The correct answer is - A. land to sink.

Mexico City is a huge city, the second biggest in the world in fact, and it is a city that has been built over the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. The problem is that it is actually built over a drained lake. Because relatively recently there was a lake present in that area, the soil is very soft and labile, and there's lots of groundwater reserves bellow it. By taking out the water of the groundwater reserves, big spaces are opening up inside the ground, and the soft sediments from above can not sustain the weight on top of them, so the land starts to sink.

2c. How much daylight would there be on Dec 21 in the northern polar regions?
kupik [55]

Answer: None, it would be 24 hours of darkness

Explanation:

This is because December 21st marks the astronomical start of winter for the northern hemisphere with the winter solstice. During this season the days are shorter than the nights, and as we get closer to the North Pole, we will have up to 24 hours of darkness.

That is why on December 21st, the sun is not visible for 24 hours and the next days (the closer it is to the north pole) it will stay that way. Therefore, the inhabitants of this area will have longer periods of darkness.
