<u>ANSWER:</u>

Burning of fossil fuels has contributed most to the 'acidification of lakes' in Adirondack region.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • When 'fossil fuels are burnt', they release air pollutants that contain nitrogen and sulphur.
  • These elements form nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide when they are released into the air.
  • Further, these gases react with water to form acids. This acid then falls along with precipitation when it rains and that is why rain is called acid rain.
  • This acid rain results in the deposition of acids on the surface of water bodies as well as other landforms on the earth.

xeze [42]

The correct answer is - C. The river carried enormous amounts of silt.

When there were heavy rains, or the snow was melting, the river got more water, but also more silt, so the silt was partially blocking the free movement of all of the water, so it was flooding the surrounding are. In one way, the floods were terrible because they were destroying pretty much everything on their way, but on the other side, were living huge amounts of deposits that were fertilizing the soil for the agriculture.
