Pulmonary tuberculosis. It is a disease caused by a resistant acid bacterium and weight loss, persistent chronic cough and night sweats are characteristic of its symptoms. In addition to these discomforts, they will present hemotipsis, that is, the presence of blood in the sputum.

ITS ONLY ONE ANSWER PLZ HELP ME Which short-term environmental change would a very small asteroid or comet impact on Earth most
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is

C. Surface craters

The crater is not large enough to cause any permanent damage such as flooding, extinction for weather patterns. Since it is falling from the sky at such a great velocity it will of course leave a little "dent" in earths surface. This is short term because overtime the crater will fill in an become flat ground.

Hope this helps!
