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.

Answer:

Corteza renal, médula renal y pelvis renal.

Explicación:

Hay tres regiones principales del riñón, es decir, corteza renal, médula renal y pelvis renal. La corteza renal es la parte externa del riñón que se compone de glomérulos y túbulos contorneados. La corteza renal es responsable de la protección de las estructuras internas del riñón. La médula renal es la parte más interna del riñón que se divide en pirámides renales. La médula renal es responsable de la regulación de la concentración de orina. La pelvis renal es la región donde se unen los dos o tres cálices principales. La pelvis renal actúa como un embudo para la orina que fluye hacia el uréter.
