The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared resource system where individuals users, acting independently according to their own self interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoilt the shared resource through their collective action.

Overfishing is an example of the tragedy of the commons because multiple people are fishing for their own gain disregarding the negative effect depleting fish from the ocean can have. In this case the ocean is the shared resource system being spoiled through collective action.

Hope this helps :)

Which best describes how storm water runoff pollutes Puget Sound?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Rain washes pollutants off streets and into storm drains, which drain into Puget Sound.

Explanation:

"Puget Sound" is a Pacific Ocean inlet that is located in Washington's northwestern coast. It is said that the name "Puget Sound" was given by George Vancouver in<em> 1792,</em> in honor of a lieutenant, Peter Puget, who was very helpful in guiding him through his expedition.

Puget Sound is home to many marine species, such as salmon, Pacific rods, harbor seals, Pacific herring and the like. However, some of these, like the <em>"Olympia oysters,"</em> have been depleted because of human activities. The recession of many species in this area has been increasing over time. It is said that the inlet was contaminated with radioactive water in 1978, when a submarine accidentally released the radioactive water into Puget Sounds.

Another reason for its buildup of pollution is through the <u>"storm water's run-off." </u>When a storm comes, it hits infrastructure's roofs and other surfaces or pollutants. The debris are carried into the drains by rain and are then drained further into Puget Sound.

The toxic chemicals that are carried primarily comes from the roofing materials or human's everyday products.

What was one of the biggest challenges faced by the Jewish settlers who arrived in Israel beginning in the 1880s?
gogolik [260]

The answer is, introducing modern agricultural methods to an ancient culture.

The number of Jews migrating to the land of Israel rose significantly between the 13th and 19th centuries, mainly due to a general decline in the status of Jews across Europe. The Jewish settlers had two types of agriculture methods which were the cooperative agricultural community and the collective community method.

cooperative agricultural community was where members worked on individual farms of generally equal size and sometimes pooled labor as well as machinery and marketing, while the collective community agriculture method land and even tools and clothing were owned jointly, and all decisions were made by the community these methods were different from the ancient culture agriculture done in Israel.
