Biology

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.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Energy flows from one animal or plant eating or getting eaten to the next anima above it. As for your translation, the crickets are eating the grass then are getting eaten by the secondary consumers and finally getting fed to the largest consumer and every time you go up in the food chain more and more energy is being passed on.

Two different scientists were studying the carbon levels of the air above a large city. They both found that the levels had incr
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Scientist 1

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion of scientists 1 is valid.</em>

Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, etc. leads to the emission of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. <em>An increase in the population of a city will only lead to an increase in these activities and hence, an increase in the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.</em>

Also, volcanic activities leads to the production of volcanic gases which is a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

<u>However, an active volcano that is several miles away from the city might not be a major source of carbon in the air above a large city. The carbon dioxide produced from such volcanic activity thins out before reaching the city.</u>

Associations detected between measures of neighborhood environmental conditions and human microbiome diversity.
Musya8 [376]

Associations that were detected between measures of neighborhood environmental conditions and human microbiome diversity is shown below;

  • There was a regular, positive associations that between diversity and NDVI sd in regards to  mouth microbiome.
  • There was a constant, significant, and a negative associations that was said to exist between percent grassland and that of the diversity of the nose microbiome.

<h3>What are the other result?</h3>

Further result from the study of Amber L. Pearson<em> et al.,</em> (2020) reveal that the outcome for the mouth microbiome, she shows that a little effect of percent trees was seen on diversity and Clay loam soil was said to be negatively and positively associated or linked with rectum microbiome diversity, when liken to loam soil.

The study reveals that  no potential indicator taxon among NDVI quartiles was found and further research is needed.

blagie [28]
This is actually not a question. You are going to have to re-read it. If you are asking it as a question it will look like this: "When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, do all the points in the body have the same angular acceleration?"
