<u>Answer</u>:

Mountain regions face environmental problems, making them unfit for living.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Mountain regions are very much prone to disasters like landslides, avalanches, wildfires and also blizzards. Hence farming in these areas is highly difficult. Obtaining water for daily consumption can also be tricky as reservoirs can hardly be built on mountains and digging wells is out of question.

The basic facilities like well constructed roads and also power for daily usage is also difficult to be built and maintained on these hilly regions. The mountain regions have less oxygen in their atmosphere and are hence not suitable for many people to live here.

Answer:

A)

A. increased water scarcity B. overfishing C. decreased soil salinity D. deforestation

Overfishing, decreased soil salinity and deforestation are concerns about agricultural production and its effect but the increased water scarcity is not.

Overfishing is considering a fish species from the water and because of that population of fish is lack which is not good.

Deforestation is the removal of forests or trees and it has a big effect on agricultural production.

What physical feature allowed settlers in the Fertile Crescent to grow crops? sea tides flooding rivers natural canals eroding m
Drupady [299]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Fertile Crescent is basically where human civilization started. It stretches from Mesopotamia and across the Mediterranean coast to Egypt. Early civilizations depended on agriculture. To make agriculture, you need a river because it is a good water source to help grow your crops.

If you look at the map I have provided below, you will see that there are tons of rivers. This would make it very easy for settlers to grow crops. This means that sea tides and eroding mountains aren't the answer. I don't think the rivers were flooding and natural canals is an oxymoron because canals are artificial waterways, but this all should give you and idea.

Have a wonderful day! :D
