals) and also is relatively close to domestic markets (the Sao Paulo/Rio/Brasilia triangle) and ports.

Mexico – people don’t live in the desert much, because neither the pre-Columbian indigenous Mexicans nor the European late-medieval conquerors/immigrants had any technology or desire to do so. In the pre-industrial centuries, where the corn grows well is where the people lived. Mexico City on the high plateau as a central market-town gathering-place convenient for administration yet also fertile and with a nice enough climate. Later Guadelajara and other cities also grew on the Plateau. More recently some cities have grown big on the US border just because of the artificial line – Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo etc are where they are entirely because of the poitical/military forces that put the frontier where it is. US businesses set up there to take advantage of lower wages in Mexico (maquiladora) to make or assemble goods as near to US markets as they could while still being in Mexico, and export them to the US. Some Mexicans also moved to these cities so they could live in Mexico and work (legally or illegally) in cities close to but on the US side of the border such as San Diego and El Paso (again, typically for lower wages than Americans would accept). Cancun is where it is because the sea is warm the beaches are beautiful, it has the natural resources for a holiday resort (= what Americans call a “vacation destination”).

Question: Can you tell me what are the two types of Air Pollution found in Singspore ?
Can someone tell me the two types of air pollution in Singapore and what actions has the goverment done to reduce these type of pollution

Answer:

Answer by A.Ganapathy India
One is by the emission of carbon monoxide by the moving Vehicle and another one is from some hazardous factory pollution. The first one can not be totally eliminated but can be kept under control by adopting strict emission norms for the Vehicle . Next one already Singapore took action by not allowing some of the molding and mixing unit to function in their country.

Question: How bad did CLIMATE-GATE derail the Copenhagen plan to spread left wing socialism?
Climate-gate exposed AlGore and the WARMERS as lying frauds, do you think this so severely damaged their “credibility” that these con artists have been put out of business?

Is this why the Copenhagen summit amounted to nothing more than a LEFT WING DICTATOR dog and pony show – starring Hugo Chavez and Castro?

Answer:

Answer by Well Duh!
Not enough to stop the idiot Obama from climbing on the socialist bandwagon.

What stages did the Earth go through in order to get to the present though? How quickly did the sea level rise in order to get where it is now?

Answer:

Answer by jim m
I’ve wondered about this too. They say the sea level has risen about 100 meters or more because of the ice melting but the data to support this estimate is not available. I wonder about the coast line around Europe and if sea level was 100 meters lower where exactly the shore was 12 thousand years ago. Maybe Atlantis is under the North Sea or somewhere near England.

Question: How does the polar jet stream move from summer to winter? How would this affect the climate to the east of the?
How does the polar jet stream move from summer to winter? How would this affect the climate of the locations where it moves?

Answer:

Answer by cyswxman
In general the polar jet moves equatorialward as the respective hemispheres cool during their falls and winters. The jet itself does not really affect the climate as their courses and locations are more of a responsive nature to where the air masses move themselves.
