Which situation would have MOST likely contributed to the passage of the Antarctic Treaty of 1961?A) international wars
B) environmental pollution
C) the icecaps were beginning to melt
D) the indigenous population was threatened

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

A) International wars

Explanation:

In the 1960s the Cold War between the Warsaw Pact and NATO was raging and both the United States and the Soviet Union were scrambling for allies all over the world.

Without a treaty to protect Antarctica, it would only have been a matter of time before one of the superpowers set up a military base on the continent.

Such an occurrence would not have benefitted either nation as an arms race would have developed on the most inhospitable landmass on Earth. It would have made sense to reserve the continent for scientific reserve while also maintaining it peaceful and environmentally pristine.

What is summer school and what do they do there??I am afraid I might have to go to summer school cause my grade are low... bujt ive never had low grades except fo this year and I don't know what to suspect :/

Answers

I'm sorry nobody has told you about it yet. They should. You're scared of something just because you don't know what's in there or what it looks like. Summer school is a chance to improve your grades, because it's a class where they teach the same subjects again, so you can review it and learn it a little better than you did the first time. The only difference is that they go a little faster, because the summer is shorter than the regular school year. And that's the whole story. There's nothing to be afraid of. When I went to Summer school a few years ago, I loved it. I started to understand stuff that I didn't understand very well the first time, and I really improved my grade. Good luck.
