Answer:  b. the number of sources of pollution

The point source pollution can be defined as the pollution whose source of origin can be traced back and the further pollution can be prevented. For example sewage drainage in the pond. The non-point source pollution is the one whose source of origin can be many and cannot be traced back to a single source. For example rain water causing surface runoff which is transferring pesticides, organic matter, sewage water in the water body.

The principle difference between point source and nonpoint source water pollution is the number of sources of pollution. In the point source pollution the number of sources of pollution can be determined and traced back whereas in the nonpoint source pollution number of sources of pollution remains undetermined.

Which statements about wind are true? Check all that apply.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

  • The wind is caused by differences in air pressure.
  • An anemometer is a tool for measuring wind speed.
  • The wind-chill factor has a cooling effect

Explanation:

Winds move from areas of high pressure to areas  of low pressure. This is because the areas of low pressure are composed of hotter and less dense air. The cooler air from the higher pressure region rushes in to displaces the rising warm less dense air. The direction from which the winds prevail FROM is used to name the winds(such as westerlies blow from West to East). A wind vane, windsock and anemometer measure the direction and speed of wind. As wind passes over the skin, it causes a cooling effect (the wind chill factor) because it blows the sweat away from the skin carrying with it the heat.
