    Correct Answer
    A. Pollutes
    Explanation
    Burning coal for power/energy has environmental consequences. One of these consequences is pollution. When coal is burned, it releases various pollutants into the air, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants contribute to air pollution and can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Therefore, the act of burning coal pollutes the environment.

    Explanation
    Maps can be used to determine the location of something and provide a description of its characteristics. They are a visual representation that helps us understand the spatial relationships between different objects or places. By using maps, we can easily identify the position of an object or place and gather information about its features, such as its size, shape, or attributes. Therefore, the statement "We can use maps to tell its location and to describe its characteristics" is true.

    A relative location refers to the position of a place in relation to another place or landmark. It provides information about the spatial relationship between two or more locations. For example, saying that a city is located north of another city or that a building is situated next to a park are examples of relative location. Therefore, the statement "A relative location tells us where a place is in relation to something else" is true.

    Wind and rain cause the movement of rock ans soil, resulting in:

    • Restricts

    • Erosion

    • Poutes

    Correct Answer
    A. Erosion
    Explanation
    Wind and rain are powerful natural forces that can cause the movement of rock and soil. As the wind blows and the rain falls, they can dislodge and carry away particles of rock and soil, gradually wearing down the surface of the Earth. This process is known as erosion. Erosion can have significant impacts on the landscape, including the formation of valleys, the shaping of coastlines, and the transportation of sediment to other areas. It is an important geological process that helps to shape the Earth's surface over time.

    Explanation
    The statement is true because a region refers to a specific area on the Earth's surface that shares common characteristics, such as climate, vegetation, or culture. These characteristics help to distinguish one region from another and provide a sense of unity within that particular area. Therefore, the statement accurately describes the concept of a region.

A desert is characterized by a hot and arid climate with very little rainfall, while a rainforest is characterized by a humid and tropical climate with heavy rainfall throughout the year. Therefore, climate is an important characteristic that distinguishes these two types of regions.

In this case, the answer "purpose of building" refers to one of the key characteristics of the region. It implies that the region can be distinguished by the different types of buildings present, which can indicate whether the area is predominantly commercial or residential. The purpose of building can provide insights into the economic activities and lifestyle of the region's inhabitants.
