Acid rain is rainfall made acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environment harm, mainly to the forests and lakes. The main cause of acidic rainfall is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, the waste gases from which contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides which combine with atmospheric water to form acids. It is important to explain that the more sulfur impurities that there are, then the more sulfur iv oxide is released into the atmosphere, causing acid deposition in the rain water and into cities and towns.

This question is unfortunately incomplete. The burning of coal containing sulfur can lead to the release of sulfur oxide compounds to the atmosphere. These compounds <span>combine with atmospheric water to form sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid lowers the pH of atmospheric water vapour, and during rainfall events, precipitated rainfall will be of a low pH (acid rain).</span>

What effect will the settling of sediment have on the shape of the stream?
raketka [301]

The issue of sediment in aquatic environments has been a topic of concern for many decades. During the nineteen-thirties, erosion became a national issue because of the dust bowl and as a result the Soil Erosion Service was established. Since the nineteen-thirties, the study of sediment erosion, transport, deposition, and intrusion has increased exponentially in the United States. Considering all of the past and current research, it is difficult to focus on essential research, but with limited resources it is imperative to refine the topics and prioritize the necessary areas of study. The same scoping is also true for treatment practices. The best and most effective treatment should be used on the most critical habitat. Establishing this systematic prioritization is a challenging but substantive endeavor.

What species concepts is not very useful in defining plant species because some plant groups readily hybridize with other plant
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The <u>biological species concept</u> is not very useful in defining plant species.

Explanation:

The biological species concept says that <em>species are population groups that, in a real or potential way, can reproduce and that </em><em>are reproductively isolated from other groups.</em>

<em>Individuals belonging to a species cannot reproduce with members of other species. </em>

This biological concept has limitations. Its application might present difficulties in concern with asexual reproduction species, such as bacteria, rotifer, cnidarians, plants, and etcetera.

Besides, this concept cannot be applied to the past because it is difficult to deduce reproductive capability between extinct species.

Finally, this concept is not adequate in concern to hybridization zones, something to be expected considering evolutionary processes. This is why this concept has been less accepted by botanists, as some plant species hybridize with other species. For example, species Quercus grisea and Quercus gambelii have overlapping ranges in the southwestern United States. Hybrids showing variation in leaf shape and other traits have been found in many places in this area.
