Which of these is a way to increase the availability of freshwater

Biology
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options -

A-avoid water pollution.

B-build thermal power plants.

C-add water features to gardens.

D-avoid drip irrigation systems

Solution -

The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.  

Thus, option A is correct

Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.  

Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect

Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option  B is also incorrect

The caretaker of a farm feeds hay to the cows to procure milk from them. How much energy will the cows get from the hay?
nikitadnepr [17]

<u>Answer</u>: C) 10%.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The cow will get only 10% energy from the hay as the transfer of energy from a lower to a higher trophic level follows the ten percent law.
  • According to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10 percent of the total energy gets transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
  • For example, if the hay had 100 joules of energy, the cow will get only 10% of 100 J i.e 10 J energy.
  • The reason why only ten percent energy is transferred is because the rest is lost in the form of heat in the atmosphere.

In sedimentary rock the oldest fossils would be expected to be found
eduard

Answer:

At the bottom of the sequence

Explanation:

According to the "principle of superposition of strata", the oldest rocks are formed at the bottom of sedimentary rock sequences.

The oldest rock layer would contain the the oldest fossil. Weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition would bring all sediments which includes rock materials and remains of living organisms to the basin where they would be lithified to form sedimentary rocks. This makes the oldest fossil to be at the bottom of the sequence. As time progresses, the fossil sequence would continue to accumulate and young upwards as the strata becomes relatively younger. Also, we know that fossils succeed one another in a definite manner.

This why relative dating of rocks can be possible.
