Answer:
A. 3180
Explanation:
Point X has an elevation of approximately 3180 meters. We can make this estimate by looking at the contour lines. The two basic contour lines bellow and above point X are with values of 3000 and 3250. Since point x is between these two, it means that it is higher than 3000 meters, but lower than 3250 meters. we see that from the basic contour line at 3000 meters, to the basic contour line at 3250 meters there's fine contour lines, thus each contour line represents 50 meters of elevation. Pint X is located between the third and fourth contour line above 3000 meters, thus it is between 3150 and 3200 meters, and since it is in the middle between them, it is safe to assume that it has an approximate elevation of 3180 meters.
Answer:
1. griculture uses 85 percent of water in this region. It is common to misuse land by heavy irrigation in the Middle East. In the area droughts are more frequent, and contribute to the changing landscape. The overuse of water in agriculture is affecting the countries' already undersized water resources.
2. Desalination plants are an overuse of water resources in the Middle East. Seventy percent of desalination plants in the world are located in this area, found mostly in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain. While the plants produce water needed for the arid region, they can manufacture problems for health and the environment. The seawater used most in desalination plants has high amounts of boron and bromide, and the process can also remove essential minerals like calcium. Also, the concentrated salt is often dumped back into oceans where the increased salinity affects the ocean's environment.
3.A report from the Emirates Industrial Bank in 2005 said that the UAE had the highest per capita consumption of water in the world. Additionally, for the past thirty years the water table of this region has dropped about one meter per year. At this current rate, the UAE will deplete its natural freshwater resources in about fifty years. Even with a large amount of desalination plants to reduce water deficiency, the UAE needs to adjust its water use habits before its energy consumption doubles in 2020.
