Answer: Option C) "excludes agricultural runoff"
Explanation:
The Clean Water Act (CWA) established in 1972 is a federal law made in United States to address the adverse effect of water pollution. The act was aimed to maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.
A major shortcoming of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is agricultural runoff which is a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. Large scale agriculture activities have an adverse impact on groundwater and surfacewater as they carry heavy fertilizer, pesticide and water inputs.
The federal CWA establish water quality standards and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) to asses the pollution caused by agricultural water with the help of regulatory mechanisms.
Hence, the correct option C.
Answer:
Explanation: Sponges are animals with dense skeletons that are highly adapted to their environments.
Water has a characteristically high specific heat, making it an important vector (or mechanism) for redistributing heat around the globe.
Specific heat can be defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. The units of specific heat are usually calories or joules per gram per degree Celsius.
The specific heat of water is 1 calorie (or 4.186 joules) per gram per degree Celsius. The incoming radiation from the sun is responsible for warming up the Earth. Water in particular, has a high heat capacity at 4.18 J/g*C, which indicates that more heat is needed to warm a gram of water. This is the reason that throughout a warm summer day, the water in the ocean does not experience a significant change.
