The correct answer is option D) Water is polar and the positive and negative ends of the molecule attract each other.

The water is a polar molecule, and forms a hydrogen bonding with the other water molecule. In the liquid state, the molecules of the water is in random motion, and the bond between the water molecules are continuously formed and deformed.

In the ice, the hydrogen bond between the water molecules become more stable, due to this, the molecules arrange themselves in a hexagonal pattern. Due to this arrangement, the allover space occupied is expanded. Hence, the ice is expanded than liquid water.

Explanation:

This rapid population growth has an adverse effect on the natural resources and quality of life.

However, overpopulation has a deleterious effect on the environment due to the current lifestyle.

There would be rampant exploitation of natural resources, excess human waste accumulation, chances of epidemics, etc.

Besides, it would also lead to socio-economic problems like poverty, malnutrition, violence, corruption, etc.

Human overpopulation occurs if the number of people in a group exceeds the carrying capacity of the region occupied by that group.

Explain how deep water currents affect the number of organisms found in the area by circulating nutrients.
MariettaO [177]
Deep water currents affect the number of organisms found in the area by circulating nutrients due to upwelling. Upwelling is a process where cold water surfaces and encourages nutrients to the surface. When exposed to sunlight, they initiate energy which keeps the flow of the ecosystem.
