The introduction of the Asian Clam in Lake George is an example of an Invasive Species.

Asian Clam are small in size, hardly 1.5 inches long. However, they can reproduce very quickly without the need for a partner. A single clam can give birth to hundreds of offspring in a single day without a mate.

Asian Clam is extremely unpleasant for most fresh water bodies since it excretes nutrients such as nitrogen.

This helps in the development of algae and gives off a foul stink.

Which statement BEST characterizes the general relationship between air pressure and elevation?
Ad libitum [116K]

Both have an inverse relationship.


Explanation:

The two have an inverse relationship, that is, when elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.

At lower elevations, you have more air above you, and thus more pressure.

At higher elevations, you have less air above you, and thus less pressure.


At high elevation food takes longer time too cook due to low pressure, so at high altitude pressure cooker is used to cook food.


OK, :)
