I would go for 'c'. The reason being, is that it doesn't do much, and I am also assuming that offshore drilling will not affect underwater sources, which are linked to the ocean.
Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanicaland chemical. Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.
Hope this helped ya
Scientist wanted to heat up DNA replication to make the reaction go faster. B
HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^
A mold was developing in some of the culture dishes used by Sir Alexander Fleming and was eliminating some of the bacterial population. The hypothesis is that the mold was generating a chemical, which was toxic to the bacteria in the dishes and killed them.
The hypothesis was examined by separating the Penicillium and administering it into the solution of nutrient broth. After the growth of Penicillium it was withdrawn from the broth. The broth was then eventually supplemented to the bacteria and the bacteria died. Thus, it can be concluded that the hypothesis is supported.
