Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which of the following best describes the long-term impact of using a nonrenewable energy source?

A: Geothermal energy can disrupt the water table and harm water supplies.  B: Nuclear power damages the atmosphere by producing air pollution.  C: Burning biomass to produce energy releases greenhouse gases.  D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants."

Answer:

D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants.

Explanation:

The use of non-renewable energy has proven to be a strong pollutant of ecosystems and biomes. Coal mining is an example of how the use of non-renewable energy degrades nature.

The environmental impacts of mining are diverse and varying in scale: from specific local problems to major biological, geomorphological, water and atmospheric changes. Therefore, knowing these problems and minimizing their effects is of great necessity to ensure the preservation of natural environments.

Coal mining can pollute the water supply and kill fish and aquatic plants. Not to mention the degradation of soil and vegetation that this activity promotes.

Classify each statement as an example of adhesion, cohesion, or surface tension. Drag each statement to the appropriate bin. A s
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

A sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket - surface tension

Water molecules ding to plant cell walls - adhesion

A water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface - surface tension

A drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop on the table, rather than spreading out over the surface - cohesion

Water molecules cling to the side of a beaker - adhesion

Water molecules are attracted to each other - cohesion

Explanation:

The surface tension refers to the tendency of the surface of a liquid to remain unbroken by an external force due to the cohesive property of the molecules of the liquid. Instead of being broken, the surface of the liquid stretches like an elastic membrane.

The adhesive property of a liquid, also known as the force of adhesion, refers to the property of the molecules of the liquid to stick to other molecules while cohesive property or cohesion refers to the property of molecules of liquids to stick to themselves.

Hence,

<u>Surface tension</u>

  • A sewing needle floats when it is placed gently on top of water in a bucket.
  • A water strider runs across a pond without breaking the surface.

<u>Cohesion</u>

  • A drop of water spilled on a table forms a drop on the table, rather than spreading out over the surface.
  • Water molecules are attracted to each other.

<u>Adhesion</u>

  • Water molecules ding to plant cell walls
  • Water molecules cling to the side of a beaker
