In general, the human impact on the natural resources is negative.

Explanation:

The humans constantly stride to be as developed as possible and to live at a higher standard as possible. This means that the economies constantly need to progress, develop, and grow. In order for this to be achieved the humans need natural resources, mostly for energy, but also for numerous other things.

Because the demand for natural resources is constantly on the rise and it seems that it will be in the future as well, the natural resources are spent at a rate much faster that the time needed for them to replenish naturally. This leads to decrease of the natural resources and eventual putting end to some of them, in a process that benefits the humans for now, but on the long run can only be seen as destroying and over-exploration of these resources.

Why are breadcrumb sponge invertebrates

yawa3891 [41]

Hello!

In order for an animal to be a vertebrate, it must have a backbone. As can clearly be seen in any image of a sponge, it is a highly asymmetrical simple animal and does not have a backbone. Therefore, a breadcrumb sponge is not a vertebrate, or is an invertebrate.

I hope this helped!

Tommy and Erin are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Full question is attached.

Tommy's reasoning is wrong because the hypotenuse is not 5 feet.

A skateboard ramp resembles a right angles triangle so its sides resemble that of a right angled triangle.

The height of 3 feet would be the height of the triangle.

The length of 5 feet would be the length of the triangle.

The piece of plywood that would cover the top of the frame would be the hypotenuse.

In using the Pythagoras rule, the c is the hypotenuse but Tommy made the mistake of assuming that the hypotenuse was b which is where the error came from.

Instead of solving for b, they should have been solving for c which is the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

3² + 5² = c²

9 + 25 = c²

c² = 34

c = √34

c = 5.83 feet

They should use a plywood of 5.83 feet not 4 feet.
