estuaries? A) Productivity in these areas will increase permanently‚ leading to more CO2 uptake and more oxygen released. B) Eutrophication‚ followed by hypoxia‚ is a likely result‚ ultimately leading to less CO2 uptake and less oxygen released. C) Eutrophication‚ followed by hypoxia‚ is a likely result‚ ultimately leading to more CO2 uptake and more oxygen released. D) Eutrophication‚ followed by hypoxia‚ is a likely result‚ ultimately leading to less CO2 uptake and more oxygen released. E) Fisheries

Acid rain is rain that has become acidic‚ because of air pollutants in the atmosphere. Rain has a normal pH level of around 5-5.5 which is only slightly acidic. 7 on the pH scale is the neutral and anything below that is considered acidic. Acid rain has a pH level around 4 which is 10 times more acidic. Acid rain can fall in many different ways and has many effects on the environment. Acid rain is caused by air pollutants in the atmosphere. These air pollutants are mainly from man made resources

Water Pollution Water – The Elixir of Life Can you imagine life without water? Take a minute and think about it. We need water for all our daily essential activities – drinking‚ bathing‚ cleaning… In fact‚ every living thing on this planet needs water Water pollution And what do we do with this vital resource? We take its all important ability – we all know that water can dissolve many of the thing that we dump in it – to make it a giant rubbish bin. In fact‚ we even throw things

What my project is about: I will be comparing results from water testing I did at two different water bodies to prove that the catchment area has an influence over the water quality in the different water bodies. The first water body I tested was the small dam in the bokkie park situated in between residential areas and in the middle of a piece of land solely used for animals. The second water body I tested was the small dam across the road from the Trinity Church in Boksburg on Rondebult Road‚ which

In the context of biology‚ poisons are substances that cause disturbances to organisms‚ [1] usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale‚ when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. The fields of medicine (particularly veterinary) and zoology often distinguish a poison from a toxin‚ and from a venom. Toxins are poisons produced by some biological function in nature‚ and venoms are usually defined as toxins that are injected by a bite or sting to cause their effect

Ayaka Okura 12121053 Evelyn Naoumi Academic Writing 1 Water Pollution In The Philippines The Philippines is an archipelago‚ which means it is made up of a group of islands and is rich in bodies of water such as the oceans‚ rivers‚ and lakes. However‚ according to the data released by Water Environment Partnership in Asia (WEPA) in 2005‚ 42.89% of the waters in the Philippines are contaminated. These contaminated waters have not only been continuously harming people‚ but also the aquatic

taking much effort to explore simple‚ economic and high effective methods to remove phosphorus. Concentration of nitrogen (N) is another important element to assess the quality of freshwater. As the same with phosphorus‚ excess nitrogen also leads eutrophication. But it’s more difficult to prevent lakes from being nitrogen-rich‚ because managing nitrogen input isn’t as easy as phosphorus‚ especially with respect to the non-point nitrogen inputs‚ including nitrate

closer to cleaner air. Sulfur dioxide- is emitted by burning fossil fuels like coal and crude oil. Nitrogen oxide- Is from gases formed by a combination of nitrogen with a lot of oxygen ions. Ammonia- is a contributor to acid deposits and eutrophication. Dust particles- Known by particulate matter‚ It can derive from natural events such as human activities or volcanoes such as construction and industrial processes. Enough air pollution of the wrong kind‚ like carbon monoxide or hydrogen sulphide

The Carbon Cycle is a complex series of processes through which all of the carbon atoms in existence rotate. The same carbon atoms in your body today have been used in countless other molecules since time began. The wood burned just a few decades ago could have produced carbon dioxide which through photosynthesis became part of a plant. When you eat that plant‚ the same carbon from the wood which was burnt can become part of you. The carbon cycle is the great natural recycler of carbon atoms. Unfortunately
