C - Countries are increasingly independent for food supplies.
Explanation:
Answer:
The costs of non-sovereignty are high.
European countries are increasingly vulnerable to external pressure that prevents them from exercising their sovereignty. This vulnerability threatens the European Union’s security, economic health, and diplomatic freedom of action, allowing other powers to impose their preferences on it.
To prosper and maintain their independence in a world of geopolitical competition, Europeans must address the interlinked security and economic challenges other powerful states present – without withdrawing their support for a rules-based order and the transatlantic alliance. This means creating a new idea of “strategic sovereignty”, as well as establishing institutions and empowering individuals that see strategic sovereignty as part of their identity and in their own interest. Most fundamentally, the EU needs to learn to think like a geopolitical power.
Not at all. Aftershocks are much weaker and have less energy than initial earthquakes due to the energy having been spent on the earthquake itself. However aftershocks are unpredictable and don't always happen, so they could possibly do more damage, but they do not have greater impacts than initial earthquakes.
My opinion.
The correct answer is - groundwater.
The freshwater is represented with only 3% of the total water reserves on the planet. Further more, most of the freshwater is actually frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the poles and their close proximity, and that water accounts for around 87%. The rivers and the lakes do provide freshwater, but they only account for 1% of the total freshwater reserves, not to mention the fact that big portion of them are heavily polluted and can not be used for drinking at all.
The groundwater though, is much less polluted, is easy to extract and to use, and it accounts for around 12% of the total freshwater reserves, which makes the prime candidate for usage.
