Basically physical and chemical weathering (do not confuse with erosion, which involves movement) contribute to the destruction of mineral forms. In this case it breaks down the rocks, minerals and soils, creating slopes and hills. It may be caused by (any form of) water, wind, gravity, waves or sunlight.
Answer:
The statement is true. Las Vegas, Nevada, has seen a great increase in the demand for water since it is one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S.
Explanation:
Las Vegas is the most populous and most densely populated city in the state of Nevada. It is located in the south of the state, in Clark County.
According to the 2010 national census, the city itself has 583,756 inhabitants, and its metropolitan region has about 1.9 million inhabitants. It is the 30th most populous city in the United States and is considered to be the fastest growing city in all of North America.
Population growth was especially marked in the 1990s, when the population went from a little over 200,000 people to more than 500,000. This brought a consequent lack of resources due to the desert location of the city, which was solved only with investment in infrastructure by the state government.
Answer: a. True
Explanation:
In the pursuit of acquiring more fresh water, fog harvesting was introduced. It is a way to capture fog which is water vapor that is condensed but close to the surface. Fog has the tendency of reverting to water's liquid form when it comes into contact with objects.
Collecting water from fog involves using a net where the water will collect and fall due to gravity into a conduit such as a trough or gutter that will then take it to a storage tank.
