Explain how urban sprawl affects wildlife, runoff, and water pollution in an urban area
Vilka [71]
Urban sprawl refers to the expansion of poorly planned, low-density, auto-dependent development, which spreads out over large amounts of land, putting long distances between homes, stores, and work and creating a high segregation between residential and commercial uses with harmful impacts on the people living in these areas and the ecosystems and wildlife that have been displaced. Although some would argue that urban sprawl has its benefits, such as creating local economic growth, urban sprawl has many negative consequences for residents and the environment, such as higher water and air pollution, increased traffic fatalities and jams, loss of agricultural capacity, increased car dependency, higher taxes, increased runoff into rivers and lakes, harmful effects on human health.

The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients. <span>Water is actually less dense when frozen, which is why ice cubes and ice bergs all float. This is also why you can ice skate on a lake if the ice gets thick enough on the surface. Many organisms that live in freezing lakes have special adaptations which help them survive.</span>
