Answer:
Humans are heavily polluting the waters in many areas with chemicals, medicine (for people), and garbage. A way that the government can help stop this issue is to have groups do routine cleanings of natural bodies of water along with prohibite the use of disposable items in the area like cups and/or bags.
Explanation:
Answer:
The earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). Recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. It is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. Both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. The upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.
Each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. The term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. Other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the Great Rift lakes in eastern Africa and the rising of the Himalayan Mountain range. The motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

Collision: when two continental plates are shoved together
Subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (Fig. 7.15)
Spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (Fig. 7.15)
Transform faulting: when two plates slide past each othe
Explanation:
The answer should be B). Helpful traits passed to the next generation through reproduction.
B is correct because in natural selection, if a population cannot adapt over time it will be “naturally selected” and die off, or be near extinction due to non-adaptive ness. Hope this helped!
It is B because I had to do this question to
Answer:
osmosis
Explanation:
The process that was going is <u>osmosis</u>.
<em>Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from regions of high water potential to regions of low water potentials through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>
In this case, the membrane is only permeable to water movement and not ions and water molecules move from the side with pure water (which happens to have higher water potential) to the side with 4% sodium chloride until equilibrium in water potential is established between the two sides.
