What errors exist in the table below? Elliptical galaxies can also be round and spiral galaxies are not pinwheel-shaped. Ellipti
Elena L [17]

Answer:

1-false, since its shape is only elliptical

2-true, Large elliptical galaxies often have a system of globular clusters, double nuclei, and large numbers of satellite galaxies. One possible interpretation is galactic cannibalism, that is, the absorption of a smaller galaxy by a larger one - for example, our Milky Way is known to be "digesting" a couple of smaller galaxies today. Therefore they are assimilating or appearing new stars.

3- false, type 2 irregular galaxies are generally new galaxies but the same does not happen with elliptical ones.

4-true, since elliptical galaxies have new and old stars and irregular ones almost all new stars

Explanation:

Types of galaxies. Galaxies have three different configurations: elliptical, spiral, and irregular. A somewhat more specific description, based on its appearance, is provided by the Hubble sequence, proposed in 1936

How can groundwater depletion affect streams and water quality?
navik [9.2K]

The groundwater is the largest freshwater reservoir on Earth in liquid form. These waters though are not isolated from the rest of the freshwater, but instead they are connected with the streams, thus they affect them heavily.

The groundwater has been heavily used in the last century, and it has been depleted. The depletion of the groundwater has been the result of over usage, or to put it simple, more water has been extracted than what naturally is replenished.

This has been causing more and more problems. Apart from the groundwater resources getting depleted and than be unusable, the depletion of their water has resulted in lowering of the level of water of the streams, as the streams have been receiving less and less water. Also, because there is much less water and it mixes with lot of ground and rocks, the water quality has been becoming worse and worse, and if this trend continues it can have devastating effects.
