How do nitrates get into the surface water

Biology
1 answer:
loris [4]3 years ago
3 0
Natural levels of nitrate in Minnesota groundwater are usually quite low (less than 1 milligram per liter [mg/L] of nitrate-nitrogen). However, where sources of nitrate such as fertilizers, animal wastes, or human sewage are concentrated near the ground surface, nitrate may seep down and contaminate the groundwater. Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater are often caused by run-off from barnyards or feedlots, excessive use of fertilizers, or septic systems.

Wells most vulnerable to nitrate contamination include shallow wells, dug wells with casing which is not watertight, and wells with damaged, leaking casing or fittings.

Nitrate contamination of a well is often regarded as a first sign of deteriorating groundwater quality.

Receptors that are especially important for helping a person maintain balance are located in the (A) gyrus cinguli (B) inner ear
Lera25 [3.4K]

The receptors that aid in allowing a person to maintain balance are located within the inner ear.

The human ability to walk upright without falling, and a wide variety of other tasks that we perform as all thanks to our ability to maintain balance. This ability is given to us by structures located deep within the inner ear.

The inner ear is located deep within the lateral side of the head. This ear contains 3 semicircular canals or ducts, which are tiny structures filled with liquid. Each of these canals has an expansion at its end known as the ampulla, which holds within it the very small cellular balance receptors called crista.
