<span>construction of a large mall and parking lot

Urban areas are crowded places with many apartments, offices, restaurants, parking lots and shopping centers. Comparing the amount of dirt, wastages and pollutants that are released into streams and lakes by each of these sources, we can conclude that the construction of a shopping mall or parking lot contributes a lot to the addition of the wastage into the streams and lakes

A shopping mall and parking lot in itself occupies a lot of space hindering the air balance and also increasing the traffic in the area and the adjacent areas leading to this area. On the other hand , this construction accommodates hundreds of shops that discards bulks of packaging materials in the form of plastic covers, fabric, card boards and other wastages which will have to be dumped every day.

Apart from this, urban areas have major part of the land covered with roofs and roads thus making all the rain water flow into the sewer and drainages washing out chemical wastes, pet wastes and other garbages into the streams and lakes.

Tsunami waves flood coastal and inland areas and affect coastal life. Which of these properties of tsunami waves most contribute
Ede4ka [16]
I found the exercise on the internet and here are the options:
"<span>the low friction of waves at the shoreline
the high friction of waves at the shoreline
the high amplitude of the waves at origination
the long wavelength of the waves at origination"

The tsunami property that most contributes to the flooding is "the long wavelength of the waves at origination". The long wavelength that the tsunamis have at their origin makes so that when the wave reaches the shore, instead of a normal spreading, a much longer spreading takes place taking the ocean as far as the wavelength allows.</span>

Which statement about how organisms depend on abiotic factors in an aquatic ecosystem is not true?
Nat2105 [25]
The answer is <span>a. most living organisms can survive in environments with several different temperature and salinity levels.

</span>Aquatic plants and animals depend on dissolved oxygen for respiration. The other abiotic factors that impact their life in an aquatic ecosystem are temperature, salinity, and flow and they determine the quality of their life. <u>It is not true that most living organisms can survive in environments with several different temperature and salinity levels.</u> On the contrary, a few species can live in <span>environments with several different temperature and salinity levels, for example, some bacteria. The most organism can survive in a specific range of abiotic factors.</span>
