pond ecology is best described as the interaction of the life in your pond with the environment that exists there. A shallow, nutrient rich pond, exposed to sunlight with little water flowing through it will be teeming with algae and aquatic plants. It may have very little animal life present because of low oxygen levels. In contrast a newly created, deep, spring fed pond may have little life of any kind in it because of low temperatures and lack of food supply.
All ponds age. A pond begins with mostly water, few nutrients, and little aquatic life. Over time the pond accumulates nutrients. This enrichment process is called eutrophication.
hope this helps :) and if you guys need any more help about this stuff just feel free to ask cuz my granpa knows all about this stuff and i always ask these types of questions
The DEER is a primary consumer because it’s consuming food straight from the producer
The dimensions of the room is not given. Lets assume a value and calculate BTU accordingly.
Answer and Explanation:
BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1° F.
In other words,BTU's measures the amount of heat an AC (or any other cooling unit) can remove from a room per hour. Higher the BTU, the more powerful the cooling.
Calculation:
Lets assume that a room is 10 feet wide and 14 feet long.
Calculate the size of the room by multiplying the height of the room with its width:
size of the room= 10 × 14
= 140 square feet
Then multiply the size of the room that you obtained in step 1 with 20 BTU per square foot, in order to get the minimum BTU's required for AC to cool a room,
140 × 20= 2800
2800 BTU cooling capacity is required.
Answer:
The correct answers are A, B and D. The Clean Air Act was important because it emphasized cost-effective methods to protect the air; encouraged people to study the effects of dirty air on human health; and created a regulation that makes any activities that pollute the air illegal.
Explanation:
The Clean Air Act is a federal federal law designed to control air pollution nationwide. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to develop and enforce the regulations to protect the general public from exposure to air pollutants that are known to be dangerous to human health. The 1963 law established a basic research program, which was expanded in 1967. The main changes to the law, which require regulatory controls of air pollution, were promulgated in 1970, 1977 and 1990.
The 1970 amendments significantly expanded the federal mandate by demanding broad federal and state regulations, both for fixed sources of pollution (industrial) and mobile sources.
In 1990 provisions were added to deal with acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer and toxic air pollution, and a program of national permits of fixed sources was established. Also new requirements were established for the reformulation of gasoline, the adjustment of Reid vapor pressure (RVP), which measures the volatility of gasoline; and the norms to control the evaporation emissions of the gasoline.
The Clean Air Act is important because it was the first important environmental law in the United States to include a disposition regarding citizen demands. Numerous local and state governments have promulgated similar laws, either the execution of federal programs or to fill important loopholes at the local level in federal programs.
