East Asian nations have imposed tariffs and other trade barriers to protect their industries, but these barriers have slowed economic growth.
The major threat that North Korea poses for the region is that North Korea's nuclear weapons program undermines peace and security.
China's geography contributes to the environmental hazard shown by wind carrying air pollution to dense urban centers and smog settling in heavily populated lowlands.
China has tried to solve the problem of damage from earthquakes and tsunamis by building hydropower dams, such as the Three Gorges Dam.
In the first question, the answer is "slowed." East Asian nations imposing tariffs and other trade barriers is generally seen as a policy that slows economic growth.
For the second question, the major threat that North Korea poses for the region is that its nuclear weapons program undermines peace and security. So, option A is the correct answer.
Regarding the third question, the answer is "B. Wind carries air pollution to dense urban centers, and smog settles in heavily populated lowlands." China's geography contributes to this environmental hazard by allowing wind to transport air pollution from industrial areas to densely populated areas, where smog settles due to the geographical features such as lowlands.
Lastly, in the fourth question, the problem that China has tried to solve by building hydropower dams, such as the Three Gorges Dam, is the "damage from earthquakes and tsunamis." The construction of dams helps manage water flow and control potential damage caused by natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. So, option D is the correct answer.
Yes, 1 is slowed.
What about the other answers?
