Answer:
C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.
Explanation:
A. Most of earth's freshwater is found in lakes and rivers.
Although lakes and river are one of the surface water that house the highest percentage of fresh water (about 0.3%) but most of the earths fresh water are not found in lakes and rivers but are found in ground water and ice caps and glaciers. This statement is definitely not true.
B. Almost half of the water in the U.S. is used for mining and industry.
According to USGS(US geological survey) most water usage in the US is for thermoelectric power and irrigation followed by public supply before the use for mining and industry comes in. The statement is wrong to say almost half of the water in the US is used for mining and industry.
C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.
Fresh water in ground water constitute about 30.1 % fresh water found in the earth. In fact some of the fresh water found on surface water bodies like rivers migrated from ground water. Groundwater is the largest reservoir of usable fresh water. The statement is correct and it is true.
D. Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves in most other liquids.
Water is regarded as a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid not because it dissolve in most other liquids.
1st way is chopping trees for wood. 2nd would be pollution by fossil fuel.
<h2>
Answer: They are extra-high tides and extra-low tides.</h2>
Explanation:
Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.
In this sense, there are two very special cases: The Spring and Neap tides.
<u>Spring tides </u>
Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the <u>tides higher.</u> During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.
<u>Neap tides </u>
Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle (
), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.
