Resulting from past and current geoscience processes, Earth's mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are unevenly distributed. As humans continue to remove these limited and often non-renewable resources, their distributions significantly change. This map shows some of the world's major tectonic plate boundaries. Volcanic and hydrothermal activity occur as a result of the energy released along these boundaries, creating an ideal environment for the concentration of minerals. Which statement provides another rationale for higher mineral concentrations near plate boundaries compared other parts of the world? A) The speed of mineral formation is increased by the high levels of groundwater found at plate boundaries. B) Sediment from erosion usually deposits near plate boundaries, and volcanic activity causes it to form minerals. C) Rocks with high mineral concentrations buried deep in the mantle can be pushed near the surface as plates move. D) The magnetic pull of Earth's mantle is strongest at plate boundaries, pulling minerals in Earth's crust toward them.

Consider a one meter long horizontal pipe with a constant 100 cm^2 cross sectional area. water flows rightward into the pipe at x = 0 with flow velocity 02m/sec at every point within the pipe intake area. at x=1, the rightward flow rate is 0.192 m/sec. assume the water is a conserved quantity in the pipe, so there must be a leak (a sink) somewhere in the pipe. 1. compute net volumetric flow of the source if the system to be in equilibrium. 2. now assume the pipe in the problem has no leaks. compute the net volumetric rate of change for the system.
