Chapter:29 QUESTION: 34
97 97. Extreme dry conditions in certain areas of Africa have caused droughts, desertification, and starvation. Farmers and families unable to overcome these problems have moved to the cities in search of jobs.
Chapter:24 QUESTION: 31
98 98. The large number of ethnic groups and languages probably makes unity within African countries very difficult. Ethnic clashes would be more likely, and everyday communication problems would exist because of the presence of so many different languages.
Chapter:24 QUESTION: 32
99 99. African nations can strengthen their economies by processing and manufacturing their resources, thus creating more jobs and selling highly profitable processed and finished products. African nations can also strengthen their economies by diversifying their exports, increasing their revenues by selling a variety of products, and, at the same time, protecting their economies from devastating effects if the world demand for any one particular product declines.
Chapter:24 QUESTION: 33
100100. Africa faces challenges caused by natural factors such as drought and poor soils. Health problems and a low life expectancy result from famine and drought. South of the Sahara, human factors such as ethnic diversity make national unity difficult. Economic factors such as large loan repayment amounts also create challenges for African countries that are trying to modernize.
Chapter:24 QUESTION: 34
101101. Clearing trees from the rain forest would deprive the soil of a constant source of fertilizationÄÄdecomposing leavesÄÄwithout which the soil would quickly wear out. Also, without its protective canopy, the soil would be exposed to heavy tropical rains that would leach and erode the unanchored soil.
Chapter:24 QUESTION: 35
102102. Many African nations borrowed large sums of money to fund modernization projects. Loan payments have become a major part of many countries' budgets, and if governments wish to continue in their efforts to modernize, they must spend a great deal of their money paying off old loans in order to get new ones.
Chapter:24 QUESTION: 36
103103. Drought and desertification in the Sahel wiped out farming, killed cattle, and forced people throughout the region to flee to cities. Also, many people died of starvation because of the famine caused by these conditions.
Chapter:26 QUESTION: 39
104104. European trade promoted the economic growth of coastal West Africa. The new shipping routes also made trade across the Sahel and the Sahara less important, hurting that region's economies. In addition, kingdoms of the coastal area fought each other for control of trade with foreigners.
105105. Trees can be planted as windbreaks to keep the topsoil from blowing away; dependence on firewood as a fuel source can be decreased; fertilizers and improved agricultural techniques can be used to produce a higher food yield from less land without exhausting the productivity of the land in the process.
Chapter:26 QUESTION: 41
106106. Many Africans believe that if their children continue to honor them after death they will live on in the spirit world. Having many children ensures one's continuance as part of an extended family even after death.
Chapter:26 QUESTION: 42
107107. The people of the Sahel will not be able to produce food in the future if they continue to farm land until the soil is exhausted. Nor will the land produce crops if animals are allowed to overgraze. Desertification is a serious problem in the Sahel, and it must be prevented because it cannot be remedied.
Chapter:26 QUESTION: 43
108108. Rain forests absorb carbon dioxide, which, left unabsorbed in the air, would lead to a gradual rise in global temperatures.
Chapter:26 QUESTION: 44
109109. The railroad brought English settlers to the fertile highlands of Kenya, forcing out the Masai and the Kikuyu and changing their lives.
Chapter:27 QUESTION: 46
110110. India's many languages have probably been an obstacle to unity. Social and commercial interactions are hindered when people find it difficult to communicate with each other.
Chapter:28 QUESTION: 39
111111. Subsistence farming. The region is very densely populated, and a majority of its population works in agriculture. A large number of people farming a limited amount of land means that most people probably have small farms and grow only enough food to survive.
Chapter:28 QUESTION: 40
112112. The summer monsoons pick up moisture from the seas as they blow inland. The moisture-laden winds cool as they rise to pass over the Himalayas or the Western Ghats and lose their moisture as rain on the windward slopes. Dry rain shadows form on the other side of the mountains.
Chapter:28 QUESTION: 41
113113. India is strongly influenced by monsoon winds, and the United States is not; the majority of South Asia's people are farmers, while a minority of North America's people are farmers; the majority of people in South Asia practice Hinduism or Islam, while the majority of people in the United States practice Christianity.
Chapter:28 QUESTION: 42
114114. Large, technologically advanced farms could produce food more efficiently and in larger quantities. However, they would displace a large portion of the labor force now working on farms. The large number of unemployed farmers migrating to cities in search of jobs would intensify existing social and health problems in South Asia's already overpopulated cities.
115115. Monsoon rains bring the water that people need for drinking and growing crops. They also cause floods and landslides.
Chapter:28 QUESTION: 44
116116. The pariahs would probably be granted educational and employment opportunities and common privileges that traditionally had been denied to them.
Chapter:29 QUESTION: 41
117117. Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence won the support of the international community, which saw India as a nation trying to peacefully win independence from an oppressive British government. Besides having a strong military, the British occupied many of the high-level positions in India's military. Any armed rebellion against the British would certainly have resulted in more deaths and greater destruction than actually occurred under Gandhi's leadership.
Chapter:29 QUESTION: 42
118118. While the government might not be able to send the villages enough people to educate the farmers personally, the government can provide the villages with public television sets. In this way, the villagers can receive televised instruction on better farming techniques, personal hygiene, and health-care management, as well as local, national, and international news.
Chapter:29 QUESTION: 43
119119. Women in Pakistan have traditionally had far fewer freedoms and opportunities than men. The election of Benazir Bhutto as Pakistan's first woman prime minister might signal the beginning of greater opportunities and privileges for all of the women in Pakistan.
Chapter:29 QUESTION: 44
120120. Some of the benefits of British rule include the abolition of slavery and the creation of modern transportation systems. However, these benefits do not make up for the losses that India suffered as a result of British rule, including destruction of the Indian textile industry, economy, and social structure.
Chapter:29 QUESTION: 45
121121. The British felt superior toward the Indians and did not treat them as equals. For example, both the government and the army were organized with British officials in positions of power and Indians filling the lower ranks. Britain used India as a source of raw materials and as a market for its cheaper textiles. As a result, India's once flourishing textile industry disappeared, and millions of people lost their livelihoods. Many Indians felt great anger and resentment toward the British.
