The snakes are an invasive species. They have no predators in this ecosystem, so they have nothing to inhibit the growth of their population. They eat the native creatures and begin destroying the ecosystem.

Which of the following has been proposed as a potential strategy for mitigating the increase of co2 in the atmosphere ?
Triss [41]
<span>Injecting into geological formation, adding iron to the ocean to increase phytoplankton, and shooting into space
</span>
All of the above proposed methods are being proposed to help decrease global warming <u>but adding aerosols into the atmosphere does not involve the mitigation of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. </u>

1. Adding aerosol to the atmosphere - aerosols added to the atmosphere have the potential to block the sun's rays and reduce global warming. They reflect the sun's rays back to the atmosphere while at the same time providing "seeds" around which water droplets can come together to form clouds. Cloud formation can also help increase the earth's reflectivity against the sun's rays.

2. Injecting into geological formation - carbon dioxide from stationary sources (e.g. powerplants and factories) can be captured and eliminated from the atmosphere, compressed into a fluid state, and injected deep underground into permeable and porous geological formations and overlain with a layer of impermeable rock to seal the CO2 underground. 

3. Adding iron to oceans to increase phytoplankton - phytoplanktons take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. Thus, adding iron to the oceans, which acts as a fertilizer to the phytoplanktons, can encourage the growth of the phytoplankton population. The more phytoplanktons, the more CO2 that can be removed from the atmosphere. 

4. Shoot it into space - some scientists propose that a conveyor can be built in the Arctic to take advantage of the Earth's magnetic field and allow for the venting or expelling of CO2 into outer space.

How do plates move at the convergent plate boundary?
swat32

Explanation:

When the plates collide, the crust "combates" forming the ridges. India and Asia impacted 55 million years ago, causing the slow formation of the Himalayas, the highest mountain system on the planet. As the shock continues, the mountains rise increasingly.

Which of the following features is most likely the primary cause for the difference in climate between Ocean City MD located on
adoni [48]

Answer:

Proximity to the ocean

Explanation:

Ocean City, MD, has a milder climate than Deep Creek Lake, MD, because Ocean City is a coastal city in front of the ocean, and the ocean always moderates the climate.

Deep Creek Lake, MD, is located in the mountains of Maryland, in the eastern edge of Appalachia. Because of this, it has a much more continental climate, meaning that summers are hotter, and winters are colder.
