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.

Dafna11 [192]

Correct question:  A fast swimming strong body fish such as a <u>salmon</u> which is adapted to clear fast and strong water current would most likely be found in which aquatic zone? Options in the attached file

Answer:

Source of a river zone

Explanation:

The fishes body is directly correlated with their environment and the pressures they receive from it. Those animals that are used to living in clear waters, with fast currents must be very strong, must have a hydrodynamic torpedo-like body and big and strong caudal fin to propel against the currents. These animals are used to living in water masses such as the source of a river zone.

Rivers belong to lotic environments, characterized by constant moving water.

  • Profundal zone: Sunlight can not reach this zone, so there are no plants. The Water movement is very limited, and in most cases, water is not clear.
  • Littoral zone: Is the transition zone, near the shore, where the light easily reaches the bottom. Usually, there is plenty of vegetation fixated to the bottom.
  • Wetland zone: In general these are calm water, very rich in diversity, and a proper breeding area for a wide variety of fish.
  • Source of a River zone: Rivers flow from higher to lower areas. They originate at the top of the mountains and fastly descend to finally end in a lake or in the sea.

Some species of salmons characterize by living in the sea during sexual maturity, but whenever they need to breed, they go back to the area where they were born. This is in sweet water. They swim in the river until they reach the place where they are going to oviposit. In order to do this, they need to swim against the current. Many times, females die trying to reach this special place.
