Answer:

Explanation:

The Clean Air Act of 1970 and the amendments since then have done a great job in requiring people to clean up the air over the United States. Emissions of the six major pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act, carbon monoxide, lead, nitrous oxides, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulates, have decreased by more than 50%. Cars, power plants, and factories individually release less pollution than they did in the mid-20th century. But there are many more cars, power plants, and factories. Many pollutants are still being released and some substances have been found to be pollutants that were not known to be pollutants in the past. There is still much work to be done to continue to clean up the air.How can air pollution be reduced? Using less fossil fuel is one way to lessen pollution. Some examples of ways to conserve fossil fuels are:

Riding a bike or walking instead of driving.

Taking a bus or carpooling.

Buying a car that has greater fuel efficiency.

Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use.

Using energy efficient light bulbs and appliances.

Buying fewer things that are manufactured using fossil fuels.

Write a short note on Himalayan rivers and Peninsular rivers.​
blagie [28]

Himalayan rivers are enduring, whereas peninsular streams are periodically and dry up in summertime as they are conditioned upon precipitation. Himalayan rivers originate much abrasion and have a magnificent flow of liquid, whereas peninsular rivers generate much less attrition and also have a lower flow of water.

The Himalayan Rivers:

The Himalayan Rivers are the rivers that originate from the Himalayan mountain ranges. These rivers are snow-fed; they receive water from the melting ice of the glaciers as well as from the rains. The three main Himalayan Rivers are the Ganga, the Indus, and the Brahmaputra. These three rivers flow towards the West and collectively form the Himalayan River System. These rivers are also known as three different river systems as they have many tributaries.

These rivers are very long and generally cover thousands of kilometers before emptying into the sea. These rivers are perennial in nature as they flow throughout the year. They have larger basins and catchment areas. Furthermore, the mouth of these rivers, the point where they meet the sea, form large deltas, e.g. the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta is the biggest delta in the world.

The Peninsular Rivers:

The peninsular rivers are the rivers that originate from the peninsular plateaus and small hills of India. These rivers are seasonal or non-perennial as they receive water only form the rains and thus cannot maintain water flow throughout the year. Some of the famous peninsular rivers include Kaveri, Narmada, Tapi, Krishna, Mahanadi and Godavari. As compared to Himalayan Rivers, these rivers are shorter, do not have high erosion activity, and have smaller basin and catchment areas. Furthermore, peninsular rivers are consequent rivers as they follow the direction of the slope.

Based on the above information some of the key differences between the Himalayan Rivers and the Peninsular Rivers are as follows:
