Describe two things that a sprawling city can do to reduce its environmental impact.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Preserve natural resources, and preserve the land.

Explanation:

Preserving open land, unused land, and natural resources all help.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Preserving natural resources such as farmland, parks, open spaces and unused land.
2. Design with Nature.

Explanation:

Preserving the land keeps it as is. Thus, wildlife and animals aren't removed from their homes and are forced closer to cities and suburbs.

The way we occupy and modify the earth is best when it is planned and designed with careful regard to both the ecology and the character of the landscape.

A. High wind speeds result from a gradual air-pressure gradient.
B. High wind speeds result from a steep air-pressure gradient.
C. Low wind speeds result from a steep air-pressure gradient.
D. Low wind speeds result from a lack of air pressure.

Answers

I don’t think it is any of them because wind speed increases as the distance between isobar decreases or instead of isobar decreases a pressure gradient can increase. It depends on what your doing.

What are 2 ways that the Three Gorges Dam affects the population (the people in China)?

Answers

Answer:SHANGHAI—For over three decades the Chinese government dismissed warnings from scientists and environmentalists that its Three Gorges Dam—the world's largest—had the potential of becoming one of China's biggest environmental nightmares. But last fall, denial suddenly gave way to reluctant acceptance that the naysayers were right. Chinese officials staged a sudden about-face, acknowledging for the first time that the massive hydroelectric dam, sandwiched between breathtaking cliffs on the Yangtze River in central China, may be triggering landslides, altering entire ecosystems and causing other serious environmental problems—and, by extension, endangering the millions who live in its shadow.

the dam floods some habitats, reduces water flow to others, and alters weather patterns. Economic development has spurred deforestation and pollution in surrounding provinces in central China, endangering at least 57 plant species, including the Chinese dove tree and the dawn redwood.

A Small World
How is the world connected through ‘Travel’ and ‘Communications’. Give examples

Answers

Answer:

The word is connected through travel because It connects different cultures and people with different ideas. Such as when an American person goes to India and is inspired to learn more about indian cultures and ways of life. This leads on to communication because that same American needs to communicate with people in India to learn more about their culture

Explanation:

Travel and communication is connected through culture and ideas. If there was no communication then an idea would not be able to spread. If there was no travel then culture would not be able to be spread.

Travel and communication is connected to the world by cultures that have been given down by generation from generation and by the historical books and information about the world and the science you could easily find out like the bones of a dinosaur

( Canada ) The Environment - Preservation
4 Pollution Sources and their Effects
possible solutions

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Air pollution

There are two types of air pollutants: primary and secondary. Primary pollutants are emitted directly from their source, while secondary pollutants are formed when primary pollutants react in the atmosphere.

The burning of fossil fuels for transportation and electricity produces both primary and secondary pollutants and is one of the largest sources of air pollution.

Vehicle exhaust contains hazardous gases and particulate matter, including hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide. These gases rise into the atmosphere and react with other atmospheric gases, creating even more toxic gases.

Heavy use of fertilizers in agriculture is a major source of fine particle air pollution, according to the Earth Institute, affecting much of Europe, Russia, China and the United States. The level of pollution caused by agricultural activities is believed to exceed all other sources of fine particle air pollution in these countries.

Ammonia is a major air pollutant from agricultural activities. Ammonia enters the air as a gas from concentrated animal waste and overfertilized fields.

This ammonia gas then combines with other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulfates from vehicles and industrial processes to form aerosols. Aerosols are tiny particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause heart and lung disease.

Other agricultural air pollutants include pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. All this also contributes to water pollution.

2. Water pollution

Nutrient pollution is caused by sewage, sewage and fertilizers. The high levels of nutrients in these springs enter water bodies and encourage the growth of algae and weeds, which can make the water undrinkable and deplete oxygen, leading to the death of aquatic life.

Pesticides and herbicides applied to crops and residential areas are concentrated in the soil and carried to the groundwater with rainwater and runoff. For these reasons, every time someone drills a well for water, it must be checked for contaminants.

Industrial waste is one of the main causes of water pollution as it creates primary and secondary pollutants including sulphur, lead and mercury, nitrates and phosphates, and oil spills.

In developing countries, about 70% of solid waste is dumped directly into the ocean or sea. This causes serious problems, including harming and killing sea creatures, which eventually affects people.

3. Pollution of land and soil

Land pollution is the destruction of land as a result of human activities and misuse of land resources. It occurs when people apply chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides to the soil, improperly dispose of waste, and recklessly exploit minerals in mining.

The soil is also polluted by leaking underground septic tanks, sewer systems, leaching of harmful substances from landfills, and direct discharge of sewage from industrial plants into rivers and oceans.

Rain and flooding can carry pollutants from other already polluted lands to soil elsewhere.

Over farming and overgrazing as a result of agricultural activities causes the soil to lose its nutritional value and structure, causing soil degradation, another type of soil pollution.

Landfills can leach harmful substances into soil and waterways and create very unpleasant odors and are breeding grounds for rodents that carry disease.

4. Noise and light pollution

Noise is considered an environmental pollutant caused by domestic sources, public events, commercial and industrial activities, and transportation.

Light pollution is caused by prolonged and excessive use of artificial lighting at night, which can cause health problems for humans and disrupt natural cycles, including wildlife activities. Sources of light pollution include electronic billboards, night sports venues, street and car lights, city parks, public places, airports, and residential areas.

1) power plants emit air pollutants and water vapor as fog into the atmosphere that can affect the growth and survival of a lot of plants 2) oil refineries release pretty much invisible fumes that effect the lives of many people whether it’s asthma, cancer, birth defects and many more 3) industrial factories emit air pollutants like power plants do but industrial factories also dispose toxic waste into body’s of water 4) petroleum products (oil, gasoline, etc. etc.) can lead to health effects like skin and eye irritation, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and sometimes even death

Suppose we have the list: list = [1,2,3,4,5,6](Python) What would the list look like after the following code: list[3] = 10 Kelsey had $65 to spend on books. Each book cost $5.50, and there was a $7.50 fee for shipping. She let b equal the number of books she can purchase and wrote the inequality 5.50 b + 7.5 less-than 65 to represent the situation. Which statements describe the reasoning used to determine if Kelseys inequality is correct? Select two options. The inequality symbol is correct because she must spend less than $65. The inequality symbol is incorrect because she can spend up to and including $65. The expression 5.50b + 7.5 is correct because $5.50 per book is 5.50b and that is added to the shipping fee of $7.50 to determine the total purchase price. The expression 5.50b + 7.5 is incorrect because $5.50 per book and $7.50 should be combined to $9.50b to determine the total purchase price. The inequality symbol is correct because she cannot spend more than $65. PLS NEED ASAP!! What is the main difference between command and market economies?
