Question
Chapter 8, Problem 2CEF
To determine
Whether the forest use and grazing have higher footprint for temperate-zone industrialized nations (U.S. and Canada) or for tropical developing nations (Kenya and Tanzania). And to determine the reason for the difference between these two types of nations and what else beside the utilization of grassland and forests contributes to the ecological footprint.

The Human Denominator Assignment
As we learn about how the earth works, we learn to identify the different earth spheres
and how they overlap and affect one another. An understanding of the Earth's systems and
spheres takes practice. More importantly, we can see the "Domino Effect" of the spheres as they
interact with one another. We have learned that while endogenic processes are separate from
exogenic process, the lithosphere affects the atmosphere which affects the hydrosphere, and the

As you complete the following questions, assume that waves with a wavelength of 60 feet are approaching the shoreline from the bottom left of the figure. 1. At approximately what water depth-10, 20, 30, or 40 feet-will the approaching waves begin to touch bottom and slow down? (Hint: Recall that this occurs when the water depth is one-half the wavelength.) Approximately the 30-foot depth line. 2. Using the wave shown in Figure 12.2 as a starting point, sketch a series of lines to illustrate the wave refraction that will occur as the wave approaches the shore by following these steps:Step 1: Mark the position on the 30-foot contour line where the wave front will first touch bottom.Step 2: Knowing that the section of the wave that touches bottom will slow down first, sketch the shape of the wave front when it reaches the 20-foot contour…arrow_forward
