Answer:

1.Because, it destroys there habitat 2. it takes there food away and 3. it could kill them

Explanation:

Landslides affect the following elements of the environment: (1) the topography of the earth’s surface; (2) the character and quality of rivers and streams and groundwater flow; (3) the forests that cover much of the earth’s surface; and (4) the habitats of natural wildlife that exist on the earth’s surface, including its rivers, lakes, and oceans. Large amounts of earth and organic materials enter streams as sediment as a result of this landslide and erosion activity, thus reducing the potability of the water and quality of habitat for fish and wildlife. Biotic destruction by landslides is also common; widespread stripping of forest cover by mass movements has been noted in many parts of the world. Removal of forest cover impacts wildlife habitat.

The ecological role that landslides play is often overlooked. Landslides contribute to aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. Debris flows and other mass movement play an important role in supplying sediment and coarse woody debris to maintain pool/riffle habitat in streams. As disturbance agents landslides engender a mosaic of seral stages, soils, and sites (from ponds to dry ridges) to forested landscapes.

bulgar [2K]

<span>The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.</span>

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct model is D.

Note: The first attachment below shows the different models. The second attachment shows the correct structural model of the water molecule.

Explanation:

A water molecule is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

A water molecule is polar, i.e. it contains positively and negatively opposite ends. The polar nature of the water molecule is due to strong electronegativity of oxygen which results in an uneven sharing of the bonding electrons between oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen atom attracts the shared electrons more to itself, thereby, it acquires a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms acquire a partial positive charge.

The bond angle between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms is approximately 105°. Therefore, from the first attachment below, the correct model for the water molecule is D.

Edward Jenner:

Greeley [361]

<span>Edward Jenner is known as, “the father of Immunology.” He was an English physician and scientist that made a smallpox vaccine from the cowpox virus. This is known to be the world’s first vaccine and this discovery is said have saved more lives than the work of any other human being. Because of his work, World Health Organization declared smallpox an eradicated disease in the 1979. Up to the year 2002, Jenner was still being recognizes in the field of contemporary immunology and was even included in the list of 100 Greatest Britons. </span>

For humans, freckles and broad noses are dominant to no freckles and narrow noses. Use the pinned square below to determine the

Gekata [30.6K]

If we name the gene for freckles with F, then the genotypes for having freckles are Ff (heterozygous), FF (dominant homozygous) and for no freckles ff (recessive homozygous).

If we name the gene for nose shape with N, than the genotypes for broad noses are NN (dominant homozygous) and Nn (heterozygous) and for narrow noses nn (recessive homozygous). A cross between two heterozygous:

P: FfNn x FfNn

F1:

9/16 are with freckles and broad noses

3/16 are with freckles and narrow noses

3/16 are with no freckles and broad noses

1/16 are with no freckles and narrow noses.
