Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The removal of natural vegetation would affect the growth of the dunes in a negative way for the family. While it may seem to them like a good idea to uproot the local vegetation, this would be a grave mistake since beach vegetation is largely responsible for protecting the integrity of the beachfront and protecting it from rampant erosion by wave action.

Another unexpected consequence would be the changing patterns of dune movements since vegetation also anchors dunes.

Answer:

c)  Removing the sand may increase beach erosion, and the area may suffer nearshore flooding.

Explanation:

  • It's since the removal of the sand along the beaches shores will result in more erosion and thereby the increase chances of the flooding along the beaches and this can have serious damage to the ecology of the surrounding areas.
  • Thus there is a risk of high tides and the risk is also associated with the development of large tidal inlets and the occurrences of large storm waves.

Answer:

No water source is available that can be used for the production of energy from water.

Explanation:

Solar energy, energy from water, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, and wind energy are used to produce electricity on Earth. All these sources are present in large amount on earth but on Mars all sources are available except water so that energy from water can't be produced. It has low temperature of the soil so no production of geothermal energy occurs. Water and oxygen for the survival of humans are important which are not available on Mars which are the potential problems that need to be solved.
