production of cash crops principally for export

cultivating alternative plots to allow for natural regeneration

Bayanin Amsa

Shifting cultivation is an agricultural practice involving cultivating alternative plots to allow for natural regeneration. This practice involves clearing an area of forest or vegetation, planting crops for a few years until the soil becomes depleted, and then moving on to clear another area while the previous area regenerates naturally. This process is repeated over time, with farmers shifting from one plot to another, hence the name "shifting cultivation." It is commonly used in areas with low population density and is often a subsistence-based farming practice.

Osun State and parts of Borno State

Bayanin Amsa

The two areas of very sparse population in Nigeria are the Niger Delta and parts of Niger State, and Kano and parts of Borno State. The Niger Delta is a region in southern Nigeria where the Niger River empties into the Atlantic Ocean. It is sparsely populated because much of the land is covered by swamps and mangrove forests, making it difficult for people to live and farm there. Additionally, the region has experienced significant environmental degradation due to oil exploration and spills, which has led to a decline in agricultural productivity and forced many people to leave. Kano is a state in northern Nigeria that is also sparsely populated in some areas, as well as parts of Borno State. This is due to the region's arid and semi-arid climate, which makes it difficult for people to grow crops and raise livestock. Additionally, the area has been affected by conflict and insecurity in recent years, which has further reduced the population in some areas.

Bayanin Amsa

To convert the time in New York to Baghdad, we need to take into account the time difference between the two locations. New York is in the Western Hemisphere and Baghdad is in the Eastern Hemisphere, so they are on opposite sides of the Prime Meridian (0° longitude). The time difference between New York and Baghdad is 9 hours, since Baghdad is 9 hours ahead of New York. Therefore, if the deadline in New York was 7 p.m. on 15th January, 1991, it would be 4 a.m. on 16th January, 1991 in Baghdad. To arrive at this answer, we need to add 9 hours to the time in New York to get the time in Baghdad. Thus, the correct answer is option D: 3 a.m. on 16th January.

Bayanin Amsa

The two main determinants of the spatial distribution of agricultural crops in Nigeria are climate and soil. Climate refers to the long-term weather conditions of a region, including factors such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity. These climatic conditions have a significant impact on the growth and yield of crops. For instance, crops such as yam and maize thrive in regions with high rainfall, while crops such as sorghum and millet can withstand drought conditions. Soil is also a critical factor in the spatial distribution of crops in Nigeria. The type of soil in a region affects the availability of nutrients and water, which are essential for crop growth. For instance, crops such as cassava and cocoa require soils that are rich in organic matter, while crops such as cotton and groundnut require well-drained soils. Overall, the spatial distribution of crops in Nigeria is influenced by the climatic and soil conditions of a region. By understanding these factors, farmers can select crops that are best suited to the conditions in their region, leading to improved agricultural productivity and food security.

Ocean currents are caused mainly by?

the rotation of the earth

the amount of evaporation from the oceans

prvailing surfaces winds

the shape of the ocean

Bayanin Amsa

Ocean currents are caused mainly by prevailing surface winds. Surface winds cause water to move horizontally across the ocean surface, creating currents. These winds are influenced by a range of factors, including the rotation of the earth, the shape of the continents, and the distribution of land and sea. The rotation of the earth also plays a role in ocean currents, as it creates a force known as the Coriolis effect. This effect causes the direction of the wind and currents to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. However, prevailing surface winds are the main driver of ocean currents. These winds are created by differences in air pressure in the atmosphere, which in turn are caused by the heating and cooling of the earth's surface. The movement of these surface winds, along with the Coriolis effect, creates a circular pattern of ocean currents known as a gyre. While the amount of evaporation from the oceans and the shape of the ocean can also influence ocean currents, they are not the main causes. Evaporation can lead to the formation of denser, saltier water, which can sink and create vertical currents, while the shape of the ocean can create areas of upwelling and downwelling. However, these processes are secondary to the role of surface winds in driving ocean currents.

One of the consequences of the global increase in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere is?

decreasing temperature

Bayanin Amsa

One of the consequences of the global increase in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere is the destruction of the ozone layer. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming. As the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, so does the amount of heat that is trapped, leading to rising temperatures. This increase in temperature has several consequences, including the destruction of the ozone layer. The ozone layer is a protective layer in the earth's atmosphere that absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. When this layer is damaged, more UV radiation reaches the earth's surface, leading to increased rates of skin cancer, cataracts, and other health problems in humans, as well as damage to crops and marine ecosystems. While carbon dioxide is not directly responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer, it contributes to climate change, which in turn can lead to ozone depletion. Other factors, such as the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances, also play a role in the destruction of the ozone layer. Overall, the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has a range of consequences, including global warming and the destruction of the ozone layer.

Rural-urban migration refers to the movement of people from rural areas to urban areas in search of better opportunities. One of the effects of this migration on the source region (i.e., the rural area) is rural depopulation. As people move to urban areas, the population of rural areas decreases, which can have several consequences. One consequence of rural depopulation is a decline in the rural economy. With fewer people living in rural areas, there is less demand for goods and services, which can lead to a decline in economic activity. This, in turn, can lead to rural unemployment as businesses close down or downsize. Another consequence of rural depopulation is a decrease in the quality of life for those who remain in rural areas. With fewer people living in rural areas, there may be less access to healthcare, education, and other services. Additionally, the loss of young and talented individuals to urban areas can limit the potential for growth and development in the rural region. Overall, rural depopulation is a significant effect of rural-urban migration on the source region.

Nimbostratus clouds are commonly associated with continuous precipitation. Nimbostratus clouds are low-lying, gray or dark clouds that usually cover the entire sky. These clouds are formed when warm, moist air rises and cools as it meets a colder air mass. The cooling causes the water droplets in the air to condense and form a cloud. Nimbostratus clouds are often associated with steady, continuous precipitation, such as rain or snow, because they are thick enough to block out sunlight and their large size means they can contain a lot of moisture. In contrast, cumulus, stratus, and stratocumulus clouds are not usually associated with continuous precipitation. Cumulus clouds are fluffy and white and are often associated with fair weather, while stratus clouds are flat and featureless and are often associated with overcast or foggy conditions. Stratocumulus clouds are low, rounded clouds that often appear in rows and can be associated with light rain or drizzle, but not typically continuous precipitation.

Fruits produced in the Mediterranean region of Africa are exported mainly to Western Europe because there is a higher demand for fruits in Western Europe than in Africa. In addition, there are better transportation facilities between Africa and Western Europe than within Africa, which makes it easier and more cost-effective to export the fruits to Europe. As a result, even though the fruits are produced in Africa, they are mainly consumed in Western Europe.
