What the guy above said, although he focuses more on the human side. In animals the bioaccumalation can cause toxicity and diseases within them too, and it can cause large loss of life. It also limits plant growth when in high doses, so new life can't grow in the area once the landfill is covered over

Copper is a heavy metal that can harm many people. This process of heavy metals building in your body is called bioaccumulation and the process of this building in the food chain is called biomagnification. Its hard to rid of this heavy metal because it is very dense, therefore, cannot breakdown in our bodies. Heavy metals get consumed by producers and then reach to the top of the pyramid (us) so we have the highest risk of getting diseases and so on. Make sure you explain that heavy metals get passed from industrial purposes where companies do not dispose of waste properly.

rewona [7]

Answer:

32 meters

Explanation:

You use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Plug in the length and hypotenuse.

60^2 + b^2 = 68^2

Simplify and Solve:

3600 + b^2 = 4624

4624 - 3600 = b^2

1024 = b^2

Sqrt 1024 = 32

b = 32

Why is carbon ideal for making different compounds?
In-s [12.5K]

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

10.The electroscope is a fairly simple device comprised of a metal rod with two thin leaves attached to one end. If the electroscope is given a negative charge, the metal leaves will separate from each other. It is this characteristic that makes the electroscope useful as a detection device. A negatively charged electroscope will discharge when ions in the air remove electrons from it, and consequently, a positively charged electroscope will discharge when it takes electrons from the air around it. The rate of discharge of the electroscope is a measure of ions in the air and can be used as a basis of measurement and detection
