Answer:

They have reduced the river's force to almost nothing by the time it finally empties into the sea.

Explanation:

The Colorado River is one of the biggest rivers in North America. It runs mostly through the United States and little through Mexico where it ends its flow and empties into the sea. This river has been the subject of heavy exploitation by humans, and for that purpose, numerous dams have been built on it.

The number of dams is so high and the water is used at such a high rate that the river barely has any water as it empties into the sea. As this river runs mostly through arid and semi-arid areas that are also used for agriculture, its waters are heavily used for irrigation, leaving less and less water in the river as it gets closer to its endpoint. The dams are helping a lot in the economies of the states through which the Colorado River runs but the effect on the ecosystem of the river has been devastating.

TRUE OR FALSE........Aerosols (soot & sulfate particles) actually decrease warming – but they are washed out of atmosphere,

Yuri [45]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Aerosol are generally tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere. These can both be solid or liquid particles. These aerosols can either reflect or absorb sunlight depending on its properties, but most of the aerosols are "cool" type of aerosol. So, these aerosols generally decrease the overall temperature and work as an important counterbalance of the global warming caused by the greenhouse gases. These aerosols can also change the air circulation patterns by changing the temperatures by differential rate of sunlight absorption. Carbon aerosols like Soot are opposite to this nature. These absorbs the sunlight and make the atmosphere hotter.

At high concentrations these micrometer sized particles can be very much harmful for humans. Air pollutants produced from the burning of the fossil fuels causes approximately 5.5 million deaths worldwide.

So the answer will be false.
