In this situation, I would try not to allow the exploitation of the mountain to occur, degrading nature and the property that her family has, because her brother may look for another job, but nature would not recover.

<h3>What are the impacts of coal mining?</h3>

The burning of coal for energy produces highly toxic effluents, such as mercury and other heavy metals such as vanadium, cadmium, arsenic and lead. In addition, the release of carbon dioxide causes pollution in the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming and contributing to acid rain.

With this information, we can conclude that Sedimentation and pollution of rivers due to improper disposal of unused material would make life on the family's property unfeasible.

Is the temperature profile in the thermosphere more like that of the troposphere or the stratosphere?
podryga [215]

The correct answer is: stratosphere.

This is because their temperatures are rising instead of decreasing.

There are 4 primary layers of the atmosphere on Earth:  

Troposphere (6-20km), the layer that we live in, where the weather occurs. Only nitrogen and oxygen present.

Stratosphere  (20-50 km), where the airplanes fly, contains the ozone layer, which absorbs harmful radiation from the sun.

Mesosphere (50-85 km), the coldest region of Earth’s atmosphere (-100 C), protective layer

Thermosphere (80-690), the hottest (1500 C) and the thickest layer which consists of the ionosphere and the exosphere.

What might happen if the gametes of a species had
mario62 [17]

Answer:

<em>The chromosome number will not be constant and the person would die.</em>

Explanation:

During gamete formation, half of the chromosomes arise from one parent and the other half from the other parent. This is possible due to the process of meiosis.

If during gamete formation, the number of chromosome does not get reduced, then after fertilization the gamete will have double the number of chromosomes as compared to the parents. Hence, the chromosome number of the person will not remain constant and he/she would die.
