The correct answer is C. Oil

Explanation

The Amazon rainforest is one of the richest ecosystems of Earth, due to the biodiversity of species of animals and plants. This ecosystem is the source of many resources including water, oxygen, and medicines. Indeed, due to processes such as water, the enormous vegetation and the rainfall pattern of this place,  the Amazon rainforest provides water to various sectors of the world. Also, this rainforest is abundant in medicinal plants, that have been discovered by scientists with the help of native communities. Moreover, due to the immense amount of vegetation and trees in the Amazon rainforest, it is considered the world's lung, because it is a reservoir of oxygen.

Despite this, the Amazon rainforest is not an important source of oil and does not provide oil all around the world as even though it is believed oil could be extracted from this zone. The exploitation of oil is limited in this zone due to the damage this could cause. Also, in the world other regions such as Saudi Arabia, Canada or Iran are the main sources of oil. So, the correct answer is C. Oil.

2. Landforms associated with longshore drift form where the sediment is plentiful enough to create them.

3. When there is longshore drift, the overall direction of sand transport is parallel to the coast..

4. In order to produce longshore drift, the direction of waves must not be perpendicular to the coast.

5. A baymouth bar forms when longshore drift creates a ridge of sand separating a waterway from the ocean.

6. The direction that sediment is traveling along a coast is called the downstream direction.

Explanation:

Waves forms different kinds of land form in the coastal areas. Waves hit coast in a particular angle It is known as wave refraction. When sediments get deposited in the coastal areas and forms a bar which get detached from the shore is called long shore bar.

To create long shore drift the direction of wind should not be perpendiular to the coast. Direction will be parallel. A baymouth bar is formed when a ridge of sand is created and separates the waterway from ocean. Sediments travel along the coast in downstream direction.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Fewer methamphetamine labs are being operated and/or discovered in the United States.

Explanation:

Although it is difficult to establish a definite conclusion without more information, from what we do know there are few seizures of methamphetamine labs. This could be due to a reduced presence of attempted seizures, to an overall decrease in the number of labs, to more efficient means of hiding the labs from the authorities or to the increased importation of finished products from other countries.
