Answer:

C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.

Explanation:

A. Most of earth's freshwater is found in lakes and rivers.

Although lakes and river are one of the surface water that house the highest percentage of fresh water (about 0.3%) but most of the earths fresh water are not found in lakes and rivers but are found in ground water and ice caps and glaciers. This statement is definitely not true.

B. Almost half of the water in the U.S. is used for mining and industry.

According to USGS(US geological survey) most water usage in the US is for thermoelectric power and irrigation followed by public supply before the use for mining and industry comes in. The statement is wrong to say almost half of the water in the US is used for mining and industry.

C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.

Fresh water in ground water constitute about 30.1 % fresh water found in the earth. In fact some of the fresh water found on surface water bodies like rivers migrated from ground water. Groundwater is the largest reservoir of usable fresh water. The statement is correct and it is true.

D. Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves in most other liquids.

Water is regarded as a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid not because it dissolve in most other liquids.

Which of the following does not hinder agricultural production in China? A. China does not have enough arable land. B. All of Ch
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The fact that China has a large and growing population does not hinder its agricultural production.

Explanation:

China is one of the three biggest agricultural producers in the world, alongside the United States and India. The country has had a long history of being either the biggest or one of the biggest agricultural producers in the world and it has retained that status in modern times, and in fact, it is now more than ever that it needs to be. China is the most populous country in the world and on top of that the standard of living has been rising, so consumption has been increasing.

This puts China in a situation where it will have to be very innovative to be able to satisfy the demand on its own market in the near future. The arable land is located almost entirely in the eastern part of the country, as the rest is dominated by high mountains, high plateaus, and deserts, and China has already made steps into converting the deserts into green areas. The infrastructure too will need to be improved so that transportation is easier and losses minimized. One thing that China doesn't have a problem with when it comes to agricultural production is the labor force, as the population and thus the labor force are the largest in the world, so there are more than enough people to work in agriculture.
