Answer:

Chemical pollution, open waste dumping, deforestation are some of the most concerning environmental issues in present-day Mexico.

Explanation:

Most industrial waste released out of the factories in Mexico, especially chemical waste, is unadministered and thus pollutes the environment in an irrevocable manner.

Open waste dumping is another threat to people's health and to the regional environment. The rate of use of firewood as a fuel in Mexico is terrifying.

In cities like Oaxaca in the central Mexico region, a household on an average uses 12kg of firewood to cook food and heat water. This has taken a heavy toll on the forests and has been one of the main reasons behind massive deforestation in the region.

Moreover, it is also causing air pollution that is again responsible emergence of serious health hazards.

Vast, circular to elliptical dark-colored areas on the moon called maria represent:___.

irina [24]

Vast, circular to elliptical dark-colored areas on the moon called maria represent very large impact craters filled with basaltic lava.

As the brightest and largest object in our night sky, the Moon softens the axial wobble of our home planet, making it a more habitable planet, resulting in a relatively stable climate. It also causes the tides, creating rhythms that have guided humans for thousands of years.

Without the Moon, a day on Earth would only last 6 to 12 hours. A year can be more than 1000 days. This is because the earth's rotation slows down over time thanks to gravity (or the gravitational pull of the moon). Without it, the days would fly by.
