Answer:
Coal: 7.4 billion tonnes
Explanation:
The World Coal Association estimates that there are more than one trillion tonnes of coal reserves worldwide, enough to last 150 years at current rates of production, so it is unsurprising to see coal ranked as the most-mined mineral in the world.
While China has consistently led the world in production – the country was responsible for 3.3 billion tonnes in 2016 – this was down 16% from the 3.9 billion tonnes produced in 2012. Chinese coal output slumped below the 3.4 billion tonne-threshold predicted in 2016 and the trend may continue, as renewable energy sources become more widespread.
The Chinese decline has mirrored a trend in worldwide coal production, which fell to 7.4 billion tonnes in 2016 from 8.2 billion in 2012. While coal production has increased in Australia and Russia in the last five years, both South Africa and the US have seen sharp declines in production of anthracite and bituminous coal. American coal production in particular has fallen from over 900 million tonnes in 2012 to 782 million in 2016, the lowest figure since 1979.

Answer:
A. because clasts fall out of the glacier in size progression
Explanation:
Glacial outwash deposits layered because clasts fall out of the glacier in size progression. Glaciofluvial sediments are stratified deposits of sand and gravel, glacialy derived, but deposited by streams flowing from the glacier
The correct answers are: II and IV.
''Single-family farms are making higher profits'' and ''mechanized farms require a larger labor force than traditional farms'' are the two statements that are not true about the modern day agriculture.
Single-family farms are not making higher profits, thy are in fact making much less profit, and especially in the developed countries this type of farms are systematically brought to minimum and are on the verge to stop existing.
Mechanized farms do not require larger labor force, totally opposite, they require much less labor force. The whole point of the mechanization is to lower the requirements for labor force and increase the speed and efficiency of the work, so this made it possible that much fewer people to be able to do much more work with the help of the mechanization.
