Mexico's location, climate, and physical features can be seen as natural resources, a very important ones. The location gives it a perfect location between the two continents and makes a trading rout, also it's location gives it multiple climate types. The climate makes it a desirable tourist attraction, also in the south and the coastal region on the east it has a lot of rain, the water is one of the most important resources in the world, the rivers are full all over the year so they can be used for producing energy, irrigation, drinking, fishing, while the more central part and the northern part that is arid and very sunny are excellent for getting energy from the sunlight. The physical features also contribute to the tourism, the central plateau made out of volcanic rocks has a fertile soil excellent for agriculture, but it's elevation also makes it very suitable place for human settlements.

Why are ocean fossils found on top of the rocky mountains?

Anna35 [415]

Let's start from the beginning.

Millions and millions of years ago, planet Earth was absolutely crowded with volcanoes. 

As you may know, volcanoes release steam and gasses. 
As the years went by, the gasses released from volcanoes formed the atmosphere around the planet, which prevented the steam from disappearing into outer space. 
The steam eventually, in cycles, began to fall back to Earth. Viola, rain had just been "invented". 

As more and more rain fell, considering almost every surface of the planet was volcanic, the water began to build up and "flood" the planet. Many active volcanoes had now been transformed into underwater volcanoes. 

As more and more years went by, eventually, bacteria in the water slowly began to evolve, first into jelly-fish like creatures, then tadpole-like creatures, leading all the way up to large ferocious underwater reptiles, amphibians and fish. 

As the planet started to warm up, probably by methane gasses released from the prehistoric underwater creatures, the water levels on Earth began to drop again. At the same time, the active underwater volcanoes were creating new landmasses, either by lava cooling on the surface of the water or tectonic plates pushing the volcano above sea level. 

So, this, is how fossils of sea creatures ended up in high land-based mountains. 
Because millions of years ago, most of Earth was underwater until the water levels dropped or lands "grew" higher. 
The Rocky Mountains were once underwater. 

If you take a look at images of the Grand Canyon in the United States, you'll see that it resembles the deep caverns and canyons that you find at the bottom of oceans. 
That's because the Grand Canyon WAS at the bottom of an ocean.

What are two steps you would take to make your city or suburb a more sustainable place? Why would these steps make your home mor

mafiozo [28]

The town is which I live is Negotino, Republic of Macedonia. The is located in the driest part of the country, so it is very common that there's problems with water during the warmer part of the year. The landscape is mostly dominated by two things, vineyards and barren land which has the characteristics of a is semi-desert, so the town, and the municipality as whole, lacks in wood as well.

My two suggestions for making the town and the surrounding area more sustainable would be:

1. Planting the whole barren land with wild or semi-wild apricots

The wild and semi-wild apricots thrive in this climate, do not need any maintenance, don't have problems with high temperatures and droughts, nor with very low temperatures. From those apricots, the fruits can be used for production of juices and kompots, selling them for much lower prices in the municipality and throughout the country, so the municipality can get a significant income, income that can be used for improving the town's infrastructure and any projects. The shells of the apricots are excellent for heating, thus can be distributed to the households throughout the town as a material for heating during the winter. The trees will also contribute to better air quality and lower the effects of the strong winds.

2. Construction of water collectors

Construction of water collectors will be extremely useful, considering the semi-arid climate in the area. The water collected during the spring and autumn can be used for all sorts of things in the town, thus minimizing, or maybe even eliminating the water problem during the drier parts of the year.

How does pollution effect the water cycle?

garik1379 [7]

Water cycle is effected by pollution, whether it is water pollution or air pollution. Air is polluted by Suspended Particulate Matter and by different harmful gases like Sulphur dioxide etc. These gases react with water vapours in the sky, making the water in the clouds acidic. This acid falls as rain water causing acid rains. This acid falls in ponds, on land, in fields, causing harm to us and to the crops as well as to the fishes or creatures in water. When the water evaporates from ponds, rivers and oceans to make water vapour, the the water in these water bodies becomes more acidic, and again when acid rains occur, this acid again mixes with the water of the water bodies, which already has acid, causing the water to become more concentrated.
