limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing

Explanation:

A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.

Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.

the specific heat of water is 4.2 j/c. if it takes 31,500 joules to heat to warm 750 g of water, what was the temperature change

defon

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m is the mass of the substance
$C_s$ the specific heat capacity
$\Delta T$ the increase in temperature

In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is $C_s = 4.2 J/g ^{\circ}C$ and the amount of heat supplied is $Q=31500 J$ , so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
$\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}= \frac{31500 J}{(750 g)(4.20 J/g^{\circ} C)}=10^{\circ}C$
