Complete the cross sections on the front and side of the block diagram in Figure 6.6.
Complete the cross-section of the side of the block diagram in Figure 6.7.
Complete the front and side of the block diagram in Figure 6.8
a. Draw four sedimentary layers of equal thickness that have a strike of N90°E. (Hint: Sketch the map view first.)b. Each layer is dipping to the south at an angle of 60°.c. On the block diagram complete the map view and both cross-sectional views.d. Add strike-dip symbols for each rock layer on both parts of Figure 6.9.
There is an old axiom (a self-evident or universally recognized truth) of economics that “There is no such thing as a free lunch”. In the United States, stringent, enforced water quality laws and regulations provide a high level of protection of our waters. This is accomplished at a significant cost. For example, (sewage treatment plants use 2% of the electricity produced in the United States. This high level of protection increases the cost of goods manufactured in the United States compared to other nations such as China where standards are lower, enforcement a bit lax and in some cases, non-existent.
What five (5) things could be done to “level the playing field” so that all manufacturers must provide the same degree of water quality protection no matter where in the world they are located? include how each of your ideas will be implemented (ex: which organization will be provided the power and resources to make sure each idea happens). These should be only about water pollution,…

- Connecticut is the only state in America where treated industrial and municipal wastewater cannot be discharged to a surface water body used downstream as a source of drinking water. It is legal in all 49 other states. For example, New Orleans, Louisiana takes its drinking water from the Mississippi River which receives discharges of many, many treated municipal and industrial wastewater discharges as well as agricultural runoff from the more than 20 states that are upstream of it.
