Geography
1 answer:

<h2>Broken down of soil particles by the processes of weathering and erosion, carried by the action of wind, water, ice or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.</h2><h2 />

Explanation:.

Sediment enriches the soil with nutrients and rich in biodiversity. This soil works great for farming. The deposition of sediments makes the agricultural areas like deltas and river banks more fertile.

Glaciers carry a huge range of sediment with several sizes. With continues deposition, space for the  animal and plant life gets reduced.

The most dangerous part is that the animal’s may suffocate and intervention may occur with their food intake.

How stable is the quantity and quality of freshwater supplies in the United States?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The United States has a good amount of freshwater supply over most of the territory, because the American territory is ripe with lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.

The quality of these water sources varies from area to area, and many water bodies have been deeply polluted by human activity. However, the United States is a developed country with generally good  water treatment facilities.

Notwithstanding, the United States faces two important challenges: one is the growing population of the country, which will put more pressure on freshwater sources in the future. The other one is that a few areas of the country are devoid of water supply sources, and they are among the fastest growing regions of the U.S (Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico). This poises a great challenge for U.S. authorities in the near future.

HI, HELP

Answer:

A carbon tax aims to make individuals and firms pay the full social cost of carbon pollution. In theory, the tax will reduce pollution and encourage more environmentally friendly alternatives. However, critics argue a tax on carbon will increase costs for business and reduce levels of investment and economic growth.

The purpose of a carbon tax

The purpose of a carbon tax is to internalise this externality. What this means is that the final price of the good should include the external costs and not just the private cost. It is similar to the ‘polluter pays principle.‘ – which was incorporated into international law at the 1992 Rio Summit. It simply means those who cause environmental costs should be made to pay the full social cost of their actions.
