The smoke from prescribed burn and managed wildfires is an extremely toxic air pollutant that is very dangerous to<span> unborn fetuses, infant children and elderly people</span>. It also affects normal healthy people without warning. Wood smoke pollution is 12 times more carcinogenic than cigarette smoke, attacks the body cells up to 40 times longer, and kills at least 40,000 adults and children every year. It contains a toxic soup of more than 4,000 chemical compounds of harmful gases and particle matter that go deep in the lungs and kill people, 69 of which are known human carcinogens, including arsenic, particulate matter, ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, dioxin, nitrogen oxides, and radioactive material. Warnings to stay inside on high pollution days are misleading and false. The tiny particles and gases seep inside of homes reaching up to 70 percent of the outside pollution level. No one is safe inside or outside of their homes.

Some of the possible consequences of preventing slash and burns and natural wildfires, is that the soil around the old forest may start to erode and lose its mineral wealth and resources. Also, if not controlled, plant life can actually take over human-built structures, and may destroy the structures. Some examples includes: "The Old Piano Tree" in California

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is 3. "At pH 6.5 the enyzme is 50% active"

Explanation:

For the titratable group to be protonated and cause the enzyme to be in the active state, it needs to have gained a hydrogen cation (H+). In order for that to happen, there must be enough hydrogen cations in the environment of the enzyme, and hence, an acidic pH is required in this case.

A laboratory experiment requires 250 milliliters of water for boiling. It also requires 100 milliliters ofw
lakkis [162]

Answer:

550 milliliters of water is needed.

Explanation:

the student will need 550 milliliters of water for completing the whole experiment. 250 milliliters of water is needed for  boiling purpose while on the other hand, 100 milliliters of water is needed for one process which can be repeated three times so the process needs 300 milliliters of water so by combining the 250 milliliters and 300 550 milliliters of water we get 550 milliliters of water for the whole experiment so we can say that the student needs 550 milliliters of water for the experiment.

Divergent faults form when tectonic plates _____. move away from one another stop moving crash into one another slide past each
AleksAgata [21]

Correct answer: A). Move away from one another

The divergent boundaries are formed when the tectonic plate move away from each other. It forms volcanic islands that occur when the plates move away in order to produce gaps that are filled by molten lava.

The divergent boundary contributes to the formation of seafloor spreading. When the plates that are made up of oceanic crust move away from each other, a crack in the ocean floor appears. Then the magma oozes out from the mantle to fill that crack that results in ocean ridges.

Hence, the correct answer would be option A.
