Which best describes how storm water runoff pollutes Puget Sound?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Rain washes pollutants off streets and into storm drains, which drain into Puget Sound.

Explanation:

"Puget Sound" is a Pacific Ocean inlet that is located in Washington's northwestern coast. It is said that the name "Puget Sound" was given by George Vancouver in<em> 1792,</em> in honor of a lieutenant, Peter Puget, who was very helpful in guiding him through his expedition.

Puget Sound is home to many marine species, such as salmon, Pacific rods, harbor seals, Pacific herring and the like. However, some of these, like the <em>"Olympia oysters,"</em> have been depleted because of human activities. The recession of many species in this area has been increasing over time. It is said that the inlet was contaminated with radioactive water in 1978, when a submarine accidentally released the radioactive water into Puget Sounds.

Another reason for its buildup of pollution is through the <u>"storm water's run-off." </u>When a storm comes, it hits infrastructure's roofs and other surfaces or pollutants. The debris are carried into the drains by rain and are then drained further into Puget Sound.

The toxic chemicals that are carried primarily comes from the roofing materials or human's everyday products.

Why are the counties of Michigan organized in a grid pattern?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The counties of Michigan are organized in a grid pattern because the internal subdivision of the state followed the pattern of surveying established by the Land Ordinance of 1785, which established a rectangular division of the lands of the Northwest Territory, with the objective of facilitating an equal distribution between settlers who would be sent there to populate the region west of the Appalachians.

Thus, the Northwest Territory began to be subdivided into a rectangular shape, and the counties in this region began to take this shape. So when Michigan was established as a state, its counties (as well as those of the other Midwest states) continued to maintain this rectangular shape.
