Just as climate has affected the settlement and agricultural activities of humans, likewise, humans have extensively modified the physical environment. Such modifications have been facilitated by globalization and urbanization. Human action such as the operation of industrial plants and power generating facilities has increased acid precipitation. Acid rain has the potential to damage forests, kill fish, and damage lakes. Excessive use of water is depleting ground water systems and creating water resource shortages.

Answer 1
Just a patreob will make it come true
Answer 2

The statement which is true is that, "Whereas the Southwest region in U.S. generally has extremely high water resource vulnerability, acid rain is a major issue on the East Coast."

What do you mean by water resource vulnerability?

The water resource vulnerability is defined as the tendency of water resource systems to break down because of the external influences. Vulnerability of water resources includes two aspects- sensitivity and adaptability of water resource systems to external driving factors.

The water resource vulnerability includes vulnerability of water quality and quantity. Thus, because of the climate change and human activities, human society is facing water resources shortage, frequent natural calamities, and a series of problems which leads to the increase in the vulnerability of water resource systems.

What is acid rain?

Acid rain is a form of precipitation which is unusually acidic, with acidic components such as sulfuric or nitric acid which falls to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms. This includes- rain, hail, snow, fog, or even dust that is acidic.

Which part of the U.S. is most affected by water resource vulnerability?

The part of the United States which is most affected by water resource vulnerability is the Southwestern region of United States. This region stemmed mainly from consumptive uses whereas the vulnerability in watersheds of the southern US was due to changes in flooding, water quality issues, and other uses.

Which part of the U.S. is most affected by acid rain?

The region of the United States which is most affected and harmed by acid rain is the East Coast, including the Appalachian Mountains and the Northeast Some.

Thus, acid rain occurs naturally, but when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from smokestacks combine with rain they tend to make sulfuric and nitric acid in amounts which harm the environment.

Hence, option B is correct.

Not all areas on Earth's surface receive the same amount of radiation because Earth's surface a. is flat has continents on it b. is curved d. is mostly water Please select the best answer from the choices provided C С D​

Answers

Answer:

Earth's surface receives different amounts of solar radiation because it is curved.

Explanation:

Earth, like all planets, is curved, or rather it has a round shape. More specifically, Earth has a generalized elliptic shape, though if we go into detail then it is a geoide. Such a shape means that not all parts of the planet can get the same amounts of solar radiation because of the different angles at which the sunlight falls on the surface.

The areas that are located around the equator are the ones that receive solar radiation at direct or close to direct angle throughout all of the year. This is results in a large concentration of the rays and the surface hits up. On the other hand, around the poles, the solar radiation that is received comes at very low angles. This results in a wide dispersal of the rays so the surface doesn't heat up enough and that is why the temperatures are always low.

Which of the following events was NOT a cause of the Russian Revolution?

A. poor working conditions in cities

B. Czar Alexander II's limited reforming

C. government policy known as "Russification"

D. adoption of Marxism

Answers

Answer:

B   but don't be surprised if it is D.

Explanation:

Russification was a thorn in the side of the rulers. People do not like giving up their culture. It was a cause.

The cities were poor -- especially after the disaster they suffered in WWI. The nobility was not liked. That was a cause.

Czar Alexander may have been slow to reform, but he was not the main culprit. I think this is an answer you should consider carefully. (B)

I would use the adoption of Marxism. That was not made official until After Lenin came to power. The vocabulary was often used by the leaders, but most of the peasants didn't know it's meaning.

The answer is between B and D. I would pick D, but I think you are intended to answer B.

Explanation:

Hope this helps

The types  of currents shown here are called the Convection currents.

What are the Convection currents?

The convection is a process of heat transfer by the movement of fluids (gas or liquid) between regions of various temperatures. If convection occurs naturally it is called natural convection or free convection. If convection  is forced to occur, say, if fluid is circulated using a pump r a fan, it is called forced convection.

Convection currents are generated by the differences in densities of the fluid that occur due to the temperature gradients. The  activity that results from the continuous replacement of the heated fluid in the area of the heat source by the nearby present cooler fluid is called a natural convection current.

The convection current cannot take place in solids.

D. Balkan Peninsula

Answers

Answer:

the answer is Crimean peninsula

Answer:

Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine  

Explanation:

Russian Expansion and Political Interference

After the Cold War ended, the United States and its European allies began to view Russia as less of a security concern. Instead, they looked for ways to cooperate politically and economically with the former adversary. This period of relative peace was broken in 2014 when Russian military forces moved into and occupied several eastern Ukrainian provinces and the region of Crimea. Russia has taken on a more aggressive role in the world, largely under the leadership of Vladimir Putin.

Putin, a former KGB foreign intelligence officer, rose to power and became prime minister and president of Russia. Putin has used his power to increase Russia's economy and has sought to regain the former glory and power of the Soviet Union. The standard of living has risen under his regime, and he is thought to be widely popular. However, there's also a question as to how reliable Russian elections and favorability ratings are. Free speech continues to be limited in Russia, and protests are discouraged through increased fines and even prison time. Corruption has become more widespread, as well. Russia spends proportionately more on its military than the United States. Cyber-warfare and espionage form one of the nation's most effective means of attack. The FBI has confirmed that Russia was responsible for intervening in the US 2016 election. In 2020, President Putin ordered amendments to the Russian constitution that would allow him to remain in power past term limits until 2036, signaling that Putin's Russia will continue to be a force to resolve.
