Answer

Hi,

The correct answer option is {A}

Explanation

River Yangtze of China has cities lined up along its banks.This means that waste water and other solid waste matter from the cities could be deposited into the river causing water pollution.The industries along the river might release warm water and untreated waste water including harmful chemicals into the river increasing the pollution.In such a case, aquatic life will be at risk and some rare species of fish could die and completely become extinct.

Hope this Helps!

2 1. Scattering cross-section of acrosol particles is 2.5E-12 m , absorption cross-section is 0.45E- .2 12 m Concentration of pa
Alona [7]

Answer:

T = 3.23 \times 10^{-83}

Explanation:

thickness of aerosol layer is 2.5 km

zenith angle is 40 degree

we know that

\tau = \epsilon_{ext} . h

where

\epsilon_{ext} = N.\sigma_{ext}

\epsilon_{ext} is extinction coefficient

\sigma_{ext} extiction cross section

N = Concentration

\sigma_{ext} = (2.5 + 0.45)\times 10^{-12} m^2

                     = 2.95 \times 10^{-12} m^2

\epsilon_{ext} = 2\times 10^7 \times 2.95 \times 10^{-12} m^2 \times m^{-3}

                       = 5.9 \times 10^{-5} m^{1}

\tau = 5.9 \times 10^{-5} m^{-1}  \times 2.5\times 10^3 m

        = 14.75\times 10^{-2}

transimiitance T  = e^{\frac{-\tau}{\mu}}

                       T  = e^{\frac{- 14.75 \times 10^{-2}}{cos 40}}

T = 3.23 \times 10^{-83}

What effects do some scientists believe climate change will have on the Great Barrier Reef?
Dominik [7]
The answer to this question is D.

Climate change is causing the Earth to gradually increase in temperature, this is causing the warming waters.

Coral has this beneficial relationship with this algae called zooxanthellae. The coral provides a home where the algae provides some nutrients. Zooxanthellae uses photosynthesis to get its own food (It's not getting any inside a coral polyp!)

When there is an increased amount of sunlight there is more photosynthesis occuring, which means more and more algae. 

To disprove C, the great barrier reef is KNOWN for its biodiversity. Theres LOTS goin' on down there. 

Hope this helps!
