What are the methods of waste disposal ? Write in briefly.​

Answers

Answer:

Methods of waste disposal are :-

Biogas plant: - Biodegradable material is used to produce biogas and manure.

Sewage treatment plant: The drain water is treated at plants before adding it to river.

Land filings: - The waste are buried in low-lying areas and compacted with bulldozers.

Composting: - Organic waste are filled in compost pit to make compost for plants.

Recycle: - This means that you collect plastic, paper, glass and metal items and recycle these materials to make required things instead of synthesizing or extracting fresh plastic, paper, glass or metal. In order to recycle, we first need to segregate our wastes so that the material that can be recycled is not dumped along with other wastes.

Reuse: - This is actually even better than recycling because the process of recycling uses some energy. In the ‘reuse’ strategy, you simply use things again and again. Instead of throwing away used envelopes, you can reverse it and use it again. The plastic bottles in which you buy various food-items like jam or pickle can be used for storing things in the kitchen.

Refuse: -This means to say No to things people offer you that you do not need. Refuse to buy products that can harm you and the environment, say No to single-use plastic carry bags.

Repurpose - This means when a product can no more be used for the original purpose, think carefully and use it for some other useful purpose. For example, cracked crockery, or cups with broken handles can be used to grow small plants and as feeding vessels for birds.

What is the main source of nutrients for autotrophs?

Describe how pollution can cause acid rain, and how acid rain affects the ecosystems of surrounding areas?

Answers

Pollution specifically air pollution can cause acid. Gases such as sulphur (IV) oxide and Nitrogen (IV) oxide when they are released into the atmosphere and comes into contact with precipitation, that is rain water causes acid rain. Sulphurous acid and Nitric acid is formed thus the rain falls in acidic form.

Acid rain when it falls on the leaves of the flora (plants) causes removal of the green colouring matter (chlorophyll) thus making plants to be deficient of food. Food in plants is made my the process of photosynthesis, removal of chlorophyll in plants kills them due to lack of food.

Also when acid rain finds it's way into the water bodies through surface runoff, aquatic animals such as fishes die due to lack of favourable environment and oxygen deficiency in water. Acidity in the soil also kills important decomposers therefore soil aeration is altered.

acid rain can affect the surrounding areas by ruining its ecosystem

The doubling time of a bacterium was measured at two different temperatures. Which results would be expected of a thermophile

Answers

Answer:

Increase in high temperature.

Explanation:

The population of the thermophile bacteria increase at high temperature as compared to other bacteria at high temperature because thermophile bacteria needs high temperature for growth and survival. Thermophile bacteria that flourish at relatively high temperatures ranging from 41 to 122 °C (106 and 252 °F) so we can conclude that the thermophile bacteria increase in population in the high temperature conditions.

The discovery of a buried crater (about 200 km across) near Chicxulub, Mexico.

What is extinction?

Extinction is defined as the disappearance of an organism or a group of organisms as a result of environmental factors or changes in the members' evolutionary processes.

It can also be defined as an evolutionary process that causes a species or population to go extinct.

When there are no longer any living members of a certain animal or plant species anywhere in the globe, the species has become extinct.

Generally speaking, species disappear for the following reasons:

Genetic and demographic phenomena.Habitat destruction in the wild.Species introduction that are invasive.Global warmingHunting and illicit trade.

If an area has very little permeability, such as a city where the ground is mostly concrete, what will happen to most of the rainwater?
A. It will become groundwater.
OB. It will be pumped into underground reservoirs by large machines.
C. It will become runoff.
D. The type of surface it falls on does not affect rainwater.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The water won't be able to penetrate the ground so can't become ground water and reservoirs are usually above ground not underground so it will become run off.

Permeability is the ability of the substances to get diffused easily across the surface. The concrete ground results in the rainwater becoming runoff. Thus, option C is correct.

What is permeability?

Permeability is the capacity of the water or any fluid to pass and diffuse across the substances or any membrane to get from the higher to lower concentration.

The concrete ground and roads are not permeable and do not allow water to pass through the material and effects the collection of the rainwater through infiltration.

The rainwater is unable to filter into the groundwater and becomes runoff. This runoff gets accumulated on the roads and can even lead to floods and drain blockages.

Therefore, option C. the less permeable roads cause rainwater to become runoff.
