Water is often compromised through mining. Mining often leads to water pollution. For example, acid mine drainage occurs when rising water levels in mines come into contact with sulfide-containing rocks. This leads to a chemical reaction which produces sulfuric acid. The water produced is very acidic, and is able to dissolve all sorts of toxic metals from the rocks. This water can enter the surface waters such as lakes and rivers, and the low pH of the water as well as the toxicants can destroy the aquatic ecology.

Do you think that the terms “closest evolutionary relationship” and “most common ancestor” used when describing the relationship
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

<em>Yes, the above terms will be much similar.</em>

Explanation:

The term 'closest evolutionary relationship' reflects the organism or species which were the closest to different species in a phylogeny.

Most common ancestor also describes the ancestor from which two different organisms might have evolved.

Both the terms 'closest evolutionary relationship' and 'most common ancestor' show the common ancestors in a phylogenetic lineage. Hence, on evolutionary levels, both these terms have similar meanings and are often used to describe phylogenetic lineages.

This question is regarding climate change killing elephants​
puteri [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Climatology & Biology

Climatology (from Greek κλίμα, klima, "place, zone"; and -λογία, -logia) or climate science is the scientific study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time.

&

Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution. Despite the complexity of the science, certain unifying concepts consolidate it into a single, coherent field.

So if we understand the way elephants work through biology then we can understand how change in temperature and weather can affect them
