Explanation:

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid .It is water's chemical composition and physical attributes that make it such an excellent solvent. Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules. Water can become so heavily attracted to a different compound, like salt (NaCl), that it can disrupt the attractive forces that hold the sodium and chloride in the salt compound together and, thus, dissolve it.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,
