Answer: Fertilizers and pesticides contribute to runoff that goes into the water, causing habitat degradation.

Explanation:

Fertilizers and pesticides are the chemical formulations which are added to the agricultural field so as to enhance the growth of the crops and raising their yield. The runoff is the water erosion. In runoff water from any source such as rainwater, water from the snow melt and water from the river stream flows over the surface of soil. It remains unabsorbed within the soil. Such water flows with an appropriate speed and mixes with the water reservoir.

Thus according to the given situation, the fertilizers and pesticides along with the water runoff will be added to the water reservoir. As a result of this the increase in abundance of chemicals in the water source can make the water habitat unfit for the survival of aquatic animals due to contamination.

Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes? Explain how earthquakes can be created by plate tectonics
Bad White [126]
Unique or damaging plate edges cause volcanoes. As the more thick plate subducts, it will dissolve at profundity and the water is driven off, will bring down the liquefying purpose of the overlying mantle wedge, this will make a kind of magma. Volcanic Island Arcs are framed at maritime dangerous plate edges. The hot, light magma, is less thick that the encompassing rock so will ascend to the surface, and will gather underneath the plate that hasn't been subducted. It will then, under expanded weight eject under the ocean. More than thousands of a great many years, it will continue emitting, to shape islands.

<span>An amphibian that lacks lungs and breathes entirely through its skin would have to be smaller than an amphibian with lungs so that the small oxygen intake correlates with the small surface area of the amphibian. This would then allow it to breath efficiently.</span>
