The answer to the given question above would be the second option. Based on the given scenario above, the reason why the new rodent with the nearby rodents and gets viable but infertile offspring is that the <span>new rodents probably derive from fairly recent ancestors that experienced dispersive allopatric speciation. Hope this helps.</span>
Most people in the world get our water from rivers and lakes, including the vast majority of the world’s poorest people.
But half of the world’s 500 most important rivers – water sources for hundreds of millions of people – are being seriously depleted or polluted.* Approximately 40 percent of the rivers in the U.S. are too polluted for fishing and swimming.**
Water shortages will likely be a fact of life for most people on the planet within the next ten years.*** We can’t afford to pollute and destroy our drinking water sources. But that’s exactly what we’re doing – often without knowing it.
Forests, grasslands and wetlands are nature’s water filters. They help keep erosion and pollution from flowing into our waters and they slow rainwater down, sending more water into underground supplies. But every year we lose 32 million acres of forest – that's a lot of water filters, gone, every year.
We are facing dirtier, unsafe water and more risk of water shortages and scarcity. This crisis is real, it’s happening now and it’s getting worse fast.
The Nature Conservancy partners with people communities in all 50 states and 30 countries to protect water sources. We work on the ground to:
<span><span>Prevent deforestation and destruction of grasslands – nature’s water filters</span><span>Restore forests and grasslands that have already been lost or damaged and sending erosion into our waters</span><span>Equip farmers with practical ways to keep harmful run-off out of our waters</span><span>Restore floodplains that act as sponges and send water down into groundwater supplies and filter pollution out of rivers</span><span>Create new science that helps pinpoint the greatest threats to our waters and the most effective ways to combat them</span></span>
But we understand that nature won’t solve everything, so we’re finding new ways to reduce water use. More than 70 percent of water withdrawn from nature goes to agriculture, so we’re helping farmers access new technologies and practices that use less water while continuing to produce the food we need.
Answer:
D. Both a and c are correct.
Explanation:
The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users, acting independently according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling the shared resource through their collective action.
It damages our environment (plants, animals) and impacts local tourism. It is smelly and dirty, and carries germs, bacteria and viruses. Places with a high degree of littering see a decreases in property values, and are more likely to be the site of fires.
Pollution is a negative externality. Economists illustrate the social costs of production with a demand and supply diagram. The social costs include the private costs of production incurred by the company and the external costs of pollution that are passed on to society.
Blowing litter can cause automobile accidents as well as land and air pollutions
Answer: Lets choose a food processing company for scientific study.
Explanation:
Scientific study is the study which involves taking observations on the samples being studied experimentally. Drawing evidences from observations to prove a scientific fact.
In a food based company, several scientific tests are required to be done to check the shelf-life, quality, quantity of the ingredients, and to check whether they are fit for consumption or not all of these parameters have to checked through experimental procedures.
