Reviewer 2 Report (New Reviewer)

 

Overall, it is well written article and suitable for publication under this journal. I can say that it has some interesting and valuable results with unique finings. But, it is not yet ready for final publication under earth Journal unless the below highlighted comments be addressed. These are as follow:

-    In page 2, lines 88&89, why written in red colour? Kindly change it to be a black colour. Similar thing noticed in page 9, lines 287-289. It is also noticed in other pages in the manuscript.

-        Your literature review is not sufficient and outdated! Pleas add more recent studies to keep the work up to date!

-          Clearly justify your research gap?

-          Be more specific in your final conclusion!

-          The main contribution has not specifically highlighted!
