Answer:

Option B, The neutral nature of water changes due to mixing of various salts, bases, and acids, thus changing its pH.

Explanation:

Water obtained from natural sources like underground water, sea water, rain water etc are not neutral in nature. This is so because water extracted from all these sources contains several dissolved salts/chemical components which either reduces or increases their pH.

The ground water contains lot of dissolved carbonates and bicarbonates (as it remains in contact of rocks beneath the earth) due which it becomes extremely hard and has a pH greater than 7. On the other hand rain and snow water are acidic in nature and have a pH between 5 to 6.

Thus, it is only due to the dissolved bases and acids in natural water which makes it either acidic or basic in nature.

Match the statements with the correct element
Stells [14]

Answer:

all

Explanation:

Biogeochemical cycles are pathways by which nutrients flow between the abiotic and abiotic compartments of the Earth. The abiotic portion of the Earth includes the lithosphere (the geological component of the Earth) and the hydrosphere (the Earth’s water).

Ecosystems rely on biogeochemical cycles. Many of the nutrients that living things depend on, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous are in constant circulation.

Essential elements are often stored in reservoirs, where they can be taken out of circulation for years. For example, coal is a reservoir for carbon.

Humans can affect biogeochemical cycles. Humans extract carbon and nitrogen from the geosphere and use them for energy and fertilizer. This has increased the amount of these elements in circulation, which has detrimental effects on ecosystems.

Which of these resources are renewable? Check all that apply.
aksik [14]

Answer:

Wind

Tides

Geothermal energy

Explanation:

1. Wind does not contaminate and is inexhaustible.

2. Tides are due to gravitational interaction with the Moon and Sun and the Earth's rotation, so it is classified as inexhaustible.

3. Geothermal energy is renewable because heat is continuously being produced inside the Earth, at the core.

swat32
Well when you perform this action you are using some percentage of the sunlight energy as you obtained it from a food that either came from a plant source or an animal source. Also plants are able to make their own food using sunlight i.e

Plants give energy to animals and animlas give energy to humans
or
Plants give energy to humans.
