Ymorist [56]3 years ago

Answer:

Agriculture

Explanation:

There are two sources of water, Surface water, and Groundwater. In the USA most of the groundwater is used in the Agriculture sector. Almost forty percent of the water used in irrigation is the groundwater. It is used to irrigate eggplant, squash and other crops. Water departments at the county level also withdraw a large amount of groundwater for businesses and industries. Mining facilities also use lots of groundwater. According to the 2015 statistics of the US government, 15,200 Million gallons of water was withdrawn every day from ground. California, Arkansas, Nebraska, Idaho, and Texas were the five states which had a 46 percent share of the total groundwater extracted. Saline groundwater is used in mining

<span>Worldwide, industry accounts for about 24 percent of all water use, but this is an average amount. Industrial water use can be as much as 70 percent in some highly industrialized European countries or as low as 5 percent in less industrialized countries, such as Bolivia. Most of industrial water is used as a cooling agent for power plants, but unlike agricultural water use, the majority of the water is non-consumptive. Industrial plants usually draw water out of a river or ocean, use it for cooling their equipment, and then return the water to its origins. If care is taken to avoid contamination, the water is not degraded or polluted, and it can be used again for other purpose</span>

By about ____ months of age, different circuits in the brain begin to control infants’ looking at faces, allowing infants to dis
mojhsa [17]

Answer: 2-3

Explanation:

A biological neural network or neural circuit is a set of ordered synaptic connections that occur as a result of the binding of neurons to others in their corresponding regions following neural migration. At birth, a baby has an average of 100 billion neurons, but few neural connections. These will multiply as the child grows, through environmental, sensory, cognitive and movement stimulation. <u>Stimulating mobility and physical activity also has a positive effect on cognitive functioning by modifying the activity of certain brain areas</u>. Physical exercise has beneficial effects on brain function, such as promoting neuroplasticity and increasing learning and memory performance, which may be due to increased expression of various neural growth factors.

<u>Finally, environmental stimulation is basic for harmonious brain development and for laying the neurophysiological foundations of our children's future brains. </u>Thus, there are many mechanisms that nature has at its disposal to prevent babies from being left helpless.  All of them favour their relationship with adults and thus their neurons, at a time of maximum growth of their extensions, can form the brain circuits that allow the acquisitions that make them advance in their neurodevelopment. If babies do not receive from their adults sufficient affection and attention, brain growth will be much less and their neurodevelopment will inevitably be delayed, because what makes the brain grow and change is precisely the creation of new circuits as it learns new things, and those who can learn most are the most experienced. By aboyt 2-3 months is when circuits of the brain begin to be created.
