I need help with a dang Mono Lake ecosystem thingy

Biology

Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.

From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.

The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.

In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.

The graph below shows the percentage of acres in the United States that is dedicated to genetically engineered crops.
Alexus [3.1K]
The best description of the graph is that "the percentage of of acres that is dedicated to genetically engineered crops grew from 1996 to 2005"
The y-axis of the graph has the percentage of acres dedicated to genetically modified crops, while the x-axis has the years. The four lines show the four types of crops that are grown. All of the lines are observed to have a direct correlation between the values of y and x, so the percentage of acres dedicated is increasing with time.

Which muscles are used for shallow breathing and deep breathing. And what difference does it make?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

i am not that much of science lover but i there u go

Explanation:

During quiet breathing, the diaphragm and external intercostals must contract. A deep breath, called diaphragmatic breathing, requires the diaphragm to contract. As the diaphragm relaxes, air passively leaves the lungs. A shallow breath, called costal breathing, requires contraction of the intercostal muscles.
