Answer: I believe the answer must be D.

Explanation: Because wind is a renewable energy source as it can appear and disappear in general and it happens a lot within coastal areas! It's definitely needed! Solar panels cannot really float and it would be unusual for that to happen if I am being honest. Fossil fuels are not renewable and they take a lot of years for them to decompose and they cause lots of pollution. I'm not sure about C, but I don't find the answer to be correct because I feel it best for nuclear energy to be most appropriate in places with nuclear equipment like labs or factories. This is my best guess and I hope you get this right!!

I hope this helped you, but please double-check with your teacher on this question! Good Luck!! :)

Observa las siguientes imágenes y escribe como dañan el ambiente​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Desertificación.

Explicación:

La quema de combustibles en industrias y vehículos produce gas dióxido de carbono en una gran cantidad que contamina el aire. Este gas de dióxido de carbono es un gas de efecto invernadero que se acumula en la atmósfera y bloquea la radiación solar que va al espacio después de la refección, lo que provoca un aumento de la temperatura de la tierra y una condición de sequía que conduce a la desertificación. Debido a esta desertificación, la vegetación se elimina por falta de agua suficiente.
