I may be wrong, but this is what I did:
8.9 x 10^5 x 2000 (1 ton is 2000 lbs) x 16 (16 ounces in 1 pound)
=2.848 x 10^10
The -10 is going to be convertible to be +10
Decomposers are necessary to the food chain because they break down the results of the food chain into the basic elements that producers can then use to begin the process over again. Decomposers include groups of bacteria that help to speed up the decaying process of dead plants and animals.
Hope that helped! =)
Answer:
D). Turbidity, because a decrease in water clarity would indicate and increase in soil erosion.
Explanation:
The last option most aptly describes the direct effect of soil erosion i.e. 'turbidity' which would assist the students in discovering the impact produced by the construction project built on the river. The turbidity is characterized as the 'unit of measuring the transparency of a fluid or the state of being unclear and lesser sediments being disturbed' which <u>causes a significant fall in clarity of the water which signals that there has been a rise in erosion of soil after the construction of the project</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
