What is known about the pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle today?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Hi! i'm a bit rusty on this but here's what i remember. There is theory stating that a huge crystal pyramid lies 2,000 meters below the Bermuda Triangle. The theory shares that the pyramid was discovered in 2012, and most think that the crystal pyramid was the cause of the disappearance of many ships and airplanes. A scientist named Dr. Verlag discovered the crystal pyramid, and claimed that it is supposedly three times the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Dr. Verlag presented her new discovery at a conference in the Bahamas where she shared the coordinates, but there is no record of the coordinates she had claimed to have announced. Hope this helps!

In what way does water scarcity harm the economic development of an area?
amm1812

Answer:

Explanation:

Agricultural growth is vital in an economy. An economy runs off people producing things. Water is vital for land in order to grow things. Farming is harder in deserts. No food, no people. There is a reason there are more cities near rivers and coasts than in deserts. Due to scarcity of water, economic growth is more challenging. Exceptional cases such as Las Vegas have a steady water supply from the Hoover Dam.
