About history that wasn’t written down and pass it down through poem. They sing to the men and women in the mead halls, passing down valuable information, as well as legends and providing entertainment. This probably occurs during the night hours, and possibly during some of the day hours. The main purpose of the performances is to entertain the guests at the king’s mead hall, but also to inform the guests of interesting stories. Beowulf, being there, too, was incorporated into the stories and legends. This provided more entertainment for the guests because they could physically see the man about whom he was speaking.

Which of the following helps to maintain the current level of nitrogen in earth's atmosphere ?

Ivan

Human activities cause increased nitrogen deposition in a variety of ways, including

burning of both fossil fuels and forests, which releases nitrogen into the atmosphere
fertilizing crops with nitrogen-based fertilizers, which then enter the soil and water
ranching, during which livestock waste releases ammonia into the soil and water
allowing sewage and septic tanks to leach into streams, rivers, and groundwater
