The answer is - because over 90% of this biome has been converted to agriculture.

This biome has been much larger before the development of the agriculture in this part of the USA, but because this biome provided large territories with deep fertile soil and predominantly lowland areas, people started using it for agriculture because it was the most suitable for that. So little by little, the biome was declining and more and more of it was becoming agricultural land.

Your roommate, who has not studied climate, says, "I thought the greenhouse effect was a bad thing. Isn't it what's causing glob
Masja [62]

Answer:

b) and c)

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere.  Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.

Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.

Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.

Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.

<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect. </em>

Answer:

a) The question "Do pumpkins grow bigger when fed milk?" it is already a hypothesis, which means that to apply the scientific method, we should establish an experiment, where we would select a squash squash, feed some with milk and some without milk and wait a certain period of time. After that time, we could move on to the stage of the scientific method called "evaluation of results" where we would evaluate the differences in development and size between the pumpkins that were fed with milk and those that were not. After that we would go to the phase called "conclusion" where based on the comparison of the results we would answer the hypothesis shown above.

b) A scientific question could be "Can bean seeds germinate in sterile soil?"

Explanation:

Scientific method is a set of steps that must be followed when someone wants to prove a hypothesis based on experimental and scientific data. These steps are: visualization of something questionable, formulation of the hypothesis about it, establishment of a scientific experiment to test the hypothesis, evaluation of the results of the experiment and conclusion.

A scientific question is every question that you can perform a scientific experiment to answer it. This scientific experiment is carried out with the steps of the scientific method.
