Read the following scenario and answer the question(s) below.Glass Lake, located in a valley in low forested mountains, for many

decades of the 19th and early 20th centuries was a favorite picnic, recreation, and fishing site for people in surrounding towns and farms. However, in the middle of the 20th century, a trend began in which the privately owned farms in the lake's watershed were purchased by large agribusinesses. The decision was made to grow a profitable crop. The demand for quality farmland resulted in the sale of most of the family-owned establishments and a large increase in the area of land under cultivation. Most of the forests were cut to acquire the land needed for crops. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides increased several-fold by the end of the century. In addition, the combined population of the lakeside villages quadrupled during the same time. The lake experienced a slow degradation of water quality and biodiversity. Sport fishing declined, and the lake became murky, while the sediments in the lake increased in depth.The murkiness (turbidity) of the water was analyzed and found to have several major sources, including ________.

Answer:

- Erosion from deforested hillsides.

- Sediments produced from poorly treated wastewater discharge.

- Sediments produced from the increased plant biomass of the lake.

Explanation:

As per the question, the major sources that have led to turbidity of water would include 'erosion from the deforested hillsides' that gets mixed up with the lake water and spoils its equality <u>while 'sediments produced from poorly treated wastewater discharge' and 'sediments produced from the increased plant biomass of the lake' exemplify the additional sources that lead to the 'murkiness in the water' and damages its quality.</u> Such degradation of the quality of water has led to the reduced interest of people in sport fishing and picnic to the lake site due to the decline in biodiversity and turbidity of water.

What’s a good introduction to an argumentative essay about lowering the voting age to 16?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Should the American government  allow people to vote at the age of 16 or not? Well my opinion on that is this: When you have a group of people with different opinions and judgments, allowing power among st all of them is not a good idea. There needs to be a higher power to take control. With that being said, in my opinion, early age voting is not a good idea. One of the many reasons is because, the brain does not completely develop until the age of 18, and for males it takes longer. People say that you make decisions when you are a teenager, and when you get older you regret them. It is very true, no I do not think that early age voting is a very good idea, especially with the way the world is going. It's going to take a bigger and  wiser person to bring us out of the deep hole  that We The People have dug ourselves into.
