Answer:

C.  movement of the Earth’s plates

Explanation:

Volcanoes and earthquakes sometime occur in Canada's western ranges because of the movement of the Earth's plates.

  • Plate tectonics is responsible for the volcanic activities which brings magma to surface from the asthenosphere.
  • Also, earthquakes are products of plate tectonics.
  • The differential movement caused sudden breakage of the plate and releases are sudden burst of energy.

Humans have built artificial levees along the Mississippi River to protect themselves and their property from floods. However, t
Nikitich [7]

The correct answer is - A. reduce the amount of sediment deposited on floodplains and increase the amount of sediment deposited at the river's mouth.

The Mississippi River is one of the biggest rivers in the world. It is also a river that carries with it very large amount of sediments. The levees built along side it though do not allow the natural process of deposition of sediments on the floodplains of the river. That results in the river carrying the sediments down to the river mouth. Because of this, the river mouth is becoming an ever-growing delta because of the constant deposition of very large amounts of sediments. This also causes lot of the sediments to end in the coastal parts of the sea, which makes the sea waters shallower and murkier, as well as creating new land forms alongside the coast from the deposited material.

Changes in ocean currents have caused what to occur to people who are living in the inland parts of North America?
Lana71 [14]

Currents involve movement of ocean water masses, driven either by wind or by differences in temperature, salinity and density. The most important from a human perspective are the wind-driven surface currents that move water in the uppermost layer of the ocean.

Currents affect humans in several primary ways. Currents help shape the climate in the areas where we live, create the right conditions to support abundant ocean life in the areas where we fish, and change weather patterns through periodic events like El Nino/La Nina.

Ocean currents also cause upwelling in many areas like off in the inland parts of North America, where surface currents taking water away from the shore cause nutrient-rich water to well up from the ocean deeps. The abundance of nutrients in these areas forms fertile ground for kelp beds and marine fisheries, which in turn furnish food for humans. Alterations in current patterns like the El Nino/La Nina cycle affect humans as well by causing changes in local weather patterns in the years when they occur.

Fofino [41]
<span>first thing you need to do is find the area of the circle A=(pi)r^2 You don't know r, but you do know the diameter is 10, and the diameter is twice the radius so r=5 Then plug that into the area formula, and you'll get A=25pi or 78.54 ft^2 If one bag covers 2 ft^2, then divide your area by 2 and round up to get the number of bags of concrete (40) 
hope i helped !!!</span>
