Which of these are the two major sources of nitrate pollution in rivers? the burning of fossil fuels by factories and cars anima
Mekhanik [1.2K]

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.

  • Plate tectonics is a term used to describe how the plates or slabs are formed as a result of faults and folds created within the earth surface and this term also used in describing how the earth was formed due to the impact of large solid objects from the outer space and the removal of gas due to the SolarWinds.  
  • The mantel that is composed of three layers and the top of them being the asthenosphere on which Alfred Wegener gave evidence that the terrestrial plate floats freely on these with less resistance offered by SIMA.
  • The puzzle evidence also suggested by him was about the same theory that made the large supercontinents in existence and from which the later land masses broke off to form Pangea and Gondwanaland.
  • Later on much-studied were conducted in this tic to test its validity and found that the continents were truly displaced due to the spreading of the oceanic floors due to the mid-oceanic ridges and these accounts for 99% of the oceanic crustal masses. It was only possible through the deep exploration of the paleomagnetism and chain of rocks of various ages.
