D. oil spills
When an oil spill occurs in an aquatic environment, what generally is the effect? (1 point)
A. The ecosystem is damaged but quickly rebounds.

B. Natural resources will be depleted, and the negative impact may be too severe to recover.
C. The environment will not be adversely affected because the ecosystem of the world is too large.
D. Rain forests will be depleted, but the oceans will be preserved because of their geographical isolation.
Heat pollution occurs when an aquatic environment experiences an increase in temperature, which can result in devastating effects to the ecosystem. Which of the following is a major cause of heat pollution? (1 point)
A. airports and seaports
B. farming and agriculture
C. residential housing areas
D. factories and power plants
Answer:
1)D)Fission is the process when the nucleus of an atom splits after being bombarded by neutrinos.
2)A)Storage and disposal of radioactive waste is a problem all nuclear power plants face. Most of them dipose the waste underneath the ground. There have even been proposals to send the nuclear waste to the moon.
3)C)Nuclear Power because it does not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
4)A) Oil is more difficult to remove from the Earth than coal This is why, to extract oil, you need an extraction pump and other equipment, while coal can be removed from the earth after digging.
5)A) biofuel - because it comes from agriculture, and agriculture is the biggest contributor to worldwide greenhouse emissions.
6)B) Geothermal power - geothermal power uses the heat from the earth to produce energy.
7)D) - Humans have seemingly unlimited needs and these needs have to be met without destroying the enviroment.
8)C) Xenon - The other three substances listed are classified as Ozone depleting susbstances according to the Ministry of the Enviroment in New Zealand.
9)B) Synthetic materials often do not decay naturally - The best example is plastic, which is a synthetic material that takes hundreds or even thousands of years to decay.
10)C) An environmentally safe base to neutralize the lake - This can be done by oxygenizing the lake.
11)D) Oil spills - Unfortunely, these events have taken place many times. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico caused by British Petroleum greatly affected the coasts and waters of Louisiana.
12)D)The whole ecosystem is negatively affected, and long-term damage may occur - An oil spills afects aquatic plants, animals, birds, and the water itself.
13)B)Natural resources will be depleted - Oil might even run out completely. Besides, climate change would raise the sea levels and flood thousands of cities.
14)D) factories and power plants - especially thermal power plants that burn coal to produce energies.
Answer:
D, ABC, C, A, ?, B, A, ?, B, C, D, D, C, D
Explanation:
(Answers and explanations in order of questions)
Fission reactions are when the nucleus of an atom splits producing smaller nuclei and energy
Lack of space isn't a safety risk
Coal, natural gases, and oil all are burned to create energy which releases carbon into the atmosphere, polluting it. Nuclear power doesn't burn carbon-based substances and so is fine
I dunno but C and D are wrong
All of them are technically renewable?
Geothermal energy uses the Earth's heat, hence the name
Nothing can happen if people ignore it
Unsure
Synthetic polymers are plastics, which do not decay naturally
A base would react with the acid to neutralise it which is the fastest way to improve the lake
Not pesticides?
Oil spills kill aquatic animals and life quickly, which causes huge damage to ecosystems
If nothing changes nonrenewable things will run out and bad practices will have caused irreparable damage worldwide
Big factories are pumping out the bad stuff
.Can travel through a vacuum
.Travels most slowly through a gas
.Speeds up when temperature is increased
.Is caused by vibration
or eat. But it's important for getting the right amount of air into the lungs.
Which answer choice BEST supports the idea that intubation is a necessary part of ventilator treatment?
(A) But when the lungs fill up with fluid or become highly inflamed, the lungs can't expand enough, Lutchen
says.
(B) This actively pushes air into the lungs and can keep the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the
blood close to normal.
(C) If the ventilator simply blew into a person's mouth, the air might expand their cheeks or leak out of their
noes instead of going into the lungs, he says.
(D) When the lungs are damaged, the millions of balloons take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide
differently than when they are healthy, he says.
Answer:
It may be required when respiratory distress or airway integrity cannot be achieved or maintained for any reason.
(B) This actively pushes air into the lungs and can keep the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the
blood close to normal.
