Answer:

Improved agricultural practices have led to increased productivity, decreased organic production, increased health risks, increased water pollution, and increased profits.

Explanation:

Since the turn of the 20th century, agriculture has experienced numerous changes and is much different nowadays than it used to be. This has been due to rapid technological development, which has also improved agricultural practices. The improvements have been in every sphere, from the protection of the plants to create more resistant and plants that have higher productivity, better irrigation, mechanization, bioengineering, and at the end of it all it has led to higher profits.

The developments in genetics have led to the creation of plants that are more resistant to diseases and have higher productivity. The pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides have all helped in the protection of the pants and destruction of pests, which further led to an increase in production, but their usage has also led to pollution of the soil and water. Unfortunately, the usage of chamicals has led to increased health risks, and significantly lowering the organic production which was dominating before.

Summer is the hottest time of the year because it is when your location is closest to the sun. Which in the pictures provided the only one in which North America is closest to the sun is the last picture. Also the earth rotates on an inclined axis so pictures 2 and 3 would not be valid.

Why isn't there a huge deep sea trench next to California like there is next to South America?

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Deep-sea trenches generally lie seaward of and parallel to adjacent island arcs or mountain ranges of the continental margins. They are closely associated with and found in subduction zones—that is, locations where a lithospheric plate bearing oceanic crust slides down into the upper mantle under the force of gravity.

Explanation:

"The result is a topographic depression where the oceanic plate comes in contact with the overriding plate, which may be either oceanic or continental. If the overriding plate is oceanic, an island arc develops. The trench forms an arc in plan view, and islands with explosive volcanoes develop on the overriding plate. If the overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression appears to follow the outline of the continental margin. Explosive volcanoes are found there too"
