The Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and the Ohio River
Answer:
Explanation:
Scientists have been able to determine that the melting of ice from Greenland ice sheet will reduce the rate of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which is an important part of the global ocean current that determines the climate and controls Gulf stream. It as been inferred by researchers that this could affect climatic conditions in places like Europe and North America in the future.
The influx of fresh water from Greenland which is made up of runoff from ice, tundra and ice discharge will weaken the AMOC and this as both local and global effects on climate.
The answer is 3%
Explanation:
3% of the earth's water is fresh. 2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost. 0.5% of the earth's water is available fresh water.
<u>Answer:</u>
Fault rupturing by the earthquake is largely governed by the Elastic rebound theory. In geology, the elastic rebound theory is an explanation of how energy is released during an earthquake. It explains that as rocks on opposite side of the fault are subjected to some force and shift.
They gather energy and deform slowly unless their internal strength increases causing a sudden movement occurs along the fault. This results in the releasing of the accumulated energy and rocks move back to their original but unreformed shape.
