Answer: The result of the efforts by the United States and Canadian governments to improve water quality was the GLWQA.

Explanation:

The GLWQA, is also known as the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. This agreement was put into place to implement actions and binational priorities that will improve the water quality of the Great Lakes. They help to restore the Great Lakes and protect the waters shared by the United States and Canada.

Explanation:

The Great Lakes water quality agreement was signed between the two countries look up on degrading water quality and prevent any further damage. For this they had to keep, algal growth and excessive amount of phosphorus that was mixed in water, under check .

Excessive Phosphorus and algal growth can affect the wildlife and aquatic life of the region. The nutrient levels and the Phosphorus levels where balanced to revamp the lakes from already damages done.

Which describes the boundary where earthquake activity occurs along rift valleys?

Andreyy89

Answer:

divergent boundary on land

Explanation:

Divergent boundary involves the crustal spreading of two tectonic plates. Divergent boundary is the separation or rifting apart of two plates. Divergent boundary can occur between oceanic plates or continental plates.

Divergent boundary between oceanic plates , the convection currents lift the lithosphere producing a mid oceanic ridge. Extensional forces spreads the lithospheric plate apart causing an in flow of magma from the interior of the earth. The magmatic materials travels through fissure and oceanic ridges to the surface of the ocean floor. The volcanic material/magma later solidifies to form new oceanic crust with the youngest rock closest to the mid oceanic ridge.

Divergent boundary between continental plates , the convection current usually pull the continental plates upward due to the thickness of the continental plates. The continental plates are pulled thin by the extensional forces resulting to fracture. The fracture result into a rift shaped structure. Rift valleys are formed which is a lowland region. The two parts of the continents(lands) that are separated are likely to develop fault on both sides of the rifts. The fractured area along the rift valley is a region prone to earthquakes.

Rift valley are structures found in divergent boundary between continents(land) and are region of earthquakes activities because of movements and fracturing occurrence. The East African rift is an example of this kind of plates boundary.
