Answer:  1.3\times 10^{10} pounds

Explanation:

Given:

Number of Americans = 325 million =325\times 10^6

Average american consumes meat = 18 kg per year

325 million american consumes meat = \frac{18}{1}\times 325\times 10^6=585\times 10^7kg per year

The conversion used from kg to pounds:

1 kg = 2.205 lb

585\times 10^7kg=\frac{2.205}{1}\times 585\times 10^7=1289.925\times 10^7lb

Thus 1.3\times 10^{10} pounds of meat is consumed by the total U.S. population every year.

Climatological cause of a drought
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The increase in drought is caused by many factors: shortfalls in precipitation; earlier snow melt; a shift away from light and moderate rains towards short, heavy precipitation events; and increased evaporation from soil and vegetation due to higher atmospheric temperatures, all of which have been driven at least in part by climate changes.

natulia [17]

Answer:

Denver

Explanation:

Denver, Colorado, is the city from the list that has the least chances to have a tropical wet/dry climate. This city actually has summers that are considered as mild, with the temperatures being in the the lower 30's C degrees, while the night temperatures drop to twice less than the daily temperatures. The winters on the other hand, are cold and snowy, which is not a trait of the tropical climates, but instead of the continental climate types, with the temperatures regularly being bellow the freezing point throughout the winter months.

Which type of volcano is shown in the image?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

D. Fissure

Explanation:

On the image, we have a fissure. The fissure is a linear volcanic vent through which there are eruptions occurring. The fissures are connected with the volcano, but they can be tens of kilometers away from the volcano, or even more. This makes them very dangerous, as they can occur pretty much everywhere around the volcano, suddenly erupting from bellow the ground, making explosions, cracking the ground, and causing fires.
