Answer:

sample:

Explanation:

The population of unionid mussels in the Hudson River decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. Zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. The zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. The unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

What happens when lakes are acidified?
Elena L [17]
The best answer is B - the fish die. Acid rain flows through soils. If the soil part of a watershed, aluminum is released from the soil and into the streams and lakes located in that watershed. This lowers the pH in the lake from between 6 and 8 (which is the normal pH in lakes and streams) to less than 5. Both increase of aluminum and lower pH are directly toxic to fish and they kill off fish populations
