The correct answers are:

<em>- habitat destruction;</em>

The fossils fuels are devastating towards the habitat, and at the places where they are extracted, or at the places where they are manufactured, or there's some accidents with them, they cause a very big long term damage to the habitat.

<em>- air pollution;</em>

Through the combustion of the fossils fuels, lots of gases go into the atmosphere, change its composition, and pollute it.

<em>- add to greenhouse effect;</em>

From the fossil fuel combustion (mainly from oil) and leaking (from natural gas), the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane are significantly increased in the atmosphere, and they are the two gases that contribute the most to the Greenhouse effect.

<em>- water pollution;</em>

It is common for the fossil fuels to end up in the water bodies, be it in small amounts though the garbage, or by some disastrous leaking, and whichever way it is, it is totally destroying the water for a long period of time.

What could be the effects of polluting the water in a small mountain stream​
marshall27 [118]

Answer: Water pollution can have disastrous effects on the environment.

Explanation:

  • Pollution in the water can reach a point where there isn't enough oxygen in the water for the fish to breathe. The fish can suffocate and not have enough air.
  • Pollution affects the entire food chain. Small fishes absorb pollutants, such as chemicals, into their bodies. Bigger fishes eat the smaller fishes and get the pollutants as well. Birds or other animals may eat the bigger fishes and be harmed by the pollutants. One example of this was the use of the insecticide (bug killer) DDT, which is when birds of prey ate fishes that were infected with it, they would lay eggs with thin shells. The population of birds of prey began to drop until DDT was banished.
  • Sewage causes major problems in rivers. Bacteria in the water will use oxygen to break down the sewage. If there is too much sewage, the bacteria could use up oxygen until there won't be enough left for the fish.
  • Water pollution from major events like acid rain or oil spills can completely destroy marine habitats.
  • One of the most important commodities for life on planet Earth is clean water. For over 1 billion people on the planet, clean water is nearly impossible to get. Dirty, polluted water can make them sick enough to die.

Which type of projection is best for sorting nations by language?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Cylindrical map projections

Explanation:

Cylindrical map projections are used for portraying the Earth. Cylindrical map projections are rectangles, but are called cylindrical because they can be rolled up and their edges mapped in a tube, or cylinder. They have straight coordinate lines with horizontal parallels crossing meridians at right angles. All meridians are equally spaced and the scale is consistent along each parallel. The only factor that distinguishes different cylindrical map projections from one another is the scale used when spacing the parallel lines on the map.

Cylindrical map projections are great for comparing latitudes to each other and are useful for teaching and visualizing the world as a whole, by determining continents, languages, etc but really aren’t the most accurate way of visualizing how the world really looks in its entirety.
