Where does the water that flows into mono lake

History
1 answer:
daser333 [38]3 years ago
8 0

Why is Mono Lake water so salty? Mountains surround Mono Lake forming a closed hydrological basin--water flows into the lake, but it doesn't flow out. The only way for water to leave Mono Lake is through evaporation. Four vertical feet of water can evaporate off of Mono Lake during the course of a year, and without fresh water streams to replace the evaporated water there would be no lake. Freshwater streams and underwater springs have brought trace amounts of minerals into Mono over the eons. Because the lake has no outlet, it is naturally saline. An estimated 280 million tons of solids are dissolved within the lake, and it is 2-3 times saltier than the ocean depending on its water level fluctuation over the years. Periodic eruptions of volcanic ash have also added considerably to Mono's chemical mix.

Why were materials such as scrap iron, rubber, and aluminum recycled during the war?
Setler79 [48]

The correct answer is “They were used to make ammunition and explosives”

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, US joined the WWII. Many commodities such as rubber and cloth were precious and the government encouraged American citizens to contribute across the country and give rubber, unused clothes, nylon and silk stockings, and any leftover fat to make jeep tires, cleaning rags, parachutes, and explosives.

Metal was a vital material to make tanks and ammunition. Because of that, people donated pans, old tractors, iron fences, trolley tracks, anything that could be transformed into ammunition, tanks, and explosives. This actually didn’t help a lot but brought citizens together as a patriotic unity.
