Answer:

fertile soil

Explanation:

The environmental problems have numerous sources, and all of them combined manage to create a real environmental chaos and even a total disaster.

The deserts for example are always an environmental problem. The reason for it is that they tend to expand. That process is known as desertification. The desert wind manage to influence the surrounding areas, dry them out, and also move layers of sand on top of them, gradually turning them into deserts as well.

The oil resources cause big environmental problems everywhere they are found and extracted. The reason for this is that the extraction of the oil is done with methods that directly kill off or badly damage the living organisms. Also, the oil spills are common, and they are able to kill everything that comes in contact with them.

The water scarcity too is a major environmental problem. The reason for this is very simple -  every living organism needs water to survive, so without it the environment suffers badly.

The fertile soils are a positive for the environment though. They give the basis and nutrients for the flora to develop, and after the flora is in place, the fauna follows, so the environment prospers.

Which of the following best characterizes a population that is growing exponentially with time?
notka56 [123]

Answer: Doubling in size over equal time.

Explanation: Population exponential growth can be said to be an increase in the number by multiplying together a number of equal factors, where the exponent specifies the number of factors to multiply.

For example, in 7² the factors are all 7, the power is 2 and the exponentiation gives 49.

This example is indicative of doubling in size.

Why is it winter in Australia when it is summer in the United States?
ValentinkaMS [17]
The main reason is that the USA is in the Northern Hemisphere & Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere. It has all to do with the tilt of the earth as it revolves around the Sun. Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun.

How is energy from the sun distributed around earth?
amm1812
There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.

1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)

2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).

3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).

I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)
