To be frank, I don't think your question is specific enough, but I would say that the answer would be the Rocky mountains, or just mountains. those are the only major kinds of landforms I can think of
The hypothesis of continental drift came up in 1910 by German scientist Alfred Wegener. The idea is that when you look at a map south America and Africa seem to fit perfectly together. this would have made one super Continent called Pangaea. so in order for it to get to where it is today something must have happened that is where the idea of floating continents came in. this theory is no longer relevant as now scientists found they would have to adjust to fit the size if both continents. I hope this helps.
<u>Answer:</u>
The issue of the lack of fresh drinking water in developing nations is most related to overpopulation.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The lack of fresh drinking water is not only due to its rapid depletion, but is also related to the growing pollution of fresh drinking water with growing pollution.
- The population growth in most developing countries is unregulated. Moreover, water management mechanisms are also not much sound.
- Lately, overpopulation of developing nations has resulted in severe water scarcities in such countries.
- Countries like India and Bangladesh can be looked at as an example of the same.
Answer:
The Eastern Cape is not the only area. Many areas of South Africa are suffering from drought. Many areas are close to the coast and desalination (as per a previous answer) is a distinct possibility. South Africa is of course having a running battle with Israel (a world authority on desalination) and it is therefore unlikely that anything of this nature will happen soon.
South Africa has many fast running rivers which are dry for most part of the year. Building dams should therefore be a priority, containing water normally running into the sea within days. It should also be possible to get water from areas north of South Africa, endowed with abundant water.
The drought is one issue. The other connected ones are lack of planning and over population. South Africa’s water problems (huge areas are arid even in the best of times) have been forecasted for decades and nothing has been done. The current water schemes date back to the sixties and seventies of the previous century.
For the moment prayer seems the only solution.
Its a huge problem…coastal areas might look at desalination. Boreholes might help where underground water is available. At the end of the day we still need the rain
