Answer

Hi,

The correct answer option is {A}

Explanation

River Yangtze of China has cities lined up along its banks.This means that waste water and other solid waste matter from the cities could be deposited into the river causing water pollution.The industries along the river might release warm water and untreated waste water including harmful chemicals into the river increasing the pollution.In such a case, aquatic life will be at risk and some rare species of fish could die and completely become extinct.

Hope this Helps!

Which of the following is NOT true of dry lands? Areas too dry for farming cover about 20 percent of the Earth's surface Deserts
umka21 [38]

Answer:

No agriculture can take place in dry lands due to lack of water.

Explanation:

This is the statement that is not true of dry lands. It is true that dry lands are generally not suitable for large-scale agriculture. However, this does not mean that no agriculture can take place in them. People who have lived in dry lands for generations often farm in a small scale. Moreover, they grow crops that are resistant to this lack of water. Finally, some dry lands are significantly productive due to the use of artificial irrigation.
