<span>The best answer is (d) water from snowmelts. The American Southwest has many mountains that catch moist air moving westward (from the Pacific) that falls as snow during the winter. The snow melts gradually during the spring and summer when there is little precipitation. The melted snow runs off the mountains into rivers and streams that can be tapped by irrigation pumps. The snowmelt also sinks into the ground, replenishing underground aquifers that can be tapped by wells in the valleys where farming takes place.</span>
Both Australia and Fiji are located to the South of the Equator, and quite close to each other. Fiji is located more to the North than New Zealand, but it is, just like New Zealand, to the west of Australia, so the statement that Australia is to the West of Fiji is false!
The ozone layer and our thick atmosphere keep the earth insulated!! any heat we get from the sun stays on the earth, warming everything up, since the ozone layer acts almost like insulation (or a greenhouse). i hope this helps!!
