b. Permeable Rock - Increases or Decreases
c. High Temperature - Increases or Decreases
4. Select the reason cities tended to develop at the fall line on rivers.
a. The fall line is where rivers converge, which was beneficial for trade.
b. The fall line is the widest point along the middle of a river, so travel was easier.
c. The fall line is where rivers are no longer navigable by ships traveling in from the ocean, so goods had to be offloaded.
d. The fall line follows the ridge of the Appalachian Mountains, providing access inland where goods could be traded
5. Drag each statement to the correct category to show whether it impacts the quality or quantity of water. Statements may be used once or not at all.
a. Water is withdrawn from low-supply areas. - Quantity of water or quality of water
b. Methane makes the water supply flammable. - Quantity of water or quality of water
c. Water mixed with chemicals leaches into groundwater. - Quantity of water or quality of water
d. The high water pressure generates small-scale earthquakes. - Quantity of water or quality of water
Some people just dont have time to do their stuff. Sometimes you have to get some help off of someone. Just because you got it done and studied doesn't mean everyone else did. Not all of us sit in our rooms all day and study
@psydaggetalife No. You just look up the answers instead. Oh and before you ask "WhY ArE yOu HeRe tHeN?!" It's because my mother needs help cleaning the house before our guests come over an it would take far too long to do it myself this time.
1. The correct statements describing an aquifer are:
c. layer of permeable rocks
d. underground water storehouse
b. can be recharged after being depleted
To identify the correct answers, we need to understand what an aquifer is. An aquifer is an underground layer of permeable rocks or sediment that holds and transmits groundwater. Water infiltrates the layer and is stored in the underground rock formations, creating an underground water storehouse. Additionally, aquifers can be recharged after being depleted, meaning that water can seep back into the aquifer, replenishing its supply.
2. The three ways water and energy are consumed in the production of store-bought bread are:
a. Water is consumed to irrigate the wheat fields.
b. Energy is consumed to process the wheat into flour.
c. Energy is consumed to harvest the wheat.
To find the correct answers, we need to consider the stages involved in the production of bread. Wheat, the main ingredient in bread, requires water for irrigation to grow. This consumes water. The harvested wheat then needs to be processed into flour, which requires energy. Finally, the harvesting of the wheat itself also requires energy.
3. The following items increase or decrease the surface water supply:
a. Drought - Decreases
b. Permeable Rock - Increases
c. High Temperature - Decreases
To determine whether each item increases or decreases the surface water supply, we can analyze their effects. A drought is a prolonged period of below-average rainfall, which leads to decreased surface water supply. Permeable rock, on the other hand, allows water to flow and seep into the ground, increasing the surface water supply. High temperature can increase water evaporation and decrease the surface water supply.
4. The reason cities tended to develop at the fall line on rivers is:
c. The fall line is where rivers are no longer navigable by ships traveling in from the ocean, so goods had to be offloaded.
To identify the correct reason, we must understand the significance of the fall line. The fall line represents the point where rivers, flowing over resistant rocks, create waterfalls or rapids. This made further river navigation difficult for ships coming from the ocean. As a result, goods had to be offloaded at this point, leading to the development of cities and trade.
5. The statements impact the quality or quantity of water as follows:
a. Water is withdrawn from low-supply areas. - Quantity of water
b. Methane makes the water supply flammable. - Quality of water
c. Water mixed with chemicals leaches into groundwater. - Quality of water
d. The high water pressure generates small-scale earthquakes. - Quantity of water
To categorize the statements, we need to consider the effects they have on water. The withdrawal of water from low-supply areas affects the quantity of water available. Methane in the water supply makes it flammable, which affects its quality. Water mixed with chemicals that leach into groundwater impacts the quality of the water. High water pressure generating small-scale earthquakes affects the quantity of water available.
