<u>North Atlantic Ocean</u>
Explanation:
- Gulf stream that forms the extension of the North Atlantic drift and is a warm ocean current that stretches through the tip of Florida and flows through the eastern coast of the United States and reaches the Newfoundlands before crossing the Atlantic ocean and is known to reach the Mexican gulf also.
- At 40°0′N 30°0′W, it separated into two streams as a northern stream, the North Atlantic Drift, and hence influence the climates of the eastern coast of North America and the climates of western Europe.
- This steam typically stretches from 100 kilometers and is 3,900 ft deep. And stream carries warm waters across Atlantic and this is a reason for the intensity of cyclones.
The two minerals that are found in cement are : Silica and calcite.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Different minerals form the composition of cement but the minerals that are most commonly found in cement are calcite which is contained in the limestone.
The other mineral that is used in the production of cement is silica in the form of raw rock type used to make cement which is found in clay. So they form an important part of formation of cement.
Less than a percent (1.2%) of the earth's total water is Surface and aquifer freshwater sources hold.
Earth is 70% covered in water. Of this water, 97% is saline water which is found in the ocean and the rest is fresh water. Less than 1% of the earth's surface fresh water is in ground and surface water. And about 2% is available in the form of glaciers. Only 1% of aquifer water is usable in the form of rivers, lakes, or ponds. The atmosphere also holds some quantity of water in the form of tiny droplets.
In the US 49% of fresh water is used in electricity production by thermal electric power production,31% in agriculture irrigation,11% for public use, and the rest for industries as compared to developing countries where 70% is used in agriculture or industries.
