The country that would be the best source of chromium for specialty steel production within the United States is South Africa.

This is because South Africa is known to have the highest deposits of chromium, with about 17,000,000 out of the 40,000,000 worldwide.

Also, South Africa was known to have supported the likes of the United States during the Cold War.

Options B and C are wrong because Brazil and Zimbabwe have no chromium deposits.

Option D is wrong because India stylishly supported the Soviet Union during the cold war; hence, they wouldn't have supplied the United States with the Chromium needed.

Also, option E is wrong because Russia forms the larger part of the Soviet Union, and till today they are still not on the same side in most political issues.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option A." South Africa."

Answer:

South Africa

Explanation:

During the Cold War South Africa was a major source of chromium for the United States. South Africa was considered the alternative to imports from the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China. Even though there was a world-wide embargo on South African commodities because of its policy of apartheid, the United States imported chromium from the world’s second largest producer. Even though Brazil is located closer to the United States, its chromium production is considerably less than that of South Africa.

Which rocky intertidal zone, also called the super tidal zone, is only covered by water during strong storms?
Alex777 [14]

spray zone is the  rocky intertidal zone, also called the super tidal zone, is only covered by water during strong storms.

The topmost region where the marine ecology and terrestrial ecosystem converge is known as the Spray Zone. It is a transitional area, and the breadth and height vary from one location to the next. In the image above, a rock with a few weakly growing terrestrial plants meets a pine forest. The water is close to the bottom of the grey rock wall.

The organisms that dwell in the Spray Zone must be resilient to desiccation (drying out), salt spray, wind, and sporadic surf action. The terrestrial plants that you can see growing between the pine forest and the rock can withstand salt and set roots in fissures and fractures where soil has been trapped and stabilized. Low species diversity can be seen in this area. Do you recall the dominant organism in the spray zone? Let's get to know this plant, hint.
