Answer:

Poaching.

Explanation:

The descriptions for each of the terms you listed:

  • poaching: illegal hunting of wild animals
  • habitat destruction: the process in which a habitat becomes unsuitable for supporting life, often by human activity
  • pollution: the introduction of hazardous or harmful waste into the environment
  • nonnative species: a species introduced to a new habitat, often by human activity, that thrives unusually well due to having no natural predators in its new habitat.

Hunting elephants (an illegal activity in many countries) for their ivory is considered poaching.

Which diagram shows a voltaic cell?
boyakko [2]
Since you have not included the figures with the diagrams to select the right answer, I am going to explain the main differences that lead you to differentiate electrochemical cells.

There are four important terms needed to identify the electrochemical cells: electrolysis, electrochemical cells, electrolitc cells and voltaic cells.

1) Electrochemical cell: is a device that uses a chemical reaction (redox reaction) to produce electricity or that uses electricity to product a chemical reaction.

2) Electrolysis: is the production of a chemical reaction using electricity.

3) Electroltic cell: is one of the two types of electrochemical cell. It is that in which electricity is used  to produce the chemical reaction, i.e. where electrolysis happens. For example, the decomposition of sodium chloride brines is done in an electrolitic cell.

4) Galvanic cell: is the other type of electrochemical cell. It is that in which chemical reactions (redox reactions) produce electricity. The battery of the car is an example of a galvanic cell.

Here you are asked to identify which diagram shows a voltaic cell.So, you need to lool at:

- a redox reaction is happening

- this redox reaction is producing electricity (not that the electricity is producing the reaction)

Remember that a redox reaction is where some atoms are being reduced (gaining electros) and others are being oxidized (losing electrons).

Tha information will let you to choose the righ diagram.

Why do hot objects have high temperatures?
Alex
Warmer objects have faster particles and higher temperatures. If two objects have the same mass, the object with the higher temperature has greater thermal energy. Temperature is measured with a thermometer.
