Altering the Environment

Question 8 • GA-GSE World Geography B

Today, one of Mexico City’s greatest technological challenges is __________.

Answer
A
arable land
B
sinking land
C
extreme drought
D
population decline

Explanation

Mexico City is built on the site of a former lake, and much of its drinking water is pumped from underground aquifers. As water is removed, the ground compacts and the city gradually sinks, damaging buildings and infrastructure. Therefore, “sinking land” is the best answer; the other choices do not describe its major technological challenge.
