Geography

NeX [460]3 years ago
5 0

The limestone caves at Carlsbad Cavern were formed by hydrogen-sulfide-rich (H2S) waters. This water moved through fractures and faults in the limestone and mixed with rainwater along the way. The mixture gave rise to a substance known as sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Sulfuric acid is able to dissolve limestone, eventually creating Carlsbad Cavern. The process of cave formation ended roughly four million years ago.

What are *TWO* measures introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of gas?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Two measures that have been introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of  gas are the introduction of light-rail and the use of carpool lanes.  

Explanation:

The introduction of light-rail will reduce the consumption of gas from personal vehicles and also reduce personal vehicle carbon emissions. One example is the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Los Angeles has a system that combines light rail and heavy rail called Metro Rail. The use of carpool lanes will reduce the use of gas and help to reduce traffic congestion because there will be less cars on the road in high traffic areas where there is a large percentage of the population who commutes to and from work on freeways. Carpool lanes or High Capacity Vehicle (HCV) lanes are found in metropolitan areas like Washington DC.
