In which area would surface water most effectively infiltrate into the local groundwater system?

Geography
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Infiltration depends greatly on the features of the soil. If the soil has excessive clay or mud, water will not find a way into the groundwater system and will remain as surface water.

An alluvial fan is a perfect location for this since there will be little or no resistance to the flowing water. The streams are already a connection with the groundwater system, and falling water will flow directly to it.

Beach erosion is generally the result of what physical process?
Paladinen [302]

The correct answer is - B) wave erosion.

The beach erosion is a direct result of the wave action on the coastline. The waves are very powerful when it comes to erosion, and this is because they have big power, and also the chemical components of the water that are very effective too.

The sheer power of the waves contributes to the direct breaking of the rocks into smaller pieces over time, while the water itself, is reacting with the rocks on a chemical level and slowly decomposes them. As the rocks are getting smaller and smaller because of the erosion, the tiny fractions of sand particles are forming the beaches along the coastlines.

Acidic water containing chemicals and heavy metals from an abandoned coal mine has washed into a nearby river. All of the follow
Romashka [77]

Answer: An erosion of soil which enters waterways

Explanation:

Acidic water is more poisonous to human, animal and plant life so if acidic water were to wash into a river that humans drink, the health risks posed to those humans would increase.

If there were plants and animals connected to the river, the risks to them would increase as well and disrupt their life cycle.

Acidic water does not make water more or less capable of soil erosion so the water being acidic would not contribute to soil erosion.

How many of the products or foods you use daily come from Asia’s many resources, industries, and ecosystems? Give examples of on
Alex

Answer:

<em>Many of the products I use are from Asia's resources, especially food. </em>

<em> TWO EXAMPLES: rice (comes from Thailand) and fish sauce (aka "nouc mam") that comes from Vietnam. </em>

<em>The utilization of Asia’s natural resources has depended, to a large extent, not only on the development of technology but also on political circumstances. Thus, until the end of World War II and the beginning of the process of decolonization in Asia, most Asian countries were not free to develop their own natural resources independently and without reference to the economic interest of a colonial power. Cultural attitudes also have affected the utilization of resources. In India cultural taboos prohibit the slaughter of cattle either for food or to conserve resources when the animals are no longer productive.</em>
