Different fields of geography will provide a different perspective on how to prepare for the future. For example, climatologists will be familiar with the use of climate change scenarios to plan for the future. Economic geographers will be familiar with models that can forecast the growth of cities within a network and interregional or international trade. Geographers with an interest in water and land resources and soils can help plan for the sustainable use of these resources. However, beyond this, many geographers have expertise in more than one area, and can bring an view of the future that integrates different areas, such as water resources, urban growth, land use change and climate change.

In addition to this integration, geographers begin with a map, and this grounding in spatial patterns has prepared them to understand processes that can change these patterns rapidly and the long-term stability of other spatial patterns.

2-1. Point A is at elevation 2690 feet and is located 520 feet due north of point B which is at elevation 2220 feet. Point C is
meriva

Answer:

In the given topography, point A is the northern side at a height of 2690 feet. B is at a height of 2220 feet and location C has a height of 2340 feet. A and B are separated by a horizontal distance of 520 feet, B and C are separated by a horizontal distance of 250 feet and C is located at N35°E of point B.

From the above data, we can demarcate the topography of the area. The area is inclined towards the southern side as when we move from point A to C and C to A the elevation gradually decreases.

Thus, <u>the exposed rock unit in that area dips towards the South and the strike direction of this rock is the East-west direction.</u>

Dip is defined as the angle made by a rock bed with respect to a horizontal line and strike refers to the direction of the line that is formed due to the intersection between a rock surface and a horizontal plane.

Dip and strike always perpendicular to one another.

Which of these are the two major sources of nitrate pollution in rivers? the burning of fossil fuels by factories and cars anima
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

animal wastes and fertilizers

Explanation:

The majority of the nitrates that are polluting the rivers come from the animal wastes and from the fertilizers used in the agriculture. The increased amounts of nitrates in the rivers causes eutrophication. This basically means that the water is becoming over-saturated with nutrients. This leads to the spreading out of the algae. As the algae spread out more and more, they cover the surface part of the water, so large portions of the rivers do not receive sunlight, which kills of the organisms that use photosynthesis. Further, the algae reduce the amount of oxygen in the water, often resulting in dying out of the fishes. It is a chain reaction that leads from one thing to another and the end result is devastating.
