Explain how urban sprawl affects wildlife, runoff, and water pollution in an urban area

Vilka [71]

Urban sprawl refers to the expansion of poorly planned, low-density, auto-dependent development, which spreads out over large amounts of land, putting long distances between homes, stores, and work and creating a high segregation between residential and commercial uses with harmful impacts on the people living in these areas and the ecosystems and wildlife that have been displaced. Although some would argue that urban sprawl has its benefits, such as creating local economic growth, urban sprawl has many negative consequences for residents and the environment, such as higher water and air pollution, increased traffic fatalities and jams, loss of agricultural capacity, increased car dependency, higher taxes, increased runoff into rivers and lakes, harmful effects on human health.

Hope this helps!

What's the difference between primary succession and secondary succession

Lena [83]

Primary Succession is when an ecological community experiences a community changing natural disaster (volcano, glacier, etc) primary succession starts from bare rock. Secondary succession starts from pre-existing soil, and occurs from a hurricane, deforestation, etc.

Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

Why do scientists refer to charles darwin’s ideas about evolution as the theory of evolution?

bearhunter [10]

<span>Charles Darwin theory is theory of biological </span>evolution, that explains how modern organisms evolved over long periods of time through descent from common ancestors. Evolution is the process of change over time and Darwin explains in his theory the changes in humans over time and <span>shows how the living world is constantly changing.</span> This is the reason why cientists refer to charles darwin’s ideas about evolution as the theory of evolution.
