A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert with not fresh water to drink. He knows he could last without food up to a mo

nth, but if he didnt have water to drink he would be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable, his thirst drove him to drink the salty seawater. He was dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all?

Answer: The salt dried and dehydrated him even further.

Explanation: When we become dehydrated, the sodium concentration in the body is already elevated. Adding salt only aggravates the condition by forcing the kidneys to excrete more water in order to eliminate the extra salt.

How do trees act as carbon sinks?
Romashka [77]


The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.
