Why did new towns spring up in places that were not near rivers or canals? (1 point)

a.) all of the land near rivers and canals was already occupied by cities and towns.
the united states government sponsored new towns away from rivers and canals to
attract settlers to the west.

b.) the high levels of pollution in the country’s rivers led people to settle areas that were
far from those rivers.

c.) the towns sprang up along newly laid railroad tracks. railroads could be built almost
anywhere.

The correct answer is - C.) The towns sprang up along newly laid railroad tracks. Railroads could be built almost everywhere.

Lot of new towns in the United States were established on places that were not close to springs or rivers. That was kind of breaking the unwritten rule, as the human settlements had always been developing next to a freshwater source.

The reason why this trend occurred where the newly laid railroad tracks. With the railroad tracks and the trains passing on them, the people were able to move quickly to other places, as well as trade very easily. The railroads replaced the river's usage for transportation and travel, so the towns didn't had problems developing in places like this since everything became very easily available.

the underground railroad (apocope of the metropolitan railroad) is a system of urban trains located within a city and its metropolitan area. it is characterized for being a massive transport of passengers in the big cities, uniting diverse zones and their environs, with high capacity and frequency and in segregated form to other systems of transport. metropolitan railroads are built underground or on the surface, although most systems use mixed models where sections are combined in both modalities.

1 - as a result, the metro tends to reduce car travel for two reasons: first, due to the greater transfer of users from the car and, second, due to the reduction in the acquisition of cars in homes located in sectors near the stations of the metro.

2 -the metro allows to contribute effectively to the achievement of all the objectives of an urban development policy: it improves the efficiency of the city's economy by reducing travel costs and also generates a higher level of activities in the city center, taking advantage of of the agglomeration economies.

3 -it is a clean means of transport, since it uses renewable energy (usually electricity), taking care of the environment and avoiding excessive pollution.

agree with wilson that weakening the treaty would threaten world peace.
