Answer:

A

Explanation:

Insecticides and herbicides are chemical substances used to eliminate insect pests and weed pests respectively. These substances contain toxic chemical elements like Lead, Mercury, Silver etc referred to as heavy metals. Heavy metals do not get easily decomposed by microbes. Hence, they get washed away by water erosion from lawn they were applied into major water bodies. These elements acts as WATER POLLUTANTS.

Insecticides and herbicides, no matter how helpful they are in eliminating the enemies of agricultural crops/plants, they are very harmful to living organisms. When they get flushed into the water body, they contaminate it and makes the water toxic to living organisms. They become toxic in the sense that, they kill animals like fishes when they ingest them or gets absorbed by plants.

Zanzabum

Answer:

Wegener presented a number of evidence to prove his plate tectonic theory, such as :

  • The matching of rocks on each side of the Atlantic Ocean like a puzzle.
  • His knowledge hat organisms such as freshwater reptiles were found in almost all continents
  • He also identified organisms that live in different continents, and could not possibly cross over to the other continents due to water bodies (oceans) separating the continents.

Wegener's plate tectonic theory caused doubts to other scientists, because of the way he presented his evidence. Other scientists considered his mechanisms unrealistic
