Geography

The correct answer is - a. land to sink.

Mexico City is a very city, it is fact the second largest city in the world. It's sheer size means that all the things built by the people are putting a lot of pressure on the land itself.

Considering the fact that Mexico City is built on a place where until relatively recently there was a lake is a big concern. The soil is very soft for starters, and also there's lot of groundwater reserves very close to the surface. By removing the groundwater, big gaps, empty spaces, inside the ground, and close to the surface, are opening. The soft sediments are not able to sustain the pressure, so the land is sinking.

For a named river you have studied, explain the causes of flooding.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Severe flooding is caused by atmospheric conditions that lead to heavy rain or the rapid melting of snow and ice. Geography can also make an area more likely to flood. For example, areas near rivers and cities are often at risk for flash floods. A flood is an overflow of water onto land that is normally dry. River flooding can happen when there is debris in the river or dams that block the flow of the water. Speaking of dams, broken dams are another cause of flooding. Older infrastructure can fail when heavy rains come and water levels rise.
