How do scientists uncover evironmental problems

Biology
1 answer:
aleksandrvk [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Science has a central role in shaping what count as environmental problems. This has been evident most recently in the success of planetary science and environmental activism in stimulating awareness and discussion of global environmental problems. We advance three propositions about the special relationship between environmental science and politics: (1) in the formulation of science, not just in its application, certain courses of action are facilitated over others; (2) in global environmental discourse, moral and technocratic views of social action have been privileged; and (3) global environmental change, as science and movement ideology, is vulnerable to deconstructive pressures. These stem from different nations and differentiated social groups within nations having different interests in causing and alleviating environmental problems. We develop these propositions through a reconstruction of The Limits to Growth study of the early 1970s, make extensions to current studies of the human/social impacts of climate change, and review current sources of opposition to global and political formulations of environmental issues.

The density of gas particles in a section of Earth’s atmosphere decreases. Which of the following is the most likely explanation
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<em>A. The air pressure in that section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased. </em>

Explanation:

In the free air, the density of the air diminishes as the air is warmed. On increasing the pressure, the density also increases. The air is packed. The density increments as pressure increments.

The thickness and density of air decline with the increase of height because of that the surface area of the Earth's climate diminishes with increase in height, along these lines gas particles can spread out.

The density of the air is most minimal at a high rise on a hot day when the pressure of the atmosphere is low.

If a grandfather and grandchild are the only two with a genetic disorder, the disorder must be __________.
Anna35 [415]

The disorder where the grandfather and the grandchild are affected is related with the X chromosome and is called Sex linked or X linked disorder.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

All the sex linked disorders are recessive in character i.e the normal allele is dominant over the mutated allele. In females, there are 2 X chromosomes, so the mutated allele is only expressed when there are both the mutated alleles, else its masked by the dominant normal allele. But in males, there's only one X chromosome, so if a mutated allele is present, it's readily expressed.

If the Grandfather is diseased, then he must have that mutated allele in X chromosome. Through reproduction, its received by the mother, but she is normal because the other allele received from grandmother was normal. But mother has one of the X chromosomes with mutated allele, which is received by the grandson who again becomes diseased. So the disorder must be X linked disorder

What forms of subtle implicit discrimination do you recognize around you? Explain
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Examples include:

1. A female employee not given certain rigorous projects which she is interested in. This leaves her wondering if her gender could be the cause of the exemption.

2. A Chinese employee who was exempted from a get together at his workplace (which is dominated with Africans) and he wonders if it was a result of his nationality.

Explanation:

Discrimination is the act of segregating or exhibiting prejudice on a particular set of people for reasons such as race, gender, age, or sex. Discrimination could be overt or subtle. Overt discrimination is frontal and more recognizable when compared to subtle discrimination which is more blurry and difficult to recognize.

For example, if a prospective employer expressly says that female employees are not needed for a role, it is quite easy to recognize this as a form of discrimination. This illustrates overt discrimination. But then subtle implicit discrimination are more difficult to recognize. They leave the victim wondering if the act was actually discriminatory and it is quite harder to lodge legal complaints about these types of discrimination. Examples are some of these stated above.

Why is biomass difficult to calculate PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!!
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

There are many methods to directly measure biomass of herbaceous plants, but, it is difficult to estimate biomass of shrubs and trees. Peak standing crop may be difficult to measure in ecosystems with a large variety of species because each species will generally reach it's peak phytomass at a different time of year.
