An increase in temperature affects the reaction rate by >decreasing the velocities of particles that collide in the reaction.
>increasing the number of molecules that have sufficient kinetic energy to react. >increasing the number of molecules that have sufficient potential energy to react. >decreasing the energy that particles need to overcome the energy activation barrier.
The Chesapeake Bay watershed continues to develop as population in the region grows. Development and urbanization at the cost of natural landscapes can lead to increased pollution of nutrients and sediment to the Bay, especially from stormwater runoff.
