Answer:

b. grasshopper effect

Explanation:

Persistent Organic Pollutants or POPs are organic chemicals that cause a lot of damage to environment and living beings. They are generally industrial chemicals or pesticides for example, DDT. They are toxic and not degraded easily. They tend to get accumulated in living tissues and increase in concentration as we move upwards in a food chain.

When POPs are transported to areas far from their original site, the phenomena is called as grasshopper effect. They are carried by wind in atmosphere and finally settle down on land from where they evaporate again to enter the atmosphere. Thus, the cycle continues. Eventually, they can reach to an area thousands of kilometers away from their original source.

*<br> 1. In the water cycle, water goes from a liquid to a gas during which stage?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:Evaporation Evaporation is simply the process by which liquid turns into a gas. Water (a liquid) turns into vapor (a gas) when heat energy is applied to raise its temperature to 100°C (212°F). Water in the liquid state is a compound, and the heat breaks up the bonds into water molecules, which is gaseous.

What part of the ocean have the most competition
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

.....

Explanation:

There is no doubt that competition occurs, but less is known about the strength and importance of competition affecting ecosystems. The latter is not easy to get at for living organisms because the role of each organism in the ecosystem needs to be well-known. It is even more difficult for fossil ecosystems because the diet is not fully understood for each species and not all animals have the same preservation potential. Nevertheless, paleontologists have attempted to find evidence for competition between taxa. For example, they have investigated the diversity and abundance through time of two groups thought to have competed with each other by having lived at about the same time and place and having had a similar diet. For example, Sepkoski and colleagues (2000) showed that cyclostome bryozoans became much more diverse in the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, while cheilostome bryozoan diversity declined. Strong competition between these two groups with cyclostomes as the winner is an explanation for this pattern.
