Earthquakes occur in the crust or upper mantle of the earth
Answer:
C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.
Explanation:
A. Most of earth's freshwater is found in lakes and rivers.
Although lakes and river are one of the surface water that house the highest percentage of fresh water (about 0.3%) but most of the earths fresh water are not found in lakes and rivers but are found in ground water and ice caps and glaciers. This statement is definitely not true.
B. Almost half of the water in the U.S. is used for mining and industry.
According to USGS(US geological survey) most water usage in the US is for thermoelectric power and irrigation followed by public supply before the use for mining and industry comes in. The statement is wrong to say almost half of the water in the US is used for mining and industry.
C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.
Fresh water in ground water constitute about 30.1 % fresh water found in the earth. In fact some of the fresh water found on surface water bodies like rivers migrated from ground water. Groundwater is the largest reservoir of usable fresh water. The statement is correct and it is true.
D. Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves in most other liquids.
Water is regarded as a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid not because it dissolve in most other liquids.
The correct answer is - D. Materials are transported through erosion and are dropped in another location.
The process of deposition basically is a process in which the materials are left, dropped, deposited somewhere. This process needs two other processes to occur first in order for it to be possible. The first one is the weathering, the process in which the materials are broken down into smaller pieces. The second one is the erosion, the process in which the material is moved away from its initial location. Once the material is moved by certain agents (wind, water for example) it will eventually stop moving because of the loss of force of the agent. Once the agent losses its force it will not be able to carry the material anymore, thus the material will be dropped off, or rather deposited at those places.
Given:
62% of the residents visit Comet Mall.
73% of the residents visit Star Mall.
48% of the residents visit both malls.
To find:
The probability that a resident chosen at random shops at either Comet Mall or at Star Mall.
Solution:
Let A be the event that the residents visit Comet Mall and B be the event that residents visit Star Mall. Then, we have
We need to find the probability that a resident chosen at random shops at either Comet Mall or at Star Mall. It means, we have to find the value of 
.
We know that,
On substituting the given values, we get
Therefore, the probability that a resident chosen at random shops at either Comet Mall or at Star Mall is 87%.
