<span>Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and as salinity increases, the required temperature to freeze decreases.
The freezing point for water at 18 0/00 is 30.233 degrees Fahrenheit. So, for the black sea to freeze, it would need to be less than about thirty and a quarter degrees in both areas. Further for the Adriatic not to freeze it must be assumed that the Adriatic's salinity is higher, probably significantly higher as to avoid even partially freezing.
Furthermore, as the Black Sea's decreased salinity is attributed to nearby freshwater runoff, it is safe to assume that the Adriatic Sea either A) Has little or no freshwater runoff, or B) Has a mitigating factor that negates any freshwater runoff, allowing the salinity of its water to remain high.</span>
Unlike many other arts in western and central Africa, pottery typically is done by women. African potters were used for different purposes from decorative to culinary reasons. The pots were created differently depending on the origins of their different traditions and associated dietary and religious customs.
The external crust of the Earth consists of a series of tectonic plates moving on the planet's surface. Often volcanoes are created in regions where the plates come together. Volcanoes also can grow in the middle of a rock, which is named "Hot Spot," where the magma rises up until it bursts on the sea floor. A hot spot in the center of the Pacifical Rock is created on the Hawaiians Islands. The plate shifts, while the hot spot remains set. So the chain of the islands that comprise the Hawaiian Island chain was formed when this plate moved over the hot spot.

Answer:
D. It completely removes any available topsoil.
Explanation:
Open pit mining strips off the top layer of the soil in order to access near surface mineral deposits. Most near surface deposits are usually rock aggregates, coal, copper etc.
In order, to access these minerals, large amount of earth must be removed by earth moving machines.
Open pit mining greatly unsettles the ecosystem in mining regions and it leaves the surface bare and not suitable for agricultural activities.
<span>Why do more hydrothermal resources exist in the western regions of the United States?<span>
</span>Answer: There are more hydrothermal resources in the Western regions of the United States because the there are temperatures hot enough to be useful as a geothermal resource located at depths too far below the surface. This is why this area became a prime target for the development of geothermal energy resources.
