Answer:

animal wastes and fertilizers

Explanation:

The majority of the nitrates that are polluting the rivers come from the animal wastes and from the fertilizers used in the agriculture. The increased amounts of nitrates in the rivers causes eutrophication. This basically means that the water is becoming over-saturated with nutrients. This leads to the spreading out of the algae. As the algae spread out more and more, they cover the surface part of the water, so large portions of the rivers do not receive sunlight, which kills of the organisms that use photosynthesis. Further, the algae reduce the amount of oxygen in the water, often resulting in dying out of the fishes. It is a chain reaction that leads from one thing to another and the end result is devastating.

The movement of tectonic plates in two locations is described below:
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Subduction happens in Location A but not in Location B.

Explanation:

In the two descriptions, we have two different types of plate boundaries. At location A, where the plates collide, and one moves over the other while the other is pushed downward, we have a convergent plate boundary. At location B, where the plates slide past each other, we have a transform plate boundary.

  • At location A, a subduction zone will occur. The subduction zone will appear at the point where the two plates collide, and if it is in the ocean, there will be a trench, if it is on land, a mountain chain will be forming.
  • At location B, there will not be a subduction zone, instead, there will be a fault. A fault will occur because of the sliding past each other of the plates, as they create big pressure between each other, so at the boundary itself, there will be cracks in the crust where the crust is under immense pressure and it often results in earthquakes.
