what are some of the factors that cause you’re up to be one of the most densely populated areas of the world.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

There are two factors that make a place densely populated: little land area and lots of people. If a place is densely populated it is very crowded. If you cram a high population into a small space, it will be crowded. A country like Monaco is very densely populated because it is extremely small but has lots of people.

Have a wonderful day! :D

central asia and the south caucasus are important because their orientation will greatly affect the power and national security planning of large neighboring or interested states (principally, the united states, russia, china, iran, turkey, india, and pakistan). how these states and others think and act strategically in central asia and the south caucasus will influence geopolitical alignments in the region. it is also important to grasp how these states, and others whose interest is acute though less direct (for example, israel, japan, south korea, some gulf arab states), factor central asia and the south caucasus into their strategic thinking.

conversely, the states of central asia and the south caucasus are increasingly dealing with countries other than those we tend to see as having the most direct interest and natural advantages--russia, iran, and turkey. the states of central asia and the south caucasus are looking to a number of other states--for example, india, pakistan, israel, china, south korea and japan--for new trade possibilities and security arrangements. all of these states are increasingly active in both central asia and the south caucasus.

strategic dynamics now cascade across geographic regions. developments in one region can have extensive direct, and second- and third-order consequences other regions. analysts must broaden their focus and not view the region as a traditionally defined set of states. central asia and the south caucasus are a strategic crossroads. they must be understood and analyzed in the larger eurasian/asian context if analysts are to capture all of the cross-regional dynamics that shape these two regions as well as the broader geopolitical landscape around them.

iran is potentially the most influential near-term variable. if a normalization of us-iranian relations takes place, the entire regional picture would change dramatically by changing the strategic calculations of all the regional actors and the major external actors in the two region.

russia's policy will not necessarily be more coherent or benign under president putin. russia probably will continue to be weak but remain relatively stronger than its neighbors and possess more leverage than other actors in the central asian and south caucasus regions. several panelists suggested considering the implications for central asia and the south caucasus of a russia in which power is significantly devolved to its borderlands, or that is even fragmented politically.

so long as afghanistan remains in chaos, which it probably will for a fairly long time, it will be a principal contributor to the most worrisome threats facing central asia: the conjunction of narcotrafficking and militant islam, terrorism, and political instability.

the correct answers are:

a - pacific plate;

it is the biggest oceanic tectonic plate. surrounded on all sides by continental tectonic plates, it is submerging and gradually becoming smaller and smaller.

b - north american plate;

huge continental plate, occupying big portion of the northern hemisphere.

c -eurasian plate;

alongside the north american plate, it is one of the two dominant continental plates in the northern hemisphere.

d - indian plate;

a small continental plate, that has been part of gondwanaland initially, but after the break up of it, moved towards northeast and pushed into the eurasian plate that was once part of laurasia.
