Answer:

In glaciers, North and South poles and some lakes.

Rest if possible may be found in the groundwater aquifers, hidden in remote and cut off lace of the world.

Antarctica and arctic alone consist of a huge share of freshwater in the world which is stored in ice forms. While 97% of oceanic water is saline not fit for drinking.

Various techniques are available for desalination of water but most of it not suitable for long term use. As it may have bacteria and harmful effects on the body. Due to climate change release of methane gas and other harmful greenhouse gases are quickly melting and depleting the freshwater r

2. Iran has one of the largest petroleum reserves in the world. Just like Iraq, it also became a major exporter of crude oil. However, due to wars and sanctions, export revenue declined.

3. Kuwait is a tiny country that is rich in oil. It's largest industry is "petroleum industry," and it is owned by the government.

4. China is considered to be the largest gold-producer in the world. Although it only has a few gold reserves, many people are into gold-mining.

5. Next to China is Russia. It is second when it comes to the accumulation of gold, yet it is only in 6th position when it comes to gold reserve.

6. Australia is perceived to overtake China's position in the coming years as the largest producer of gold in the world. This is because of Australia's cost-effective mining and plans for major expansion.

Which of the above boundaries can produce volcanoes?

kykrilka [37]

Convergent boundaries or destructive plate boundary due to subduction, is an actively deforming area where two or more tectonic plates of the lithosphere move towards one another and collide. As an effect of pressure, plate material and friction melting in the mantle, volcanoes and earthquakes are common near convergent boundaries. Subduction or continental collision is created when two plates move towards one another, depending on the nature of the involved plates. During these collisions (between two continental plates) Himalayas and large mountain ranges are formed.

Use the diagrams to explain what must be done to add fractions worth different denominators.

artcher [175]

To add fractions with different denominators you must convert the denominators into the lowest common factor. Aka the multiple they all go into. You then times the numerator by what you timsed the denominator by to make sure they both have the same denominator.
Example:

2/5+4/10

They both go into 10.

4/10+4/10= 8/10. 2 became 4 because 5x2=10.

I hope this helped!

You could also simplify 8/10 into 4/5z
