Explain why defense spending is seen as crucial to the development of superpower status (4)  

One reason why defense spending is seen as crutial to the development of superpower status because it allows the country to defend it self in conflict and furthermore it acts as a deterant for other countries who hight want to invade it. Another reason would be to threaten other countries with weaker military presense to obey their rules.


Assess to what extent the superpowers’ rising demand for physical resources has led to both environmental and political challenges (12) 

I fully agree that rising demand for physical resources such as oil has led to enviromental challanges such as oil leaks and water contimanations. For example in canada where vass area of land are deforester to get oil from the soil through extraction, this lead to massive water contimanation due to oil leaking ot surrounding rivers and aquafers and furthermore this lead to moving of indiginous people as their risk of getting cancer had increased more than 100%. Therefore this lead to massive challanges to the canadians government and the movement of indigenous people

superpowers rising demand for physical resources has led to political challanges as seen in Ukrane Russia war.Russia invaded Ukranine so that it could get access to the red sea and increase its superpower status, this led to massive pollitical challanges to russia as western countries sanctionde Russia and therefore leading to a crumbulling of russian currency Roubel.this led to massive political unrest in russia as people tried to fleed the country and look forward to a new dectator.

in conclusion superpowers rising demand for physical resources has led to large enviromental damage as more deforestation is happenning and leading to more political challanges such as russia invasion of ukraine.

Task 1: Adaptation is when you make changes to the way something works e.g climate change will mean large  places around the world will suffer from water droughts and therefore a adaptation to this would be to save more water also known as water conservation some benifits of this include less ectraction of ground water from aquafers and therefore less damage to the enviroment however some drawbacks include it not being effecient and conservative enough to supply high water demand when necessary e.g after a drought. other form of adaptation might include: land use planning flood management use of abnorman energy solar radiation management Mitigation is when you try to prevent the problem it self from happening in the first place or reverse the things done back to normal. One example of this would be the proper use of carbon taxation this would allow us to tax richer people more as the wealthier on the society are the one who use the most carbon this would mean a incentive to go car...

Superpowers - Week 8

  Assess the extent to which global concerns about the physical environment are disproportionately influenced by superpower actions. (12 marks)   firstly physical enviroment are disporpotionally influenced by superpowers due to their high meat consumption this leads to mass deforestation for cattle farming as seen in amazon rain forest in brazil,this than would lead to mass extinction of animals and loss of habitats and furthermore increasing the rate of climate change as less trees means less carbon being stored and absorved. secondly global concerns about physical enviroment are disporpotionally influenced by superpower action as normally superpower countries are the countries with one of the highest consumption of goods. this is further fueled by superpower exporting their goods from lic countries who are less concern about damaging physical enviromentas they think of money in short run instead of the enviroment itself

 12 marker  Assess the impacts of changes to the Carbon cycle on the Arctic region??? One impact Changes to the carbon cycle such as humans burning fossil fuel therefore releasing carbon that was stored in long term storage ment that more carbon is in the atmosphere now than before, this led to a increase in global temperature leading to permafrost thawing which stores a bunch of carbon and organic material, the melting of permafrost means more carbon will be released to the atmosphere creating a circle of chaos. Another impact would be the increase in plant growth in artic as warmer temperatures means a longer growing season and due to more carbon in the atmosphere the vegetations will grow even faster and the carbon the trees absorb is minimal compared to the melting of artic releasing stored carbon. Othe impact of this would be the loss of biodiversity in artic as changes in temperature and habitat can lead to a decline or even extension of the animals living there.leading ...
