The groundwater is being discharged faster than it is being recharged is the data suggested.

Option D

<h3><u>Ex planation:</u></h3>

Ground water level is the level of underground storage of water above the impermeable rock layer. The underground water is getting filtered through different layers of permeable rocks before it enters the final layer. So it’s fresh and ready to be consumed as it is taken out. Thus for centuries, it’s being used as the source of drinking water.

But with increasing population, the ground water is being consumed at the rate very faster than it can be refilled from different sources like precipitation, rivers and other water bodies. So its level tends to get lower and lower as this continues until the point it gets finished.

You will develop a brief portfolio detailing the history of tsunamis in a modern society that could be used to teach others.
Maru [420]

The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.

What is the relationship between genes DNA and proteins
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Although you might have heard people talk about a gene for red hair, green eyes or other characteristics, it's important to remember that genes code for proteins, not traits. While your genetic makeup does indeed determine physical traits like eye color, hair color and so forth, your genes affect these traits indirectly by way of the proteins created via DNA.

Hopefully, this answer helped! :D
