South Africa's location makes it a key spot for renewable energy in the forms of wind, hydroelectric and solar, as it is on the peninsula of the continent it has access to many of these rich resources. There is also a great deal of industry in South Africa, particularly in the mining of metals, as one of the country's largest exports. This extraction uses huge amounts of energy in the process and most of this equipment used in the extraction pumps toxic gases and chemicals into the atmosphere, if SA uses more renewable energy sources, the levels of pollution will decrease.
Tenacious qualities necessary for a historian
The sequence of events that can lead to magma becoming soil is C. crystallization followed by exposure and weathering. Under these circumstances it may happen that magma actually turns to soil - it cools off so much that it becomes the ground we walk upon.
If the coast-to-coast distance is about 2900 miles, it will take about ...
... (2900 mi)/(186000 mi/s) ≈ 15.6 ms
for the signal to travel coast-to-coast at light speed.
_____
There are time delays due to the amplifiers and repeaters required in the path, and due to the fact that the signals don't actually travel at the speed of light in a wire.
A test of internet speed between Seattle and Washington, DC shows a round-trip time of about 87 ms when traffic is light. Modern communication channels tend to be faster than the telegraph (especially when measured in words per minute).
Erosion. Sand is carried across the land through deposition where during the process many rocks along the way are reshaped.
