Iceland is one of the least populated countries in the world. It is located at the North Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe, with an area of 103,000 km2 and a population of 348,580. To answer this question lets take a look at each statement:

A) it is the only place to get a job in the Icelandic fishing industry. - False - The Capital Region comprehends the majority of the population, but fishing-related jobs can be found as well as in every coastal city in the country.

B) it is the only part of the country that is habitable. - False - The southern part of the country make up more than 60% of the population, but the other percentage is distributed in other sides of the country, in the east, west, and in the north as well.

C) most people prefer to live in moderate climates.  - True - The climate in the south is remarkably subpolar oceanic, while in the rest of the Island the Tundra climate dominates. In addition, the south coast, where most of the Icelandic population lives, is warmer, wetter and windier than the North.

D) people don't want to live near active volcanoes in the north. - False - The highlands of Iceland, a plateau that covers most of Iceland interior is inhabited because of the poor quality of the soil, resulted from volcanic desertification, not actually active volcanoes.

Which gives us, C is the right answer.

the answer as multiple choice is c

africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the mediterranean sea, the red sea, the indian ocean, and the atlantic ocean. it is divided in half almost equally by the equator. the continent includes the islands of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.

africa’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.

the origin of the name “africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. most believe it stems from words used by the phoenicians, greeks, and romans. important words include the egyptian word afru-ika, meaning “motherland”; the greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”

today, africa is home to more countries than any other continent in the world. these countries are: morocco, western sahara (morocco), algeria, tunisia, libya, egypt, sudan, chad, niger, mali, mauritania, senegal, the gambia, guinea-bissau, guinea, sierra leone, liberia, côte d’ivoire, ghana, burkina faso, togo, benin, nigeria, cameroon, central africa republic, equatorial guinea, gabon, congo, democratic republic of the congo, angola, namibia, botswana, south africa, lesotho, swaziland, mozambique, zimbabwe, zambia, malawi, tanzania, rwanda, burundi, uganda, kenya, somalia, ethiopia, djibouti, eritrea and the island countries of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.
