Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution

1 answer:

8 0

The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion.

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena

What is the bouncing of light when it changes media

matrenka [14]

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is transmitted
light. Its forward progress at any point in its journey is transmission.

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary. The bending is 
refraction.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is reflected light. The process of bouncing is reflection.

Explain how the visible light spectrum is a spectrum within a spectrum.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In the visible spectrum of light, the color of the light depends on the frequency. The visible spectrum is always the same for a rainbow or the separated light from a prism. The order of colors is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Match the terms to the correct descriptions.

Rashid [163]

This can be either kinetic or potential and has to do with the energy of position and motion of an energy- This is related to mechanical energy.It is so because mechanical energy is the sum total of kinetic and potential energy.

This is radiant energy from the sun;it is the only kind of energy we can see with our eyes-It is related to light energy which consists of white light along with its seven colors and these are also electromagnetic radiations.

This is the energy that is transferred by the movement of electrons through a conductor;the electrons create a current-This is related to electric energy.

This type of energy is often found in things like batteries or food-This is related to chemical energy .It is chemical energy which is converted to electrical energy in battery.

This type of energy travels through vibrations on waves-This is related to sound energy which travels in a medium in the form of compressions and rarefactions.

This type of energy is found in the nucleus of an atom-This is related to nuclear energy.For instance the energy produced during nuclear fusion and fission from unstable nuclei.

This is the term used when one type of energy changes from one form to another-This is related to energy conversions.

This type of energy is stored energy;it can be increased by getting into a higher position and/or stretching an object such as a rubber band-This is related to potential energy .It is the energy gained by a body due to its position or change in configurations.

This type of energy can be transferred in three different ways i.e conduction,convection and radiation-We know that heat is transferred in three different ways mentioned above and heat is nothing else than transferred thermal energy.Hence, it is related to thermal energy.

This has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has;basically how the how the object is moving-This is related to kinetic energy which is the energy gained by a body due to its motion.

Mathematically it is written as

$kinetic\ energy =\frac{1}{2} mass*[velocity]^2$
