___ deposition can cause dead or dying lakes and forests.

Biology
1 answer:
Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Acid

Explanation:

Dead of dying lakes can be caused due to acid deposition. Acid deposition often termed as acid rain is the precipitation of acidic components like sulfuric or nitric acid in wet or dry form.

As the components in the deposition are acidic, when they come in contact with a lake, the acid content dissolves in the water and now the water of that lake become more acidic than normal. This causes a change in pH of the water in lake. As living organisms are sensitive to adverse pH changes, the acidic pH causes destruction of lives in the lake.

Plants are also living organism so they have also a range of pH optimum for their survival. Due to the acid rain the leaves for the plants get damaged and also the water that they absorb becomes acidic than normal so their normal physiology is affected.

if an element has a half-life of 30 million years and there is 12.5% of it remaining in a rock, how old is that rock
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of that substance to decay. However, after two half-lives, half of the half remaining will decay, leaving you with one quarter of the original substance.

So, after 1 million years you will have 50% of the original substance remaining.

And, after 2 million years you will have 25% of the original substance remaining.

After 3 million years you will have 12.5% of the original substance remaining.

And after 4 million years you will have 6.25% of the original substance remaining.

Explanation:

Hope it helps:)

Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather? three layers
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The polar bear is an animal which is prevalent in the arctic region of the world which is characterized by very cold icy climate.

They adapt to these climatic conditions by maintaining a body temperature of 37°C through its thick fur and tough skin. It also has an insulating fat layer (adipose tissues) which is very thick.

This insulation helps in keeping the animal very warm in extreme temperatures.
