Which of these is a disadvantage of hydropower?

Biology
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

Fish populations can be impacted if fish cannot migrate upstream past impoundment  

dams to spawning grounds or if they cannot migrate downstream to the ocean. Upstream fish passage can be aided using fish ladders or elevators, or by trapping  

and hauling the fish upstream by truck. Downstream fish passage is aided by

diverting fish from turbine intakes using screens or racks or even underwater lights

and sounds, and by maintaining a minimum spill flow past the turbine.

Hydropower can impact water quality and flow. Hydropower plants can cause low  

dissolved oxygen levels in the water, a problem that is harmful to riparian

(riverbank) habitats and is addressed using various aeration techniques, which  

oxygenate the water. Maintaining minimum flows of water downstream of a  

hydropower installation is also critical for the survival of riparian habitats.

Hydropower plants can be impacted by drought. When water is not available, the  

hydropower plants can't produce electricity.

New hydropower facilities impact the local environment and may compete with other  

uses for the land. Those alternative uses may be more highly valued than electricity

generation. Humans, flora, and fauna may lose their natural habitat.

Hope This Helps!  Have A Nice Day!!

Which statement explains why earthquakes tend to be deeper near subduction zones?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option C, At a subduction zone, oceanic crust is forced deep into the Earth.

Explanation:

At sub-duction zone, the dense oceanic plates coincides with the less dense continental plates and thus sink below the continental plates. Sometimes these oceanic plates being dense, sink to greater depth with in the earth’s mantle. The sub-duction zone causes  earth quakes of high intensity when oceanic crust penetrates to greater depths of earth crust as they tend to change the rheology of the earths’ mantle and also causes bending of plates

Hence, option C is correct

Is ductility considered as a physical property or a chemical property
Elena L [17]

Ductility is a physical property.

A physical property of a material is a property that can be measured or observed without changing the composition of the material.

In this case ductility is a physical property. It is defined as the  property of a material associated with the ability to be drawn or stretched into a wire without breaking. The chemical identity of the material is not affected, that is  it does not change.

Example of ductile materials include gold, silver, copper, erbium, terbium and samarium.

Other examples of physical properties are:

1. Solubility

2. Melting point.

3. Boiling point.

4. Color

5. Density.
