The town is which I live is Negotino, Republic of Macedonia. The is located in the driest part of the country, so it is very common that there's problems with water during the warmer part of the year. The landscape is mostly dominated by two things, vineyards and barren land which has the characteristics of a is semi-desert, so the town, and the municipality as whole, lacks in wood as well.
My two suggestions for making the town and the surrounding area more sustainable would be:
1. Planting the whole barren land with wild or semi-wild apricots
The wild and semi-wild apricots thrive in this climate, do not need any maintenance, don't have problems with high temperatures and droughts, nor with very low temperatures. From those apricots, the fruits can be used for production of juices and kompots, selling them for much lower prices in the municipality and throughout the country, so the municipality can get a significant income, income that can be used for improving the town's infrastructure and any projects. The shells of the apricots are excellent for heating, thus can be distributed to the households throughout the town as a material for heating during the winter. The trees will also contribute to better air quality and lower the effects of the strong winds.
2. Construction of water collectors
Construction of water collectors will be extremely useful, considering the semi-arid climate in the area. The water collected during the spring and autumn can be used for all sorts of things in the town, thus minimizing, or maybe even eliminating the water problem during the drier parts of the year.

Answer:
The seafloor is younger at the mid-ocean ridge, and as it gets further away from it is older and older.
Explanation:
The seafloor and its characteristics is one of the best evidence when it comes to the theory of plate tectonics. This was first noticed by Alfred Wegener and later by any other scienticsts that have been interested in this theory. Basically, the evidence lies in the fact that the seafloor is the youngest at the active mid-ocean ridge, and the further it is from it it gets older and older, with the oldest seafloor being found at the subduction zones.
The reason for this is the manner in which the seafloor forms. The high activity in the mantle below manages to break the crust of a preexisting plate and divide it. It pushes enormous amouns of magma toward the surface constantly for millions of years. The magma quickly solidifies and creates new seafloor as it gets in touch with the water. The magma that comes through pushes the already consolidated one aside and the process goes on for millions of years.
