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.

lara [203]

Answer:B. Intensity

Explanation:

The Intensity of an earth quake refers to the noticeable and severity effects of damage on man made structures, natural(crops and livestock) and human life at different locations. To measure the intensity of an earthquake, the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is used and consists  of 12  levels of intensity(in roman numerals) that  rank the extent of damage based on observable effects with the higher levels based  on structural damage.  

A Level I -V1 Intensity on the scale will show slight damages to properties and treatable injuries to people, but going higher on the scale above VI  shows total damage and destruction to structures and human life.
