<span>The best answer is (d) water from snowmelts. The American Southwest has many mountains that catch moist air moving westward (from the Pacific) that falls as snow during the winter. The snow melts gradually during the spring and summer when there is little precipitation. The melted snow runs off the mountains into rivers and streams that can be tapped by irrigation pumps. The snowmelt also sinks into the ground, replenishing underground aquifers that can be tapped by wells in the valleys where farming takes place.</span>

Which statements BEST describes a command economy? Resources are owned by the government. Capitalism is a type of command econom
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The correct statements are:

- <em>Resources are owned by the government;</em>

The command economies are typical for the socialist/communist countries. In this type of economy, the government controls everything, the resources of the country, the production facilities, trade is organized by the government officials, the planning for production of when, how much, and how, is done by government officials... Unfortunately for the people living in this types of countries, this type of economy very often led to big problems, especially in the food supply department.

- <em>Little changes from generation to generation;</em>

This can be seen as trait of both command and traditional economy. In the command economy there are little to no changes as the time passes, so from one generation to another, the changes will either be lacking, or they will be so minor that they will be unnoticeable.

How did glaciers change the land of the Northeast region
Alekssandra [29.7K]

“Glaciers not only transport material as they move, but they also sculpt and carve away the land beneath them. A glacier's weight, combined with its gradual movement, can drastically reshape the landscape over hundreds or even thousands of years. The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacial landforms.” nsidc.org
