The correct answer is A) coal deposits.
During the Late Carboniferous, Indiana lay close to the equator, making the climate humid and warm. Swamps and wetlands were prominent in much of the state. Dominant fossil plants from this time include lycopods, conifers, and seed ferns (extinct gymnosperms). Plant material accumulated in these areas of Indiana and eventually became the source of Indiana’s abundant coal deposits.
During this time, rivers drained the remnants of the Acadian mountain. Large amounts of sand stayed on the banks of the rivers. Scientists and archeologists working in the zone have found fossils of bryozoans, crinoids, gastropods, and brachiopods. There many carboniferous rocks in the southwestern territories of Indiana.
The number representing the beginning of the Reconstruction is 10, mostly in reference to the Ten Percent Plan.
This was a programme annonced by President Abraham Lincoln before the end of the Civil War, in 1863.
This reconstruction plan would allow a Confederate state to form a new local government and be readmitted to the U.S. Congress if 10% of their citizens agreed to take an oath of loyalty to the Union. These 10% would also receive amnesty.
The Ten Percent Plan also suggested a transition from slavery to freedom for newly-freed black laborers by making them work for one year on Louisiana plantations, being paid $10 a month.
The pressure to loosen clean air standards is based in allegations that the standards affect industry development and economy because the adjustments require further modernization and some industry even need to change their whole machinery or line production to be able to meet the legal requirements, as for the car industry, slowing down production or increasing costs.
In short-term that is very likely to be true, the industry will have to do some investment, but the price will be lower than the long-term cost of keeping up polluting the air.
The clean air standards should not be loosen because loosen the standards will benefits only specific groups and temporary, later and in other domains the loosen of the standards will affects human and other animals quality of life and environment. The economic impact will be seen later on healthy sector, food sector as agriculture and livestock, in nature disaster and in the lack of natural resources due to dramatic landscape changes.
We should not think about just economic impact of now when taking this decisions but we should consider systematic risks and consequences of supporting the loosen of clean air standards.
We must keep in mind that some process in nature are irreversible and when one action as the pollution of air is impacting towards things we will not be able to revert anymore the cost will be much higher in future than is now to adapt to the clean standards.
