How does a plastic bottle thrown on the ground by a person in St. Louis, in the middle of the United States, become microplastic

in the Gulf of Mexico?
Incineration of plastics results in the production of microplastic that can be carried by the wind all over the planet.

Much of the trash east of the Mississippi River is shipped to the Gulf of Mexico for disposal, then the plastic dumped into the Gulf is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces.

Plastics are ground into tiny pieces before being washed down the drains of waste management facilities, ultimately reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

Trash thrown on the ground can wash into streams and rivers and find its way into the Gulf of Mexico, where the plastic is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces.

PLEASE HELP

Answer: Option d

Explanation:

Trash thrown on the ground by a person can travel to the Gulf of mexico by water ways. A small bottle can travel from the ground to the stream and lakes and they it finds its way towards Gulf of Mexico.

The plastic bottle must have been broken down into smaller pieces and this is how it can travel through the water ways to the Gulf of Mexico.

A small piece of plastic thrown can be a serious issue as it cannot be degraded and hence it travels along the water to major seas and oceans.

How can these forelimbs explain how life changes over time?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The correct answer would be divergent evolution showing by homologous organs.

Explanation:

In the illustration human arm, the flipper of the dolphin, wings of bat and forearm of frog are shown. All  these four forelimbs have a different function, however, these forelimbs are having the same underlying anatomy.

The organs having basic structure and origin, but different functions are known as homologous organs. These organs point towards the same ancestor from these organisms evolved. They show a case of divergent evolution.

When related species become less similar in order to adapt and survive in different conditions, evolution is called divergent evolution.

Thus, these forelimbs provide evidence for divergent evolution.
