No campo político, o nascimento do Estado moderno definiu o marco da centralidade territorial e institucional do poder político.
Esta é certamente a instituição política mais importante da modernidade, responsável pela delimitação do território para o exercício
do mando e da obediência, segundo normas e leis estabelecidas e reconhecidas como legítimas, sendo possível legalmente a
coerção física em caso de desobediência. (CASTRO, Iná Elias. Geografia e Política – Território, escalas de ação e instituições. Rio de Janeiro,
Ed. Bertrand Brasil, 2005, p. 111).

Os brasileiros possuem 13% da área do Paraguai e pouco mais de 20% da terra arável. Mas é deles a melhor terra agrícola e
pecuária. Um bom exemplo é a produção de soja, o principal produto de exportação. O Paraguai se tornou o quarto maior exportador
de soja do mundo. A safra 2011/2012 chegou a 9 milhões de toneladas, crescendo a uma taxa de 20% anual. O que pode dar uma
ideia do poder econômico dos fazendeiros brasileiros no Paraguai.
Mas o fato de que se tenham instalado na fronteira tem grande impacto social e econômico. Em alguns distritos fronteiriços, como Nueva Esperanza ou Canindeyú, 58 e 83% dos proprietários são brasileiros, respectivamente. Isto facilita o contrabando e o controle da segurança das fronteiras, que é estratégica para a soberania de um país. Esse processo de ocupação territorial dilui as fronteiras a favor do país e do Estado mais poderoso e enfraquece ainda mais o país que tem cada vez menos instrumentos e capacidades de controlar sua riqueza. (ZIBECHI, Raúl. Brasil potência. Entre a integração regional e um novo imperialismo. Rio de Janeiro: Consequência, 2012, p. 257-258)
A partir do texto acima e dos conhecimentos de Geografia, considere as seguintes afirmativas:
1. O texto destaca a importância da presença de produtores brasileiros de soja para o crescimento econômico do Paraguai.
2. O texto mostra a importância que a produção agrícola tem na dinâmica da geopolítica mundial.
3. Na fronteira entre Brasil e Argentina a situação se inverte: são os argentinos que ocupam percentagens altas das terras aráveis brasileiras mais próximas da linha de fronteira.
4. A expansão internacional dos produtores agrícolas brasileiros não acontece apenas no Paraguai, mas também em países como Bolívia, Uruguai e Angola.

Geografia
Os escorregamentos, também conhecidos como deslizamentos, são processos de movimentos de massa envolvendo materiais
que recobrem as superfícies das vertentes ou encostas, tais como solos, rochas e vegetação. Estes processos estão presentes
nas regiões montanhosas e serranas em várias partes do mundo, principalmente naquelas onde predominam climas úmidos. No
Brasil, são mais frequentes nas regiões Sul, Sudeste e Nordeste. (TOMINAGA, L.K. Escorregamentos. In.: Desastres naturais: conhecer e
prevenir. Cap. 9, p. 27-38. Org.: TOMINAGA, L.K.; SANTORO, J. AMARAL, R. Instituto Geológico, São Paulo, 2009).
Sobre esses processos, considere as seguintes afirmativas:
1. Os escorregamento consistem em importante processo natural que atua na dinâmica das vertentes, fazendo parte da evolução do relevo terrestre, principalmente nas regiões serranas.
2. Nos grandes centros urbanos, os escorregamentos assumem frequentemente proporções catastróficas, uma vez que cortes nas encostas, depósitos de lixo, entre outras ações promovidas pelo homem geram novas relações com os fatores condicionantes naturais.
3. É necessário que o ser humano deixe de devastar as florestas, impermeabilizar os solos e contaminar os rios para que não mais ocorram os escorregamentos.
4. A origem vulcânica do relevo brasileiro gerou um conjunto de serras propícias para os escorregamentos, que acarretam grandes prejuízos e perdas significativas, inclusive de vidas humanas.
Assinale a alternativa correta.

Segundo a previsão climática publicada pelo Centro de Previsão do Tempo e Estudos Climáticos do Instituto Nacional de
Pesquisas Espaciais (CPTEC-INPE) em 19/07/2012, “a previsão é de que as águas superficiais do Oceano Pacífico tropical
evoluam para um padrão anomalamente mais aquecido, dando indicação da evolução de condições de neutralidade para
condições típicas de um fenômeno El Niño durante os meses de agosto, setembro e outubro de 2012”.
Considere a relação dos seguintes efeitos climáticos com o fenômeno El Niño:
1. Aumento da probabilidade de tsunami para as áreas costeiras brasileiras.
2. Seca severa para a região Sul e precipitação abundante para a região Nordeste do Brasil.
3. Enfraquecimento dos ventos alísios na região do Pacífico Equatorial.
4. A célula de Walker fica bipartida e mais próxima da costa oeste da América do Sul.

Reading the world in 196 books
By Ann Morgan (Photo: Darren Russell) – BBC - 15 July 2013
I used to think of myself as a fairly cosmopolitan sort of person, but
my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels
and the odd Australian and South African book, my literature
collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly
ever tackled anything in translation. My reading was confined to
stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country (well, all 195 United Nations (UN) recognised states plus former UN member Taiwan) in a year to find out what I was missing. With no idea how to go about this beyond a sneaking suspicion that I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.

I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted
me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistan’s Ak
Welsapar and Panama’s Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works
otherwise unavailable to the 62% of Brits who only speak English. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles behind me,
however, sourcing books was no easy task. For a start, with translations making up only around 4.5 per cent of literary works published
in the UK and Ireland, getting English versions of stories was tricky.
But the effort was worth it. As I made my way through the planet’s literary landscapes, extraordinary things started to happen. In the hands of gifted writers, I discovered bookpacking offered something a physical traveller could hope to experience only rarely: it took me inside the thoughts of individuals living far away and showed me the world through their eyes. More powerful than a thousand news reports, these stories not only opened my mind to the nuts and bolts of life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.
And that in turn changed my thinking. Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe, I realised I was not an isolated person, but part of a network that stretched all over the planet. One by one, the country names on the list that had begun as an intellectual exercise at the start of the year transformed into vital, vibrant places filled with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me – places I could identify with. At its best, I learned, fiction makes the world real.

Reading the world in 196 books
By Ann Morgan (Photo: Darren Russell) – BBC - 15 July 2013
I used to think of myself as a fairly cosmopolitan sort of person, but
my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels
and the odd Australian and South African book, my literature
collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly
ever tackled anything in translation. My reading was confined to
stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country (well, all 195 United Nations (UN) recognised states plus former UN member Taiwan) in a year to find out what I was missing. With no idea how to go about this beyond a sneaking suspicion that I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.

Climate change: forecast for 2100 is floods and heat ... and it’s man’s fault
By Nick Allen
9:04PM BST 16 Aug 2013
Climate scientists have concluded that temperatures could jump by up to 5°C and sea levels could rise by up to 82 cm by the end of the century, according to a leaked draft of a United Nations (UN) report.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also said there was a 95 per cent likelihood that global warming is caused by human activities. That was the highest assessment so far from the IPCC, which put the figure at 90 per cent in a previous report in 2007, 66 per cent in 2001, and just over 50 per cent in 1995.
Reto Knutti, a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, said: “We have got quite a bit more certain that climate change is largely man-made. We’re less certain than many would hope about the local impacts.” The IPCC report, the first of three in 2013 and 2014, will face intense scrutiny particularly after errors in the 2007 study, which wrongly predicted that all Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035.
Almost 200 governments have agreed to try to limit global warming to below 2°C above pre-industrial times, which is seen as a threshold for dangerous changes including more droughts, extinctions, floods and rising seas that could swamp coastal regions and island nations. Temperatures have already risen by 0.8°C since the Industrial Revolution.
The report will say there is a high risk global temperatures will rise by more than 2°C this century. They could rise anywhere from about 0.6°C to almost 5°C a wider range at both ends of the scale than predicted in the 2007 report. It will also say evidence of rising sea levels is “unequivocal”. The report projects seas will rise by between 30 cm and 82 cm by the late 21st century. In 2007 the estimated rise was between 18 cm and 58 cm, but that did not fully account for changes in Antarctica and Greenland.
Scientists say it is harder to predict local impacts. Drew Shindell, a Nasa scientist, said: “I talk to people in regional power planning. They ask, 'What’s the temperature going to be in this region in the next 20 to 30 years, because that’s where our power grid is?’ We can’t really tell.”
