Answer: 37.1%

Explanation:

The crude oil that was released directly affected 1,313 miles of the coastline around the Gulf of Mexico because this was the area it washed up on.

This was out of a total length of approximately 3,540 miles.

Percentage of the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico that was directly affected is:

= 1,313/ 3,540 * 100

= 37.1%

<h2>Major: Environmental Science</h2><h2>When coal and oil are burned, they form acids that fall to the earth as rain. Acid rain can do a lot of damage, such as killing off living things in lakes. Scientists figured out, however, that lakes on limestone rock were less affected than others. Why? Limestone weakens acid. So as a short-term solution, scientists added lime to lakes where it doesn't occur naturally.</h2>

<h2>No single science was enough to come up with this solution -- it took experts in biology, chemistry, geology, and other sciences. If you major in environmental science, you'll learn to use the ideas and methods of a number of biological and physical sciences to tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems</h2>

A worker is using a soft wire brush attached to an electric drill to clean a storage battery. What is wrong with this method? A.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": The wire brush can remove too much material from the posts of the battery.

Explanation:

While cleaning a battery there are several considerations to be taken in order not to damage its function. At the moment of cleaning the posts, we must be very careful since this is the principal contact with the vehicle cables. In front of any damage, the vehicle may not even start.  

Thus, using a soft wire brush with an electric drill is not appropriate since it could remove more material than the necessary from the posts.
