B. Outsourcing
C. Capitalism
D. Central planning

Answers

Outsourcing. When a business outsources a process (e.g. manufacture of a part or an item) or a function (e.g. payroll), it hands over regulated control by way of contract to another organization. This organization to which the process or function is outsourced now is primarily responsible for the efficient completion of the task subject to the performance conditions of the outsourcing contract.

Which port city on the Sea of Japan is located near Russia's border with China? Where is the Russian port city of Murmansk located?

Answers

The Port of Vladivostok is on the Sea of Japan and located near Russia's border with China. Russia's port city of Murmansk is located in Murmansk Oblast in the Northwest of Russia.

The port that is on the Sea of Japan and is closest to the Russian-Chinese border is Vladivostok. Vladivostok is a city whose economy is based on and around the port and it is of extremely big geostrategic and economic value to Russia because its location is excellent and is in close proximity to countries that are strong economies and from which Russia has a huge income.

The port city of Murmansk is located in the northwest part of Russia, in the Murmansk oblast, on the Kola peninsula. It is a port of big importance because it is in the Arctic circle, and Russia has very big interest of the area about the natural resources in there, so Murmansk is most often the base for any exploration of the Arctic.

Describe the four drainage patterns.

Answers

Answer:

Drainage patterns refer to the ways in which rivers and streams organize themselves within a landscape as they flow downhill and carry water to larger bodies of water, like lakes or oceans.

Explanation:

There are four primary drainage patterns:

  • Dendritic Pattern: This is the most common drainage pattern, characterized by a branching network resembling the branches of a tree. It occurs when a river or stream follows the path of least resistance, eroding through softer rock or sediment while avoiding harder materials. Dendritic patterns often develop in regions with uniform geology.
  • Radial Pattern: In a radial pattern, rivers or streams flow outward from a central high point, like spokes on a wheel. This often occurs on conical mountains or volcanoes. Water flows down the slopes in all directions away from the summit.
  • Rectangular Pattern: This pattern forms when streams or rivers flow along lines of fault or fracture in the landscape. The streams often take on a right-angle pattern, creating a grid-like appearance. This is more common in regions with a well-defined joint or fault system.
  • Trellis Pattern: A trellis pattern features parallel main rivers or streams with shorter tributaries that flow perpendicular to them. This pattern often develops in regions with alternating layers of resistant and less resistant rock. The main rivers erode along the softer rock layers, and the tributaries develop along the harder layers.

These drainage patterns are a result of the interplay between the geology, topography, and erosion processes in a particular area. They provide insights into the underlying geological features and history of a landscape.
