What is point source pollution?

Biology
1 answer:
Anettt [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  1. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines point source pollution as any contaminant that enters the environment from an easily identified and confined place.
  2. The classic image of a factory smokestack belching smoke and fumes into the air or an industrial discharge pipe pouring contaminated liquid into a river are some great examples of point source releases to the environment.
  3. Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is pollution resulting from many diffuse sources, in direct contrast to point source pollution which results from a single source.

Hope this helps :)

A fox eats a steady diet of rabbits. No matter how many rabbits the fox eats, he will never start to look like a rabbit, though.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Because that's just how it works.

Someone can eat a steady diet of steak and potatoes but they don't turn into steak and potatoes.

When we eat, we consume the meat and energy of the animal. We don't consume some mystical part of them that gives us their qualities.

For example:

You can eat deer meat and not get as quick as a deer, or lion meat and not get the courage of a lion.

We can apply this to the "You are what you eat" phrase people like to use.

Just because you eat a lot of donuts, for example, doesn't mean you'll turn into a donut, or get any donut like qualities (Except maybe stickiness).

Foxes eat rabbits to be healthy, and <em>alive, </em>not to eat plants and hop around and 50 thousand kids

I hope this wasn't too sarcastic-

Rereading it, it kinda came off like that-

Hope this helps though?

Use the normal ecg trace below to determine how many seconds the trace represents as well as the heart rate.
mezya [45]
Attached is the image of the concerned ECG reading.

In reading the ECG, first you read the heart rate. To read the heart rate, you must count for the number of small boxes in between QRS complexes, specifically R-R intervals. These number of small boxes will then be used to divide 1500. In this example, there are 20 small boxes between R-R intervals. 1500 divided by 20 is 75, so the heart rate of this ECG reading is 75 beats per minute. 

<em>Another way, albeit less accurate, is to count the big squares between R-R intervals and instead of dividing it by 1500, you divide it by 300.</em>
