Answer:

Each year, billions of pounds of trash and other pollutants enter the ocean. Where does this pollution come from? Where does it go? Some of the debris ends up on our beaches, washed in with the waves and tides. Some debris sinks, some is eaten by marine animals that mistake it for food, and some accumulates in ocean gyres. Other forms of pollution that impact the health of the ocean come from sources like oil spills or from accumulation of many dispersed sources, such as fertilizer from our yards.

The majority of pollutants that make their way into the ocean come from human activities along the coastlines and far inland. One of the biggest sources of pollution is nonpoint source pollution, which occurs as a result of runoff. Nonpoint source pollution can come from many sources, like septic tanks, vehicles, farms, livestock ranches, and timber harvest areas. Pollution that comes from a single source, like an oil or chemical spill, is known as point source pollution. Point source pollution events often have large impacts, but fortunately, they occur less often. Discharge from faulty or damaged factories or water treatment systems is also considered point source pollution.

What was the relationship between the development of suburbs and car ownership?
denpristay [2]

After the Great Depression and the end of the war era, many Americans were wanting to settle down into a family life and experience “The American Dream” of owning a home with land and having more children. This led to flocks of people, especially war veterans getting government assistance, buying land outside of urban cities and the creation of the suburb area.

The creation of automobiles by big companies such as Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors along with the creation of the International Highway System allowed for this transition to happen successfully on a mass scale. People were now able to own private transportation, and travel to and from work and commercial stores in major cities, leaving the often overcrowded and tarnished cities and apartment building living to poor immigrant and African American majorities.

Why have wildlife experts only estimated the number of endangered species in the world?
sdas [7]
The problem starts already earlier:wildlife experts can only estimate the number of  species in the world generally!
 
This is the case because there are simply too many species, and it takes time to documents them; because some areas (ocean bottom for example) are very hard to access and because sometimes it's hard to know whether we're talking about a new species or a variation within the same species.



so if we even don't know how many species there are, it's even harder to know how many are endangered.
