Answer:
Quaternary period
Explanation:
The last Ice Age on Earth occurred during the Quaternary period. This Ice Age only ended around 10,000 years BC, so very recently. During this period, big portions of the Earth were under ice, with approximately half of North America, as well as half of Eurasia being covered in ice. The mountains around the globe too were covered in glaciers. Because there was so much water trapped in the ice sheets and glaciers, the sea levels were much lower, which opened up lot of land-bridges between the islands and continents, which turned out to be crucial for the human migrations around the globe.
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.
Answer:
A. Karsty Topography
Explanation:
Karsty topography is characterized by numerous caves, sinkholes, fissures, and underground streams and it is usually found regions of high rainfall where bedrock consists of carbonate-rich rock, such as limestone, which is easily dissolvable
You can conclude that Florida lacks in bedrock because sinkholes form where there is low amount of such.
