The correct answer is B. The plastic bottles they use cause pollution

Explanation:

An unintended consequence refers to an effect or result from an action or another event that is unexpected or that was not unforeseen. Additionally, this consequence can be positive or an unexpected benefit or negative or an unexpected drawback that can occur along with positive expected benefits. This means in the case of people that drink more water every day a positive benefit can be that they can live longer, prevent certain illnesses or feel better and the unintended consequence would be "The plastic bottles they use cause pollution" because this effect is negative and it is not expected by those who drink water; however it can happen as most people buy bottles of water to get water and therefore if more people drink water more bottles would be bought and these lead to pollution.

Which of the following is a characteristic of all rocks? Choose one: A. They have a definable chemical composition. B. They are
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. They are a collection of minerals or a body of glass.

Explanation:

The study of rocks needs the observation of their characteristics; its characteristics depend on the properties of the minerals that compose it, its relative amounts and the way in which these were joined to originate the rock. Texture is the external appearance of any rock. It depends on the shape, size and internal arrangement of mineral crystals. Each of these characteristics maintains its specific properties (chemical and physical) in the rock as a whole.

In a rock we can distinguish two types of minerals:

Essential minerals. They are the ones that constitute the nature of the rock and give it its characteristics and properties for being in greater proportion. The lack of one of them would result in the formation of a different rock with different properties.

Accessory minerals These are minerals that appear occasionally in very low proportions within the typical composition of a particular rock. Its presence does not alter the basic characteristics of the rock.
