Wetlands are important for all of the following reasons except option D

Explanation:

Wetland is a ecosystem which contain water that is present either seasonally or permanently and this water body is rich in species diversity as the water body contain high amount of minerals.w

They are natural detoxifier as they have the capability to reduce the effect of harmful substance that may enter into the ponds, lakes or other water body thus it is also called as the natural kidney of ecosystem.

How are the land form of the eastern United States and Canada different from those of the western United States and Canada?
Marina86 [1]

The landforms on the east and western part of the continent are very different, with the main reason being that the western part is geologically very active, while the eastern lacks geological activity.

Explanation:

The eastern part of the United States and Canada, or rather the eastern part of the North American continent, is a region that lacks geological activity for millions of years. This region can roughly be divided into two parts, one being dominated by the Appalachian Mountain Range, and the other being the plains. The Appalachians are medium high mountains, being heavily eroded, with smaller slopes, and covered with dense forests. The plains stretch along the coastline, but they are also very wide, and move several hundred of km into the mainland, making big portion of this region flat lowlands.

The western part, on the other hand, is geologically very active. There are several young mountain ranges which are still growing. There is volcanic activity, faults, and plateaus between the mountains. The coastal plains are very small and narrow. Because of the shadow effect, between the mountains there are arid zones where deserts and steppes dominate.

How would heath care affect infant mortality rates and contraceptive use?​
denis23 [38]

Answer with explanation:

  • Infant mortality rates would decrease. Greater quality or more widespread health care makes medical experts more accessible, so more people would have access to doctors and high-quality resources when their infant needs it.
  • A greater population would use contraceptives. Health care makes health supplies more accessible. More people would be able to afford and attain some form of contraceptives.
