Ok, I'm sick and tired of incorrect verified answers and Yes the verified answer here is incorrect. The correct answer is "B." and here is why:

hypoxia: a condition of oxygen depletion in water

Now know this, oxygen depletion mainly occurs when dirt and soil that have been sprayed with agriculture fertilizers are introduced or enter a body of water.

Fertilizers are actually amazing on land and they improve the soil quality immensely, but in the water they promote the growth of phytoplankton. This in itself isn't so bad, but once the fertilizers wear off the plankton die and decay, which then in turn uses more oxygen.

The correction option is A.
Hypoxic zone refers to low oxygen areas in the oceans and large lakes. Hypoxic zone is always caused by large amount of excessive nutrients pollution that arise from human activities such as dumping of factory wastes and fertilizers in water bodies. These excessive nutrients usually reduce the concentration of oxygen in these water bodies.<span />

Within a phase, a change in heat causes the temperature of the substance to _____ as the _____ energy of the molecules changes.
Nana76 [90]

Within a phase, a change in heat causes the temperature of the substance to change as the kinetic energy of the molecules changes. During a phase change, however, a change in heat causes a change in the potential energy of the molecules and the temperature will stay the same.

<h3>What is Potential energy?</h3>

Potential energy may be defined as a form of accumulated energy that relies upon the comparative situation of diverse parts of a system.

The above passage determines the differentiation between the kinetic and potential energies with respect to temperature and phase change.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Destruction of tropical rain forests: helps maintain global temperatures
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

B. reduces the amount of water vapor

Explanation:

Tropical rainforests is an area of vegetation comprising of predominantly trees. Trees play a major part in sustaining the environment, and hence, the destruction of trees will result in certain negative effects or impacts on the environment.

One of the effects of destroying rainforests according to the options in the question, is the reduction in the amount of water vapor. Trees in rainforests contribute to the addition of water vapor to the atmosphere via transpiration (loss of water through their stomata). Hence, destruction of tropical rain forests will reduce the amount of water vapor.
