A new mall and movie theater are being built on the outskirts of Suburbia. Trees and brush are cleared away, the land is bulldoz

ed, and a silt fence is installed across part of the development. However, construction is delayed for a year, leaving the land exposed to the elements. What type of pollution is demonstrated in this real world example?

Answer:

The type of pollution demonstrated is sediment pollution.

Explanation:

  • Sediment pollution is the deposition of waste products in rivers, lakes and streams by the means of soil erosion.
  • So in the abandoned construction site, sediment pollution is the major issue that causes the environment's wind and water to pollute heavily.
  • The waste is swept and carried to different places that pollutes the environment badly due to the exposed construction site.

In what way are the humerus and the femur similar?
marta [7]

Answer:

D.

Both the femur and humerus bone have what's called 'spongy bone' inside them and hollow spaces full of yellow and red bone marrow. Additionally, both bones do not attach to the axial skeleton but rather attach to the pelvic or hip bones; while they are both strong bones, they are not made of only compact bone but are made of 'spongy bone' inside them. Lastly, they do not protect any organs but rather allow for movement. D, They both have hollow spaces filled with bone-generating cells, is the best answer in this case

Explain any two specific adaptation that allow animal to survive in Mountain habitat<br><br>​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Among others, two adaptations might be

  1. Avoiding corporal heat loss
  2. Increasing oxygen absorption  

Explanation:

Up in the mountains, there is low oxygen, food is scarce, and adverse meteorological conditions. Animals and plants need to develop different strategies to survive. These adaptations involve not only physical and physiological changes but also behavioral changes. To mention a few adaptations, we can name:

  • Avoiding heat loss. Temperature tends to be very low at highs, so, to <u>avoid heat loss,</u> animals develop shorter legs, tails, and ears. By doing this they reduce the area or surface of heat loss and also avoid getting frozen. In mammals, the coat is also very important. A thick coat helps them maintain a constant body temperature and keep warm. Some amphibians might also develop a thicker skin as they can not regulate their temperature, and it also helps them not to dehydrate.
  • Camouflage: Coat is also helpful in camouflaging. Mammals´ hair color depends on their environment. Some animals, such as hares, can also change their fur color depending on the season. During snow seasons they turn white, and during the warmer season, they turn yellow or brown.
  • Size and metabolism: Small mammals lose heat very fast, so they need to keep active and feeding most of the time. They have an elevated metabolism to keep warm. On the contrary, big animals, such as bears, need to hibernate to reduce their metabolism and get to survive, otherwise, they would need many reserves to cover their energetic requirements.
  • Oxygen absorption: Some animals have adapted to the lack of oxygen by increasing their heart and lungs capacity as well as their capability to absorbing more oxygen from the blood.
