Describe a sea-level regression.

Biology
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The exposure of sea bed or undersea surface is called sea-level regression.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sea-level regression occurs when sea level drops down due to several climatic changes. This triggers extinction of several species. There had been several mass extinctions in the past due to <em>sea-level regression. </em>

<em>Chances of survival of shallow</em> water species become feeble when the sea level falls. In the case of mass extinctions regression can be seen as a symptom and not a cause.

Marine transgression is the opposite <em>phenomena of regression</em> where sea level rises and covers the land which was previously above the sea level.

Which of these is a way to increase the availability of freshwater
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options -

A-avoid water pollution.

B-build thermal power plants.

C-add water features to gardens.

D-avoid drip irrigation systems

Solution -

The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.  

Thus, option A is correct

Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.  

Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect

Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option  B is also incorrect

Hydrothermal vents are often rich in metals, such as copper, and also host dense populations of marine organisms. Which of the f
nydimaria [60]

The answer is copper. Nonrenewable resources are those that cannot be readily/naturally replaced at rates that match those of consumption (an aspect that allow renewable resources to be sustainable). Copper are made deep in earth at very slow rates hence do not readily renew themselves. Organisms, on the other hand die, and are naturally replaced by offspring.
