Answer:
The United States has a good amount of freshwater supply over most of the territory, because the American territory is ripe with lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
The quality of these water sources varies from area to area, and many water bodies have been deeply polluted by human activity. However, the United States is a developed country with generally good water treatment facilities.
Notwithstanding, the United States faces two important challenges: one is the growing population of the country, which will put more pressure on freshwater sources in the future. The other one is that a few areas of the country are devoid of water supply sources, and they are among the fastest growing regions of the U.S (Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico). This poises a great challenge for U.S. authorities in the near future.
The inner core is mainly made up of hot metals
Schist has the highest metamorphic grade.
Answer:
ISCO-DUG-WUAZ
Explanation:
Seismic waves of an earthquakes is recorded first in the station closest to the earthquake. The P wave is the faster moving wave and then the S wave. The faster the time it takes the P and S waves to register in the seismographer the closer the station to the site of the earthquake. Bearing this in mind, the wave was first registered in ISCO making it closest to the earthquake site, followed by DUG and then WAUZ.
ISCO (14sec)-DUG (57sec)-WUAZ (73sec)
Answer:
An eon
Explanation:
The first broad division of the geologic timescale is the eon. Others are Eras, Periods and Epoch.
Eons are the most broad and the largest of divisions of the timescale. There are two categories of the eons which are:
- Hadean eon
