Pre-Cambrian metamorphic (narrow outcrop east of the Great Salt Lake) and igneous rocks are the oldest represented on the map. The youngest rocks are Quaternary salt flats found mainly south-west of the Salt Lake. Intrusive rock outcrops can be found in different areas on the map. Outcrops can be observed southeast of Richfield, south-east of Ceder Clay and North of Lake Powell. Coal is the fossil fuel type present in the Green River and Price area.

Which items describe possible solutions to air pollution?
Radda [10]

Following are the correct options for this question:

  • Build more windmills
  • Develop cost-efficient solar energy
  • Improve gas mileage in cars
  • Reduce the use of nonrenewable energy sources

Any undesirable change occurs in the air due to addition of pollutants is called air pollution. The major air pollutants are sulfur dioxide which is released from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and from factories. Bedsides, sulfur dioxide dust and smokes are other pollutants. Building of more wind mills and developing low cost solar energy will reduce air pollution as they will provide clean energy and will reduce dependency on coal burning in thermal power plant. Improving as mileage in cars will also reduce emission of sulfur dioxide, hence reduce air pollution. Building of more wind mills and developing low cost solar energy are renewable source of energy, will reduce use of nonrenewable energy sources such as fossil fuels.
