Answer:

1. Endangered Species conservation

2. Air Pollution

3. Destruction of Coral Reefs

Explanation:

"Asia sits almost entirely in the tropics, and as such, is covered in rich, dense, biologically diverse jungle." Poachers, large companies exploiting land, small farms,(Etc), have always been a large factor of how hard it is to conserve the endangered species.

Small farms and large companies burn fires trying to clear land of trees(among other things.) So that then they can exploit the land the following year.

Over the past several decades, Asia's famous coral reefs have always been in dismay. This is the result of several factors like; 1. The ocean absorbs most of the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere each year. While this helps reduce the effects of global warming (temporarily), it also means that more of that carbon is going to be converted into carbonic acid, increasing the ocean’s acidity level.

Answer:

Glacial deposits found where glaciers no longer exist

Explanation:

Scientists found the fossils of numerous indistinguishable showing up species on generally isolated main lands. They had two hypotheses for this. Initially, they conjectured that different species grew indistinguishably over the distant, a profoundly improbable idea. The subsequent theory was that the landmasses had been in contact with one another a large number of years prior, and had by one way or another, floated separated.

These landmasses were in contact at some point previously, enabling species to wander unreservedly, bite the dust, be covered, and become fossilized over these central lands.

Question 5 (2 points) Which of the following is a primary producer? an oak tree O a puffball mushroom a mockingbird a soil bacte

Burka [1]

The correct answer is A. An oak tree

Explanation:

The term "primary producer" is used to describe organisms that can produce their own energy without feeding on others, this includes plants and algae that produce food and energy through photosynthesis using light and other inorganic compounds. Additionally, the primary producers can be identified because in ecosystems they are always on the first level and they are eaten by others.

According to this, the one that is a primary producer is an oak tree because this is a type of plant and therefore can produce its food through photosynthesis different to others that need to feed on other organisms to obtain energy.
