Answer:
Many areas of the United States experience explosive population growth. <u>The more people that reside someplace, the more demand there is for water there.</u> Often these urban-growth <u>expansions are unplanned and place extraordinary stress on the water supply system, mainly on the groundwater.</u> <u>The stress often depletes groundwater supply, thereby causing wells to dry up.</u> Then water must be brought from somewhere else to support the local population.
Such situations have occurred all over the United States. For example, increased population growth in the southwestern United States has significantly lowered the water table 50 to 200 feet (depending on the area) since the 1940s. Managing urban growth, efforts to reduce water demand, conservation of the resource, and attempts to increase the water supply all address the problem of exceeding water resource limits.
<u>Human activities affect groundwater quality.</u>
<u>Here are some sources </u>and possible solutions to groundwater pollution:
<u>Agriculture</u>—Reduce usage of pesticides and fertilizers.
<u>Landfills</u>—Monitor for leakage and repair linings.
<u>Underground storage tanks</u>—Remove damaged and unused tanks.
<u>Household wastes</u>—Properly dispose of household hazardous waste.
<u>Septic tank leaks</u>—Properly maintain and repair tanks.
Explanation:
This came from the K12 learning course read this and the answer will be there. I underlined the important parts for the answer.
Your answer is D. 8
16 = 2^4
72 = 2^3*3^2
So you'll choose 2^3 = 8
The answer would be D. The only minerals harder than corundum is diamond.
The nutrients that the body breaks down into basic units are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. From carbohydrates comes glucose, your body's -- especially the brain's -- primary form of fuel; from fats we get glycerol and fatty acids, many of which are essential ingredients in hormones and the protective sheath in our brain that covers communicating neurons; and from proteins we get amino acids, which are the building blocks to lots of structures, including our blood, muscle, skin, organs, antibodies, hair, and fingernails.
Each of these nutrients travels down a different pathway, but all can eventually fuel the body's production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially our bodies' ultimate energy currency.
