jasenka [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Open-cast mining

Explanation:

The aftermath of open cast mining are pits (called quarries) on the surface of the earth where the surface soil has been removed/ displaced to access the mineral deposits that are just close or at the surface of the earth. This type of mining results in environmental degradation because they disturb the biodiversity of the ecosystem in which the mining is taking place. Rehabilitation of the area is required after the mining has been exhausted to restore the initial environment.

Henry puts a plant into a beaker with water. After sometime he added blue ink into it A few hours later he observes that flowers
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The change in color in the flowers is because the plant has absorbed the dyed water. After some hours, we can see that the water has ascended through the roots, the stem and reached the flower petals. We can see the water's path till it evaporates in a process called transpiration, which returns water to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Plants absorb water and other nutrients so that they can live. When we add ink into the water, we can see the water's path from the roots, up the stem, the leaves, and the flowers. In the flowers, the water evaporates through the stomata. We call this process transpiration. The ink allows us to see that the water was in the petals, but it evaporates, leaving behind the ink. As water evaporates, the plant drinks more, which results in a more intense color in the petals.
