let first take look at this , all types of mining will bring negative impact for environment, but C. Subsurface mining less harmful to the environment because it happens underground before we even do this type of mining we make guidelines that will help us in doing this . Surface mining: Will cause contamination of soil and groundwater which may lead to loss in biodiversity. placer mining will also affect our aquatic ecosystem.

It would be placer because you are not digging up any ground..if that is not right it might be none because if you are messing with water environments you are still messing with it which could not be good

What are some intersting facts about cytoplasm

Westkost [7]

Here are Five interesting facts about cytoplasam.

1. cytoplasm is about 80% water but also contains dissolved carbs, proteins and fats.
2. the nucleus has its own type of cytoplasm that is slightly different than that of the rest of the cell. it is called nucleoplasm.
3. when cytoplasm is in a watery state, it is called cytosol and when it's more jelly-like, it is called cytogel
4. in an animal cell, cytoplasm gives the cell its shape.
5. cytoplasm is a good conductor of electricity.

Answer:

Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.

Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists are concerned about the areas created or enhanced by human activity. There are many physical, chemical, and biological factors that combine to create dead zones, but nutrient pollution is the primary cause of those zones created by humans. Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life.

Dead zones occur in coastal areas around the nation and in the Great Lakes — no part of the country or the world is immune. The second largest dead zone in the world is located in the U.S., in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Scientists interested in knowing the best way to restore an area after a temporary road was built through it completed a study c

Drupady [299]

Answer:

This study was focused on an Ecosystem level, as it involved soil properties and above-ground vegetation interacting with mentioned soil physic properties.

Explanation:

Ecological studies can be performed at different hierarchy levels:

- Organism: This is an individual physiologically independent from other individuals. At this level, it must be understood how an organism survives under certain changing physic and chemistry conditions, and how it behaves to reproduce, avoid predators, and find food.

- Population: Groups of individuals from the same species, with similar characteristics, capable of crossing, leaving offspring that live in the same habitat at the same time. At this level, it is interesting to know the size of the population required to leave fertile offspring that ensure the population will survive over time. It is also interesting to know genetic variability that allows evolutive adaptation to environmental changes.

- Community: Relationship or interaction between different species groups that live in the same habitat and at the same time. At this level, it is interesting to study inter-specific interactions that could cause changes in the populations´ size. These could be the cases of competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, and etcetera.

- Ecosystem: Basic interaction unit between population and environment that turn in complex relations existing between living and non-living elements in a given area. In the example, interactions between recovering vegetation and soil properties, as non-living elements.
