1 answer:

5 0

GDP (Gross market value) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.

GNP (Gross National Product) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced by a country's citizens or residents. The difference is subtle but important.

GNP excludes economic activity that occurs for example in the U.S. but is owned by foreigners and includes American economic activity that occurs in other countries.

GDP is place based whereas GNP is ownership based. Thus if a foreigner starts a company in Silicon valley, this will count as GDP, but not GNP. If General Electric opens a new plant in India, this investment will be included in GNP but not GDP.

What could be the effects of polluting the water in a small mountain stream

Answer: Water pollution can have disastrous effects on the environment.

Explanation:

Pollution in the water can reach a point where there isn't enough oxygen in the water for the fish to breathe. The fish can suffocate and not have enough air.

Pollution affects the entire food chain. Small fishes absorb pollutants, such as chemicals, into their bodies. Bigger fishes eat the smaller fishes and get the pollutants as well. Birds or other animals may eat the bigger fishes and be harmed by the pollutants. One example of this was the use of the insecticide (bug killer) DDT, which is when birds of prey ate fishes that were infected with it, they would lay eggs with thin shells. The population of birds of prey began to drop until DDT was banished.

Sewage causes major problems in rivers. Bacteria in the water will use oxygen to break down the sewage. If there is too much sewage, the bacteria could use up oxygen until there won't be enough left for the fish.

Water pollution from major events like acid rain or oil spills can completely destroy marine habitats.
One of the most important commodities for life on planet Earth is clean water. For over 1 billion people on the planet, clean water is nearly impossible to get. Dirty, polluted water can make them sick enough to die.

How would l graph that plz help

umka2103 [35]

So with the first number in each set, look on the x axis or the horizontal line for the number. For example, 2 1/2 on the horizontal line or x axis is on the right side, next to the two and the x. The second number is on the vertical side, and the same thing. In this case, -1 1/2 would be on the bottom in between the -1 and the arrow.
Now find the place where the two intersect on the coordinate plane, and put a dot there to mark the coordinate.
