Answer:
The correct option is;
Glaciers that once covered South Africa have melted and can no longer form.
Explanation:
The Karoo Supergroup that formed hundres of millions of year ago covered the most part of South Africa. The Tillite debris from melting glaciers, in Dwyka Tillite are located at the bottom layers of the Karoo Supergroup, which is an indication that millions of years ago, South Africa was under extensive glacier coverage formed during the movement of the continent past the South Pole
The eventual arrival of the continent to temperate regions away from the South Pole resulted in the melting of the glaciers from which a huge swamp was formed.
Coastal erosions affect the development of the Florida peninsula.
Explanation:
Coastal erosion along the Florida coast is due to rising sea level, natural disasters like frequent storms and hurricanes, numerous navigational inlets and other constructions, and poor developmental plans.
Since the entire stretch of Florida is covered by coastline, coastal erosion is a big threat to people living along its coasts, especially in places like Jacksonville.
Florida is a state which attracts a huge number of tourists mainly due to its coastline which contributed a lot to the state’s economy. With increasing coastal developments, the erosion also increased making it more vulnerable.
Many public and private properties have been eroded due to coastal erosions. Hence sustainable development must be undertaken to protect the coastline as well as develop the state of Florida

Answer:C. Point, nonpoint
Explanation:
Point source of water pollution originate from a single source and the source of origin can be determined. Industrial and sewage drainage systems are the examples of point source pollutants. The source of pollutant is easy to detect and monitor.
Non-point source of water pollution the source of pollution remains undetermined. The pollutants may enter in water body through multiple sources. Hence, it is difficult to track back the source of single pollutant. Thus non-point source pollution cannot be clean and monitored.
Answer:
(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.
Explanation:
The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
