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.

How have modern transportation and communication affected folk cultures?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Pop culture threatens to eradicate folk culture as groups abandon traditions in favor of a common culture

Explanation:

With the modern transportation and communication, the folk cultures gradually started to become endangered as their existence is in question. The main reason for this is that the pop culture has spread throughout the world, and as it did, the younger generations got more attached to it in order to be more connected to the rest of the world, and that resulted in neglecting their own folk culture. By neglecting it, the folk culture saw a rapid decline in people that practice it, or even know it, so lot of the folk cultures have come to a situation to be on the verge of dying out.
