Also air conditioners exchange heat with atmospheric air, causing further local heating. Additionally, concrete, needed for the expansion of cities, absorb huge amounts of heat, increasing the mean surface temperatures of urban areas. Tall buildings, and often, accompanying narrow streets, hinder the circulation of air, reduce the wind speed, and thus reduce any natural cooling effects.
-Low pressure weather systems come from the west, so the west of the UK is wetter. 5) ALTITUDE (How high the land is): -The higher up you go the colder it gets because the air is thinner so less heat energy is trapperd. - Higher areas get more rainfall as air is forced upwards and the water vapour condenses into rain clouds . -So High altitude parts of the UK are colder and
Arrow 2 points downward because the air above the sea is cold, making it more dense and giving it higher pressure causing it to sink. Also, during the day the sun heats the Earth unevenly because the ground is not in motion, so it would gain more heat than water because it is constantly in motion and mixes its hot and cold spots. To conclude, this is a sea
First, farmers claimed that farm prices were falling and, as a consequence, so were their incomes. They generally blamed low prices on over- production. Second, farmers alleged that monopolistic railroads and grain elevators charged unfair prices for their services. Government regulation was the farmers’ solution to the problem of monopoly. Third, there was a perceived shortage of credit and money.
Roads and railway were inadequate to meet the demands. Transport and housing were also inadequate to cope with the number of town dwellers. Under the NEP there had been unemployment, a shortage of labour. Many of the new workers were in experienced peasants. Wages rose how ever there were too few goods on which to spend money.
Machinery took jobs of many people but it also gave jobs. There were two major changes that happened to poor labourers that the farmer’s hot new machines, this causes poor people to lose their jobs. Many changes happened in the textile industry. There were fewer jobs available because machines were used instead. This would lead to less jobs and people getting fired.
80% of Russia’s population was made up of peasants and most of them lived in poverty. As the population grew rapidly, 98 million in 1885 to 125 in 1905, an attempt to provide land for each peasant family made the size of peasant landholdings fall. As if this wasn’t enough there were several harvest failures which resulted in severe famine. This greatly angered peasants, who in jacqueries, attacked government officials and encouraged the start of the revolution. Also, compared to other European countries, Russian agriculture was still backward.
Poor sales performance and relatively high cost of sales have contributed to the profit margins to slip to one third of other hand tool manufacturers. It also comes clear that Robertson’s effort to provide products to every market segment lowers the overall efficiency of the company. By cutting non-marginal products from the company’s range of products, cost of sales has a potential of being reduced from 69% to 65% of sales. Further on, in case of an acquisition with Robertson, Monmouth Inc. could reduce Robertson’s sales force by implementing all sales functions into the existing hand tool lines. Sales and administrative expenses are expected to be lowered by 3 per cent (from 22% to 19%) if any duplications were removed.
This ties in with what he mentions about the pay of farmers and how it is less than that of major corporation employees. He suggests that the poor work harder for their money that they barely survive on, and an increasing population would make them endure the misery even more. Malthus was blindsided by the fact that because humans naturally reproduce, they will naturally adjust to the changes around them. All in all, Robert Thomas Malthus’ theory was somewhat untrue, and did not support the facts of
Therefore they have limited rights when it comes to employment and their desperate nature to support themselves or their families leads them to hazardous working conditions and wages much lower then the minimum wage. In Mexico city some workers earn 20% less then the minimum wage. The poorest workers are the pepenadores or the rubbish collectors. They earn a living from selling salvaged bits of metal and plastic. There is also a huge discrepancy in the distribution of income as the poorest 40% of the population control less then 12% of the country's personal income.
