Which process cause wells on land to become saline making them unusable for drinking water

Geography

Serga [27]3 years ago

Answer:

C. Ground water infiltration

Explanation:

Ground water infiltration can cause wells on land to become saline making them unusable for drinking water.

When rain falls down, it will sip into the ground. It might encounter minerals (like salt) along its path and dissolve them until it reaches a reservoir.

That reservoir could be the well itself, but it's most likely it will be another natural reservoir nearby, in which the salt and minerals concentration will raise gradually... then that second reservoir will somehow connect with the well, contaminating its water.

Answer:

  1. Reduced snow accumulations
  2. Earlier snowmelt in the Spring
  3. Spring flooding
  4. Less water in streams
  5. Reduced water availability

Explanation:

Less snow will fall in Winter due to the higher temperatures and, thus, will not accumulate. When there is less accumulated snow on the ground and the snowpack is thinner, then the snowmelt will occur earlier and faster in the Spring.  

Quicker snowmelt in the Spring will result in rivers overflowing their banks because they cannot hold such a rapid influx of water. Rapid water cycle runoff will cause Spring flooding.

The snowpack will, therefore, be depleted early in the Spring season, and due to the earlier and faster snowmelt, there will be less water in the streams during the Summer.

The consequential lack of slow mountain snowmelt during the summer season will result in rivers flowing much less vigorously and with less volume over water. This means that downriver communities will face summer water shortages.

Which dance does NOT come from the Caribbean?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Jaribe tapatio

Explanation:

Jarabe, folk dance for couples, popular in central and southern Mexico, notably in Jalisco state. Derived in colonial times from Spanish popular music and such dances as the seguidillas and fandangos, it was also influenced by native Mexican couple dances imitating the courtship of doves.

Think of salsa, mambo, and calypso. They're all part of Caribbean dance, which involves vibrant music and moves.

Rumba, also spelled rhumba, ballroom dance of Afro-Cuban folk-dance origin that became internationally popular in the early 20th century. Best known for the dancers' subtle side to side hip movements with the torso erect, the rumba is danced with a basic pattern of two quick side steps and a slow forward step.

Rumba is universally recognized as the dance of love. It is danced to slow, sensual music with a Latin beat and features a hip action known as “Cuban Motion.” Rumba is derived from the Afro-Caribbean dance “Son” and has been popular in this country as a ballroom dance since the 1930's.
