Redistricting is the process by which new congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn. All United States Representatives and state legislators are elected from political divisions called districts. District lines are redrawn every 10 years following completion of the United States census. The federal government stipulates that districts must have nearly equal populations and must not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity.[1]

Answer:
2000m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Rate of regional erosion = 2 m per 1000years
Unknown:
Amount of regional erosion in 1, 000, 000 years.
Solution:
If it takes 1000 years for regional erosion to remove 2m of earth
then, in 1, 000, 000 years, the amount of regional erosion will be: 
⇒ 2000m
In a million years to come, 2000m of earth would have been eroded as a result of regional erosion.
Answer:
The largest portion of earth is the mantle... If you're talking about Earth's surface it's water...
Good Luck!!!
