Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
Answer:
Only options a reflects the instances with valid experiment or conclusion.
Quality of any experiment depends upon two things reliability and validity. Reliability is measure of regeneration of results every time an experiment is performed under specific conditions.
Validity is measure of accuracy of results of an experiment. It can be check by two ways: internal validity (checks the design of the experiment) and external validity (checks if the conclusion is the real explanation of the phenomenon).
Now, in marine biologist experiment, he concluded the results only after one breeding season. This makes his results unreliable as it might have happened by chance.
Similarly, in cola experiment the taste was only checked by one candidate i.e. Karl. He might have problem in his taste buds. In addition, the temperature of cola can also affects its taste which is not taken care of in the experiment. Hence, it is not the valid experiment.
Similarly. Jeanette could use more plants for her experiment and Robert just followed only one instruction. He didn't perform any experiment.
1. Radiation - energy transmits through particles that ionize. Conduction - heat is transferred through a substance without moving the material. Convection - transfer of heat through movement.
2. Earth receives energy from the sun, which is transferred between Earth and its atmosphere.
3.<span>Wildland fires, dust storms, and volcanic activity. They release CO2, CH4, N20, and sulfur dioxide.</span>
4. Burning coal, releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Gasoline, releases air pollution. Factories, releases carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
Answer:
The time between the end of ventricular systole to the beginning of atrial systole is 100 ms or 0.1 seconds.
Explanation:
Ventricular systole is the removal of blood from the heart by pumping through aorta and pulmonary vein. Both aorta and pulmonary vein receive the blood from the heart. Aorta receives oxygenated blood and pulmonary vein receive deoxygenated blood, while atrial systole is the addition of blood into the ventricular from vena cava and pulmonary artery due to contraction of heart. This process occurs in 100 ms.
Answer:
the food chain is more stable and lasting
Explanation:
where there is an ecosystem with lots of plants and animals you get a stable food chain. where there are fewer plants and animals most animals have to compete with other animals for food.
