1. Air pollution is the presence of substances- such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, lead and sulfur dioxide- in the atmosphere that are harmful to the health of living beings, or damaging to the climate or other materials. Some causes of air pollution are burning of Fossil Fuels, aricultural Activities and waste in landfills
2. Air pollution from from power plants, vehicle exhaust, and other man-made causes have caused great affects to Chesapeake bay. Firstly, nitrogen from the air enters the Bay via the rain, which contribute to algal blooms. These algal blooms absorb oxygen from the water and create dead zones that cannot sustain marine animal or plant life.
Secondly, pollution from the power plants in the area- consisting mainly of the toxic chemical mercury- pose risk to anglers in the area. These contaminants can bind to sediment and enter bodies of small, bottom-dwelling organisms like worms, clams or crustaceans. Through a process known as bioaccumulation, fish that consume contaminated organisms can accumulate these toxins in their own tissue. Anglers are warned to limit their consumption of certain fish from the Bay due to potentially harmful levels of the chemical.
Lastly, exposure to air pollution will affect those living in, and visiting, the Bay. Air pollution can also cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea, as well as long-term health effects including heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases such as emphysema. Air pollution can also cause long-term damage to people's nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs
3. The Chesapeake Bay is arguably the most studied large body of water on earth. Forty years of intense scientific investigation by leading estuarine scientists have identified why the Chesapeake is degraded and how to fix it. No other water body in the world can boast this level of scientific understanding.
The first action being taken to protect the bay from air pollution is by planting more plant life in the area. Through a process called attenuation, forests can reduce the amount of pollutants in the air. The plants roots and leaves and forest soils absorb and trap airborne pollutants. They can capture more than 85 percent of the nitrogen that falls onto them from the air, keeping it out of the bay.
Secondly people are changing the way they travel around and near the Bay. To lower air pollution people consider learning how to drive the Bay-friendly way; walk bike, take public transport and carpool when possible. They also try to use electric or manual lawn mowers and yard tools instead of gas-powered machines.
Thirdly, the Environmental protection agency developed the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load in 2010 (TMDL). It set limits on the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment that can enter the Bay and its tidal rivers to meet water quality goals. Ever since, the EPA has kept track on the progress of the Chesapeake Bays health.

In planting more trees and plants near the Chesapeake Bay area, it will prevent some sediment and pollutants entering the water. The plants roots and leaves and forest soils absorb and trap airborne pollutants. They can capture more than 85 percent of the nitrogen that falls onto them from the air, keeping it out of the bay through attenuation.
Secondly by reducing the amount of pollutants entering the air via petrol powered machines and cars, the amount of pollutants entering the waters will decrease. Each year, more than 85 million pounds of nitrogen pollution—about one-third of the Bay's total yearly load—comes from air pollution, and with 18 million people living in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, you can imagine how much difference cutting down on transport generated pollution would make.
Finally setting the TMDL will aid in preventing the amount of pollutants in the water reaching a high concentration and hopefully reduce the amount of algal blooms and dead zones within the bay.
5. The bay provides habitat for many organisms. Amongst forests, rivers and streams, shallow waters, beaches and tidal flats, aquatic reefs, wetlands and waters- the bay supports life such as crabs, fish, birds, worms, molluscs, corals, aquatic plants, trees and shrubbery and amphibians.
6. There are many opportunities for recreation in Chesapeake Bay. For example hiking, bike riding, hunting, bird watching, boating, fossil hunting, fishing and golfing.
7. The Chesapeake Bay provides job opportunities for scientists in terms of studying the waters and the ecosystems existing within it, those wishing to attract tourists through the marketing of outdoor activities, those who work in the nearby native American or maritime museums and those selling seafood such as fishermen

Which sentence correctly explains the process and conditions needed for sleet to form? (15 pointsss :)
Group of answer choices:
A. During thunderstorms and extremely cold temperatures, water droplets freeze in layers and form balls or chunks of ice.
B. Both the temperature of the cloud and the temperature of the air must be below freezing in order for the flakes to fall from the sky.
C. A liquid form of precipitation that is formed in above freezing temperatures becomes heavier as it falls the ground in the form of raindrops.
D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.
Answer:
By researching, I would think that the answer is D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.
Explanation:
During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow. The snow starts to fall, and if the air column is freezing cold all the way down from the clouds to the ground, the precipitation stays frozen. It simply falls as snow.
Sometimes, however, a temperature inversion occurs. Normally, the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. A temperature inversion is when a layer of warm air intrudes between the ground and the clouds.
Under these conditions, when the falling snow reaches the layer of warm air, it melts. Then it hits the layer of cold air just above Earth’s surface and refreezes. This all happens very fast, and the result is tiny ice pellets called sleet.
Answer:
D - Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.
Explanation:
Sleet occurs when snowflakes only partially melt when they fall through a shallow layer of warm air. These slushy drops freeze as they descend through a deep layer of freezing air above the surface. They eventually reach the ground as frozen raindrops that bounce on impact.

I hope it helps
Thank U
[tex]\red{Answer:-}[/tex]
✭The Hominini, or hominins, form a taxonomic tribe of the subfamily Homininae ("hominines"). Hominini includes the extant genera Homo (humans) and Pan (Chimpanzees and Bonobos), but excludes the genus Gorilla (gorillas).
✭The term was originally introduced by John Edward Gray (1824), long before any details on the speciation of Pan and Homo were known. Gray's tribe Hominini by definition includes both Pan and Homo. This definition is still adhered to in the proposal by Mann and Weiss (1996), which divides Hominini into three subtribes, Panina (containing Pan), Hominina ("homininans", containing Homo "humans"), and Australopithecina (containing several extinct "australopithecine" genera).
FOLLOW ME ♥️Provide evidence to support the claim that viruses fall on the border between living and nonliving.
Answer:
Just like living organisms, viruses use genetic material such as DNA or RNA, but unlike living things, they cannot reproduce using mitosis, binary fission or meiosis. Instead, they simply insert the genetic material into a living cell and then replicate their genetic material along with the cell's in order to create more viruses.

How many electrons must get passed down the Electron Transport Chain before energy is generated?
Answer:
4 electrons
Explanation:
Electron transport chain is defined as the series of process in which electron transfer takes place across a membrane. It is consists of enzymes, peptides, and other molecules.
There are 4 electrons that passed down the Electron Transport Chain before energy is generated. These Four electrons further reduce each molecule of oxygen. Oxygen binds with free proton and form water and move across the membrane to form ATP.
Hence, the correct answer is "4 electrons".

If an H is for tall trait which is dominant and h is the recessive trait for short,
which of the following crosses will result in 1:1 tall:short progeny (offspring).
A) HH Xhh
B) hh X hh
C) Hh X hh
D) Hh X Hh
Answer:
The cross that guarantees a height trait ratio in the offspring of 1 : 1 high/low is Hh X hh (option C).
Explanation:
For a characteristic such as size, where tall (H) is the dominant trait and short (h) is the recessive, the crossing of a tall heterozygous (Hh) individual with a short one will have a probability that half of the offspring will be tall and the other half short.
This can be demonstrated with a Punnett square:
Cross Hh X hh
Alleles H h
h Hh hh
h Hh hh
Based on this result, half of the offspring will be tall, with genotype Hh, and the other half short, with genotype hh, which corresponds to a tall : short ratio of 1 : 1.
In the other options is not possible to obtain this result:
A) HH Xhh = 100% Hh.
B) hh X hh = 100% hh.
D) Hh X Hh = 50% Hh, 25% HH and 25% hh.
Where do I put the 4 protons
Answer:
the center in the nucleus.
Explanation:
In the early 1900s Germany geologist alfred wegener began to question how the structure of Earth formed over time he proposed the theory of continental drift to suggest that all continents were once connected and have drifted to their current location over time. What was the main reason that wegener theory received a lot of radical from the scientific community
Answer:
He did not give a method on how the continents moved
Explanation:
In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed the idea that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth. This hypothesis was known as the continental drift. Wegener proposed that the Earth rotation might have been the cause for which the continents move to separate from each other. However, nowadays it is well-known that continents are landmasses localized on tectonic plates that move and interact with each other (and it is referred to as plate tectonics).

What are the reactants and products of the light independent reactions?
Answer:
In photosynthesis, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are reactants. GA3P and water are products. In photosynthesis, chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide are reactants.
The reactants and products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis would be as follows:
Reactant: water, radiant energy, ADP, and NADP+
Products: oxygen gas, ATP, and NADPH
In the light reaction, radiant energy excites the electrons of chlorophyll molecules. The excitation causes the electrons to be knocked off the chlorophyll molecule and the energy of the electrons is used to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ to NADPH.
The space left by the excited electrons is filled by electrons from water molecules with oxygen from the water molecule being released as a result.

1. It is held together by an ionic bond
2. It is nonpolar
3. It is polar
4. It has one positive hydrogen attached to one negative oxygen
Answer:
3.) It is polar
Explanation:
Water is polar covalently bonded within the molecule. This unequal sharing of the electrons results in a slightly positive and a slightly negative side of the molecule. Other molecules, such as Ethane, are nonpolar, having neither a positive nor a negative side.
