Hewo, Let's understand this in an easy context

Surface water:

  • It is the water that is above the earth surface.
  • On the surface of the Earth.
  • Highly prone to pollution.
  • Found at permanent sources such as oceans, semi-permanent sources such as lakes, and man made recourses such as reservoirs.

Groundwater:

  • Groundwater is the water that occurs below the surface of earth.
  • Beneath the surface.
  • Less prone to pollution.
  • Found at groundwater table, rock cracking points and soil pore spaces.

Factors responsible for degradation of water:

  • Sewage water drop directly in water bodies
  • Industrial waste
  • Oil pollution
  • Acid Rain
  • Eutrophication

What is the likely homeostatic reason for developing a fever ?
zepelin [54]
The body is too cold, so the body tries to keep itself cool by overheating. But, though a likely scenario, would require the body to be frostbitten, and overexposed, and would supply as a sort of plan B for the body to maintain an equilibrium with its temperature; reacting to the conditions around it, and trying to maintain balance within itself.

What's responsible for causing eutrophication in waterways?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The use of fertilizers

Explanation:

Eutrophication simply implies the increase in nutrient or nutrient enrichment.

Commonly, waterways are connected to other water bodies. When water from farmlands washes fertilizers into them, there is an increase the available nutrient. Overtime, the water can be oversaturated with nutrients and this would lead to eutrophication. We can attribute eutrophication to human activities.

How do the mighty himalayas affect the climate in india
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The Himalayas play a very important role in influencing the climate of India. India is a monsoon land only because of the presence of Himalayas. It traps the monsoon winds from Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal and forces them to shed their moisture content within the Indian sub-continent in the form of snow and rain. It also blocks the cold winter storms of East Asia from entering India, thus protecting us from severe cold. The Himalayas splits the westerly jet streams into two branches such that the southward branch entering India plays a significant role in bringing the monsoon.
