Which of the following activities is an example of humans overexploiting natural resources? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (C

hoice A) A the burning of large quantities of fossil fuels, which take millions of years to replenish (Choice B) B the destruction of marine life as a result of oil leaking from a large ship (Choice C) C the development of a synthetic drug from a compound originally found in a rainforest flower
CORRECT (SELECTED)
the burning of large quantities of fossil fuels, which take millions of years to replenish
The burning of large quantities of fossil fuels describes overexploitation, which involves extracting resources from the environment faster than they can be replaced.

In human pedigree if a symbol is fully filled what does it represent?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>If a symbol is fully filled in a human pedigree, it means that the individual represented by the symbol is affected by the trait whose inheritance is being illustrated by the pedigree.</em>

The human pedigree generally represents a symbolic illustration of how a particular trait is inherited across generations in a particular family. It shows the relationship between the members of a family and how the trait is passed down each generation either in a silent or expressive form.

Individuals within a human pedigree are represented with symbols and <u>those affected by the trait in question are completely shaded</u>. <u>Those carrying the trait in silent form are half-shaded while those that do not have traces of the trait at all are left completely unshaded.</u>

As a conservationist, what are your top three concerns regarding the hydroelectric dam and the biodiversity of the region?
storchak [24]

Answer:

I’m concerned about how the dam will affect the water flow in the river, which can affect the behaviors of fish. I’m also concerned that some fish and aquatic animals might get sucked into the dam. Finally, I worry that the dam could malfunction and cause flooding, which could damage the ecosystem.

im on a timed test in online schooling and nobody will help me,the question is: The driving force behind the water cycle and how
Yuliya22 [10]

Explanation:

<h2>It is interesting to note that CO2 is still believed to be the No 1 greenhouse gas instead of water vapour. Many excellent climate scientist (e.g. Richard Lindzen, Roy Spencer, John Christy, etc) have dealt with the issue and shown both in books and research articles that CO2 is a very minor player governing global climate.</h2><h2>So what drives climate?</h2><h2>The answer must obviously be found in the hydrological cycle, where the oceans play a major role together with extraterrestrial process with the Sun having the ultimate role. We know that solar energy (insolation) does not vary sufficiently to explain the climatic excursion our planet has experienced on a short and long term. It is sufficient to consider the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period, not mentioning the past ice ages, to understand that there are many complicated factors to consider before we can explain climate variability.</h2><h2>Solar activity is naturally a major player but this does not mean only total solar insolation (TSI) but also solar magnetic activity. Also the gravitational influence of the entire solar system must be taken in account, not forgetting our own natural satellite, the Moon, influencing at least ocean tides. Very interesting views on climate variability and cosmic activity have been presented by Henrik Svensmark.</h2><h2>A very simplistic example how the water cycle could adjust climate is the following mental construct: The Sun warms the ocean surface increasing evaporation. Increase in water vapour content decreases the density of the air, which thus rises to higher altitudes where eventually adiabatic cooling reaches a level where water vapour starts to condense. The availability of condensation nuclei, possibly enhanced by high energy cosmic radiation especially during low level solar magnetic activity, leads to strong cloud formation. This eventually limits solar warming of the ocean surface and decreases evaporation with less cloud formation. This entire cycle can be compared to a very effective thermostat, by some aptly termed the water thermostat responsible for keeping global temperatures at a suitable level depending on local conditions</h2>
