Which best describes the relationship between the United States and oil?

Geography
1 answer:
Scilla [17]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

What began in the late 1800s as a love of oil (and the  potential wealth oil brings) has turned to a love-hate relationship  with oil. Oil has a wealth of uses, but also a wealth of  consequences.

  • The United States uses one-quarter of the world's energy.
  • The United States is the second-largest producer of oil in the  world.
  • The United States imports more oil than any other country.
  • The United States suffers from a blind and selfish dependency  on oil.
  • The United States struggles with ending its dependency on oil, especially when lobbyists fight this.
  • The United States argues with itself over off-shore oil  drilling. Catastrophes would truly be catastrophic, but the "oil race" continues.

Explanation:

The government of a consumer state has a vested interest in protecting the government of oil-producing states.

Why is water incapable of carving the grand canyon
givi [52]
Water IS capable of carving the Grand Canyon. The river in the middle of the canyon eroded the ground and, over millions of years, deepened the Canyon to the one we know today. The reason it doesn't seem to be deepening is because it takes a very, VERY long time.

Hope this helps!
