Answer:

The addition of pesticides and chemicals into the water of lakes and streams affects an ecosystem because it kills or weakens much of the fish population. Weakened fish are easy prey for predators, and predators that rely on fish for their food may find an insufficient supply. Another problem is that the water bugs or plant life that the fish feed on will increase in population, throwing off the balance of the ecosystem. Finally, algae and bacteria grow too quickly with the addition of chemical fertilizers. This can cause dead zones, where there is not enough oxygen in the water for fish to survive.

Answer:

Explanation:

Social media is a double-edged sword in situations such as this one. In one point of view, it is a great tool to allow people from all over the world to unite and share what is important to them with those they love. Unfortunately, at the same time, certain individuals can use Social media to spread hate. This perpetuates attacks on gays and many other groups as individuals that harbor lots of hate towards these groups can form their own hate groups to target anyone and everyone who they dislike. This can quickly get out of hand, and since it is incredibly easy to access social media and find like-minded individuals, it leads to perpetuating attacks.
