Aquifers are made up of gravel and sand characterized by holes and channels, like the pores of a sponge. They hold water that ha

s accumulated over thousands of years. The water moves through the pores of the aquifer rock very slowly. Using this information, what can you predict about our ability to clean up aquifers polluted by pesticides, herbicides, and other toxic chemicals

Answer:

It turns really difficult -and expensive- to clean or revert the situation of a polluted aquifer, if not impossible.

Explanation:

Once an aquifer has been polluted it turns really difficult -and expensive- to clean it or revert the situation. Because groundwater, together with pollutants, moves slowly through the aquifer, contamination may remain undetected for many years. Once pollution is detected, it might be impossible to predict its expansion and extension underground. Besides, aquifers are connected, so a polluted aquifer may easily contaminate another one.

Different techniques can be applied to clean an aquifer; however, these are so expensive that almost nothing can be done to clean it up.

The contamination source, if detected, can be cut off, but the polluted area is hardly recovered.

What is the positive solution to the eqution 0=1/3x^2-3
Nuetrik [128]
It's 3...
First you add 3 to both sides.(1/3x^2=3)
Then multiply both sides by 3. (x^2=9)
Then take the square root of both sides. (x=+-3)
Finally since it is asking for the positive solution, you can remove the negative sign and so the answer is 3.

In the northern hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the
schepotkina [342]

The Sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter solstice.

Explanation:

The Earth is not static, but instead it is involved in several different motions. One of those motions is the Earth's tilt. Basically, the Earth is tilted with one of its hemispheres (northern or southern) toward the Sun in half of the year, and then in the other half of the year it is tilted with the other hemisphere toward the Sun.

When one of the hemispheres, lets say the Northern Hemisphere, is tilted away from the sky, and that reaches the maximum, it receives the least solar radiation, and the Sun is the lowest on the sky. That occurs on 21 or 22 December, and it is known as the winter solstice. This date represents the start of the winter for the Northern Hemisphere, thus its coldest period of the year.

The four stages on Earth caused by the tilting are:

  • spring equinox
  • summer solstice
  • autumn equinox
  • winter solstice
