A. 

The aim of a tax on a valuable resource, in this case residential water use, is to reduce wasteful practices. In this case the county is considering a special tax when residential water use is ABOVE a certain amount. This is an effective mechanism to reduce wastage by causing high users to incur more cost. Everyone will still pay for their water consumption in the normal way (typically by a $/unit cost), however the tax will take effect when the residential water consumption reaches a certain point. This penalises high users of water by forcing them to pay more for a valuable resource. Note that essential services like energy and water are often subsidised in society. This means that we do not pay the true cost associated with the use of the resource. Setting a tax that applies to those that consume over a certain threshold helps to reduce wastage of an undervalued essential resource such as water or energy.

After decomposition in the carbon cycle, put the following steps in order.
hodyreva [135]

The correct answer is after decomposition in the carbon cycle, it is first fossil fuels or vulcanic eruption, respiration, and photosynthesis.

Explanation

The carbon cycle is the way that carbon circulates through the atmosphere, oceans, and the Earth's surface and interior through chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes. This cycle is very important because carbon is present in all elements of the Earth. Decomposition is the stage in which organisms (plants and animals) break down and are absorbed by the soil. After millions of years, the carbon contained in these organic wastes becomes the mineral coal that is exploited in mines and extracted for use as fossil fuels, another part of this compound mixes with the processes of the lithosphere and is expelled. in volcanic eruptions. Also, once absorbed by the soil, it feeds the plants that serve as food for different animals that use it for one of their basic processes such as respiration. Once in the atmosphere, the plants absorb carbon again to make their photosynthesis. Therefore, the correct order of the steps of the carbon cycle is Fossil fuels, respiration, photosynthesis.
