How do the industrial, agricultural, and residential activities of humans most likely affect the groundwater in the area?.

The majority of the water is kept from evaporating into the atmosphere because of the activities. Pollutants from the activities seep into the water table through the soil.

By generating erosion, conveying fertilizers, pesticides, and heavy metals, as well as by reducing the amount of water that naturally flows in streams and rivers, excessive irrigation can have a negative impact on water quality. When applied to a landscape, fertilizers and pesticides don't stay put; instead, runoff and infiltration carry these toxins into nearby rivers, streams, and wells. From subterranean storage tanks, hazardous liquids such as gasoline escape into the groundwater supply. Pollutants from poorly built septic systems or landfills seep into the groundwater. Runoff from fertilized fields, livestock regions, abandoned mines, salted roadways, and industrial locations pollutes groundwater.

Thus, the activities can be said to be the main reason why the majority of the water is prevented from evaporating into the atmosphere. Pollutants from the activities permeate through the soil and into the water table.

Calculate the population of 217 bison at the end of 2 years if it decreases at a rate of 7.5% per year. _____ bison

kkurt [141]

7.5% of 217 = 16.275

At end of 1 year bisons = 217 - 16.275 = 200.725

7.5% of 200.725 = 15.054375

At end of 2 years bisons = 200.725 - 15.054375 = 185.670625 (Rounding that to the tens)

=186

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The relationship between the ants and the tree is symbiotic, since both parties provide clear benefits to each other. The tree benefits by having the ants attack its predators, and the ants benefit from the natural defenses of the tree (such as thorns) as well as being able to eat the nectar and secretions of the tree.

What is Teddy's organization trying to accomplish?

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The sensitization and awareness campaign by Teddy's organization was aimed to prevent greenhouse effects by preserving the integrity of the ozone layer in deflecting the dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Explanation:

Products such as aerosols, refrigerators, and other substances that can release Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had been banned due to their bye product of CFCs which had been studied to be harmful to the ecosystem, especially the stratosphere.

The released CFCs are volatile and escape faster due to their low relative density. Therefore, they tend to get into the upper atmosphere within a couple of minutes. When CFCs and Ultraviolet radiation reacts, it leads to the formation of mono oxides of chlorine and bromine. These fragments (Cl2O and Br2O) are capable of reducing the protective ozone shield into ordinary oxygen, which cannot prevent the penetration of harmful ultraviolet radiation into the earth, which cause mutation of DNA and destruction of protein content of the animals and plants on the earth, and finally to cancer and other genetic mutation problems.
