Answer:

difference:

1. The generation mechanism is different, the mechanical wave is generated by mechanical vibration; the electromagnetic wave generation mechanism is also different, there is the periodic movement of electrons (radio waves); the outer electrons with atoms are generated after being excited (infrared, visible, ultraviolet) The inner electrons with atoms are generated after excitation (roentgen rays); the nuclei with atoms are generated after excitation (gamma rays).

2. The propagation mechanism is different: the mechanical interaction between the particles and the alternating induction of the electromagnetic field.

3. Mechanical waves have both transverse waves and longitudinal waves; electromagnetic waves are material waves and belong to transverse waves.

4. The influence of the medium on the propagation speed is different

Selling food locally increases sustainable use of the land because crops can be rotated more easily. What is another benefit of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

A. Less CO2 emitted from transportation

Explanation:

The other answer options don't make as much sense, since it would basically be from farm to table, answers B and D don't make sense. As for C, farmers would probably end up making more and if not the same, because they'd be able to directly sell a higher percentage of their yieldings from the crop because little to no transportation is required (less bruised or damaged goods) and the store or supermarket they sell it in wouldn't be taking a percentage of their earnings.
