Irrigation machinery has <u>quadrupled </u>the amount of irrigated land in the US.
Irrigation refers to the act of artificially providing water to land to support the development of crops. It is an antiquated agrarian system and may have been honed as ahead of schedule as 5000 B.C. along the banks of such consistently flooding streams as the Nile. Channels were burrowed to broaden the region secured by the surge, and dams were raised to trap water on the land after the floodwaters had died down. The advancement of preoccupation dams and of water-lifting machines allowed the water system of terrains lying over those typically come to by floodwaters. Remainders of these antiquated structures have been found in Egypt, where all farmlands are flooded; Iraq; Lebanon; Syria; China; India; Peru; Mexico; and the United States. Present day water system frameworks are as yet in view of these two key building developments.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
CO₂ is one of the main green house gases on earth. A small increase in its concentration can lead to significant changes on earth. When the incoming solar radiations are incident on the earth's surface, some of the energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and the earth's surface. And some of the energy from the land surface after absorption is released into the atmosphere in the form of infrared radiations. The escaping of these radiations from earth is directly dependent on the concentration of CO₂. An increase in the amount of CO₂ will not allow these IR radiations to be removed, and this will result in the global rising of the temperature, leading to catastrophic changes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
