Answer: D) to make sure that the pond is safe for fish and other members of the ecosystem.

Explanation:

The phosphate is a chief ingredient of fertilizers used for the growth of crops in an agricultural field. The phosphate and other minerals are added to the neighboring water bodies by the surface runoff. The accumulation of such minerals will promote the process of eutrophication. Eutrophication refers to the increase in growth of plants and algae on surface of water due to excess increase in inorganic minerals like phosphates in the water. This process will decrease the concentration of oxygen in the water body and will result in mortality of aquatic animals.

According to the given situation, the levels of phosphates in the local water supply should be low so that eutrophication does not occur. This can be evident by observing the health of the fish and other aquatic animals of the ecosystem.

Which equation is an expression of the second law of thermodynamics for a spontaneous process?.
leva [86]

The second law of thermodynamics states that a spontaneous process increases the entropy of the universe, S(univ) > 0. If ΔS(univ) < 0, the process is nonspontaneous, and if ΔS(univ) = 0, the system is at equilibrium

<h3>What is thermodynamics ?</h3>

The science of thermodynamics examines the connections between heat, work, temperature, and energy. The rules of thermodynamics explain how energy moves inside a system and whether or not the system is capable of performing beneficial work on its surroundings.

  • Energy cannot be generated or destroyed, according to Thermodynamics' First Law. The entropy of the cosmos increases for spontaneous processes, according to the second law of thermodynamics. Third Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy is zero in a flawless crystal at absolute zero Kelvin.

In the Florida map shown below, use the law of superposition to determine which rocks are oldest? Map of Florida identifying fou
tatiyna

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

You can tell that rocks are older or younger depending on if other layers overlap. B is the oldest because all the others cover it, C is the second youngest because D and A overlap it. From what I could tell, when I took the test, it was either A or D, neither overlap each other so I was not sure so I guessed A and got it right. Though it could be looked at that A is smaller than D since its still growing and building.
