Why might policymakers feel that the fight to stop pollution is Sisyphean

Geography

choli [55]2 years ago

Answer:

Because if we stopped polluting, that would mean we have to cut back on non-renewable resources, which pollute the environment. But if we did that, energy would be harder to get, maintain and use because it will depend on the sun and wind. So if we outlawed any pollutants, many people would have too little energy and might starve or even be able to use the computer once every day. From the same perspective, if we keep polluting with non-renewable resources, then more people will die of deadly gases and more environments will be harmed. Therefore, the fight to stop pollution is Sisyphean.

This photo shows a plateau. Which events could have caused this plateau to form
madam [21]

Answer:

Uplift raised the level of a piece of crust.

Mountains eroded.

Basaltic lava flowed from cracks in the crust.

Explanation:

A plateau can form in several different ways. It can form because of volcanic activity, the collision of plates, uplift of crust, and erosion.

Uplift that has raised a piece of crust can easily form this plateau. If the crust that is moving up is relatively flat at the top, then it will stick out in the surrounding area like a mountain will, but it will have a relatively flat top, thus making a plateau.

Erosion is very often a factor that creates plateaus. If there is a very large piece of crust that is much more solid than its surroundings, it will erode at a much slower rate. This will result in the crust around it to erode while it remains close to its initial form, thus sticking out as a higher relief form.

In the areas where there is or has been volcanic activity, it is common that plateaus as the one on the image are found. When the lava flows it fills in the valleys, cracks, holes, and when it solidifies it creates solid masses of igneous rocks. These rocks erode very slowly, so while all of the surroundings erode faster and lower down, it remains largely the same in the form of a plateau.

What is Earth's period?
Irina18 [472]
The word year is also used for periods loosely associated with, but not identical to, the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Similarly, year can mean the orbital period of any planet; for example, a Martian year and a Venusian year are examples of the time a planet takes to transit one complete orbit. The term can also be used in reference to any long period or cycle, such as the Great Year.[2]
