The negative effects of geological structures in our environment can be landslides occurring on unfavorably oriented geological structures causing damage and sometimes loss of life on highways and railways, for example.A positive effect of geological structures is that where there are subduction zones, mineral deposits can form above them on the adjoining continents like in British Columbia on the west coast of North America. Also, faults and fractures can allow hydrothermal fluids charged with metals to form ore deposits.

Answer: subduction zone (pro) land sliding (con)


Explanation: The negative effects of geological structures in our environment can include land sliding. As a matter of fact, it is a major problem because it usually occurs in mountainous areas, and when land sliding does occur, it causes major damage and loss of lives as well.

The positive effects of geological structures in our environment can include land subduction zones, where mineral deposits can form above them.

Why do otters love ice?
Sonja [21]

To survive, otters need clean water in a relatively special, undisturbed environment.

That, and their small numbers  over a large area, made them very vulnerable to pollution, habitat destruction and historic unregulated fishing. Unlike most people, sea otters  like to cool their feet. In fact, their ice consumption is so high that Den Blå Planet has decorated the otter's enclosure with its own ice machine, so they always have a cold treat close at hand.

From the Vancouver Aquarium: Sea otters usually catch hard-shelled food - clams, abalone, clams, crabs... If they are too hard to break with their teeth, they crush them with a rock or against a rock. This is what this sea otter (Elfin) does when it hits the ice on a rock.
