Explain the differences between Oceania's high islands and low islands in terms of physical geography. One-two paragrahs

The high islands have higher topography and volcanoes, while the low islands are flat and just a few meters above sea level.

Explanation:

Oceania's islands, by topography, can be divided into high islands and low islands. While it may seem too simple of a division, it is actually not, because there is a great difference in the islands' topography, and islands that would fall in the middle are simply lacking. What can be noticed is that the high islands lie along active tectonic boundaries, while the low islands are further away from tectonic boundaries.

The high islands have a common characterisitc in that that they all have active volcanoes, which are also the reason that they exist. Because the volcanoes are active, there is new lava pilling up regularly, so the islands keep their higher elevation. The low islands are remnants of volcanoes that existed millions of years ago. As the volcanic activity stopped, the erosion started to gradually lower them down, so much so that they are with maximum elevations of just a few meters above sea level. These islands will actually disappear in the very near future because of the rising sea levels.

hi there,

on december 11, 2001, china officially became the 143rd member of the

world trade organization (wto) in the culmination of a negotiation

process which began in 1986. economists have long been debating the

global effects of china's accession to the wto, and as china becomes

fully integrated into the organization over the next several years,

the accuracy of their predictions will be tested.

one of the biggest residual effects of china's entry to the wto,

according to economists, will be the relocation of manufacturing and

distribution centers to china. due to its cheap labor, cheap

industrial land, and educated workforce, china is an ideal production

centre for businesses based in outside countries. this will likely

result in a twofold impact – more jobs will be available in china,

while countries like india, which have historically offered cheap

labor, will suffer. taiwan and malaysia's technology industries are

already suffering as companies like dell computers move production to

china, and while foreign investment soars in china, other asian

countries suffer. in addition, mexico and the caribbean will lose

thousands of garment manufacturing jobs as the u.s. lifts restraints

on chinese textile imports.

while the impact on southeast asia may be negative, the western world

may benefit. while some suggest china's open borders will result in

increased competition and a decreased employment rate for the western

world, western countries will benefit from access to china's highly

developed electronics and industry sectors. with duties and quotas

slashed, and restrictions lifted, multinationals will benefit by

setting up distribution centers without the need for chinese

middlemen. in addition, it's expected that china will import massive

amounts of food products, machinery and vehicles from the u.s., japan,

hong kong, taiwan, singapore and south korea, thus providing

significant boosts to these countries' economies.

in conclusion, it seems that while western countries may benefit from

china's accession to the wto, there's the potential that asian and

south american countries may feel the pinch of free trade as china

moves to a global economy.
