Question 9 • W Geography_A_IC

Removing ground water in Mexico City is a problem because it causes __________.

Answer
A
land to sink

floods to occur
D
droughts to occur

Removing groundwater from beneath Mexico City causes the ground above it to compact and sink. This process is called land subsidence, so “land to sink” is the best answer. It is not primarily a cause of disputes, floods, or droughts.
