Pollution specifically air pollution can cause acid. Gases such as sulphur (IV) oxide and Nitrogen (IV) oxide when they are released into the atmosphere and comes into contact with precipitation, that is rain water causes acid rain. Sulphurous acid and Nitric acid is formed thus the rain falls in acidic form.

Acid rain when it falls on the leaves of the flora (plants) causes removal of the green colouring matter (chlorophyll) thus making plants to be deficient of food. Food in plants is made my the process of photosynthesis, removal of chlorophyll in plants kills them due to lack of food.

Also when acid rain finds it's way into the water bodies through surface runoff, aquatic animals such as fishes die due to lack of favourable environment and oxygen deficiency in water. Acidity in the soil also kills important decomposers therefore soil aeration is altered.

Agriculture is changing the environment. With increased populations, there is a greater demand for food. Which of the following
dusya [7]

The answer is D) desertification and deforestation

To know the answer you can rule out the non-possibilities. A is not correct because farmers use them all the time. B is not correct because water and pesticides can flow downstream and carry and deposit sediment. C is not correct because farmers can flood their own farms. When they plant things and a food comes, all of those plants will die or their roots will detach which lowers the food that can be sold. D is correct because farmers don't farm in the desert or the forest, so it would not be an impact of farming.

Flowers are a collection of _____ tissue produced by some plants.
Lostsunrise [7]
There are choices for this question namely:

1. Sterile
2. Reproductive
3. Both
4. Neither

The correct answer is that flowers are a collection of reproductive tissue produced by flowering plants (angiosperms). The flower is a reproductive organ of the plant. It is composed of the male organ (stamen) which produces the pollen and the female organ (ovary) which receives the pollen. Once the ovary receives the pollen either from the same plant or from another through pollination, the ovule (part of the ovary) will then become the seed and the ovary will become the fruit. The seed is the "embryo" of the plant wherein if planted, it will grow to a new plant.

How are tropical rainforests and temperate forests different apex?
Sholpan [36]
I believe the difference is that Tropical rainforests are warm and moist while the temperate rainforests are cool. Temperate rainforests have four seasons; spring, summer, fall and winter, while tropical forests experience warm weather all year round and do not have the same set of seasons. Additionally; tropical rainforests experience much higher rainfall than temperate rainforests.
