Choose a specific site for further study where eutrophication is a problem (such as Chesapeake Bay, the Baltic Sea, or the Gulf

of Mexico). List some sources of nitrogen and/or phosphorous to the water body and describe some of the ecological problems due to eutrophication at this specific site.

Explanation:

Due to the commercial farming activities in the MidWest, fertilizers and pesticides are usually washed away by precipitation and drain into the Gulf of Mexico. These elements (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus) offer much nutrients for algae causing them to thrive into algae blooms. Bacteria then find ‘fodder’ in dead algae breaking them down for energy sources. The bacteria, mostly aerobic, take up most of the oxygen from the water as they thrive. This makes the waters of the Gulf hypoxic hence the other marine organisms such as fishes cannot thrive. Actually, the ecosystem dies and the region is recognized as a' dead zone'.

Answer:

Sources of nitrogen and phosphorous in Chesapeake Bay include runoff from agriculture, air pollution from vehicles and power plants, and wastewater from sewage and industry. Ecological problems resulting from the eutrophication include blocking of sunlight to aquatic grasses, stressing fish and shellfish by depleting oxygen, and rising pH, which further stresses fish and makes them susceptible to parasites.

Which of the following is a use for a weather radar a. forecasting weather b. preventing precipitation c. measuring rainfall d.
Elden [556K]

Correct answer: A). Forecasting weather

A weather radar is an instrument that is used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion and determine the type i.e hail, snow or rain. It sends electromagnetic energy pulse into the atmosphere. If that pulse of energy interacts with something, then it reflects back the energy, which can be sensed by the weather radar.

Nowadays, most radar used are Doppler effect, which has dual polarization, it determines that movement is toward or away from the radar.

Hence, the correct answer would be option A.

What if the gas molecules collide at very low temperatures? will that change what happens? why?.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

At low temperatures, gas particles have less kinetic energy, and therefore move more slowly; at slower speeds, they are much more likely to interact (attracting or repelling one another) upon collision
