Answer:
Although the question is incomplete, missing options are
- In 1997, they reduced their water consumption.
- In 1996, they planted more trees to curb water pollution.
- In 1994, they used only bottled water for drinking purpose.
- In 1995, they complained about foul odor and taste in water.
Correct option: <em><u>In 1996, they planted more trees to curb water pollution.
</u></em>
Explanation:
Among given options, a clear trend of nitrate level can be seen. <u>Initially, the nitrate level increased in water in first two years (1994 and 1995) and then it decreased significantly</u>.
From the conditions given in the question, the most probable answer is B the plantation effect (<u>phytoremediation</u>). During phytoremediation, <u>plants take up nutrients including nitrate</u> from the water via roots. This nitrogen is then used for the growth and development of plant body mass (e.g. amino acids). As more plants were growing in later years, higher reduction of nitrate was seen. Resultantly, in 1997, the concentration of nitrate was dropped to 7.3 mg/L.
The other options are not correct due to following reasons.
A. There is no information on water consumption in the question
C. There is no information on people's behavior on drinking water lifestyle.
D. Nitrate in the water cannot be smelled or tasted.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
The ABI or the ankle-brachial index examination refers to a noninvasive and brisk way to determine PAD or peripheral artery disease. The disease takes place when narrowed arteries diminish the flow of blood to the limbs. The condition can result in leg pain at the time of walking and enhances the chances of stroke and heart attack.
On the basis of ABI, one can find that a healthy individual lacking arterial insufficiency exhibits an ABI of about 10. Those with an ABI of 0.95 to 0.5 shows minor to modest arterial insufficiency. The individuals with an ABI of less than 0.50 exhibits ischemic rest pain. Those with the loss of tissue show extreme ischemia and an ABI of 0.25 or less.
Answer:
A. Uniformitarianism
Explanation:
The principle of Uniformitarianism was proposed by a Scottish Geologist, James Hutton.
The principle is simply stated as "the present is the key to the past".
The processes that have occurred in geologic past is still in play today. By looking at rock sequences in our present day, we can actually have a firm grasp of the processes they have undergone in the past.
