Fossil fuels:

Advantage: easier to find and transport
They generate thousands of jobs

Disadvantage: butning fossil fuels for the environment degrades it and contributes to global warming

Hydroelectric:

Advantage: Hydroelectric power can be created 24/7 indefinitely assuming that the body of water it is utilizing never runs dry. It is also another absolutely clean source of energy.

Disadvantage: The turbines and dams that are built on the rivers or streams interrupt the natural flow of the fish and other wildlife that lives in the area.

Solar energy:

Advantage: Solar power helps to slow/stop global warming. Global warming threatens the survival of human society, as well as the survival of countless species.

Disadvantage: the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day ao it can supply you with energy at night

In which oceanic zone do clams and crabs survive by burrowing in the sand?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Mesopelagic zone

Explanation:

The Mesopelagic zone, also referred to as the Twilight zone, is the second oceanic zone from the top, lying just bellow the Epipelagic zone. It is occupying the waters at depths between 200 meters and 1,000 meters. The sunlight is only managing to reach the top few meters of this zone, while the rest is not receiving any sunlight, thus this zone is not supporting the plant species because they need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. There are lot of animal species that live in this zone though, and they are ll very well adapted for it, often having hard shells or heavily scaled bodies, larger lungs and heart, and very well developed gills. Some of the animals that live in here are the crabs and the clams. They have developed all the needed characteristics to live in this zone. Because they are prey to lot of larger animals, both the crabs and the clams have started to use the soft sediments at the bottom as cover, digging themselves below it, and mostly managing to evade trouble and end up as food for the other species.

Explain how the melting of the sea ice may affect<br><br> people living on the coast of Florida.
Levart [38]

Since 2000, melting ice from the continent totaled enough to raise sea levels globally by about four tenths of an inch, according to the report which relied on the work of 90 scientists.  With what’s already baked into the atmosphere, faster melting land ice will likely add between 7.5 and 9.8 inches to earlier U.N. estimates by 2100, the report said.  And because of its position downstream, in an area of “preferential excitement,” South Florida could experience rise at the high end as water sloshes around the planet, Kirtman said.  “Think of it as pushing down the ocean [in Greenland]. The ocean is fluid, so it’s going to respond somewhere else and that somewhere else is down here,” he said.  In South Florida, planners already confronting flooding from sea rise have been more aggressive in assessing sea rise.
