Biology
1 answer:
asambeis [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>Benefits</u>:

pesticides can keep harmful pests–such as rats, mice, ticks and mosquitoes–away from crops while also protecting the plants from weeds and diseases that have the ability to greatly reduce crop yield.

<u>Environmental impacts</u>:

Pesticides may move with runoff as compounds dissolved in the water or attached to soil particles. Runoff from areas treated with pesticides can pollute streams, ponds, lakes, and wells. Pesticide residues in surface water can harm plants and animals and contaminate groundwater.

In prehistoric times volcanic eruptions caused mass extinctions of many species of marine organisms attached to the ocean floor.
Paraphin [41]
Volcanic eruptions spew alot of carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases when mixed with rain and run into oceans increase their pH. Additionally, these gases are greenhouse gases that increases atmospheric temperatures and consequently those of the seas and oceans.
Low pH and high temperatures kill marine life.
