Hi is correct, I got a 100

To determine the correct answer to these questions, we will go through the options and explain why each answer is either correct or incorrect.

1. Which of the following is not a benefit of wetlands?
a) Wetlands provide a place for exceptional weather to occur.
b) Wetlands provide a habitat for fish and wildlife.
c) Wetlands clean and recharge water supplies.
d) Wetlands reduce flooding risks.

To determine the answer, we need to identify the benefit that does not apply to wetlands. Let's analyze each option:

a) Wetlands provide a place for exceptional weather to occur.
This option is incorrect because wetlands do contribute to exceptional weather patterns. Wetlands can influence local climate patterns, such as temperature and precipitation, but they do not provide a place for weather to occur.

b) Wetlands provide a habitat for fish and wildlife.
This option is correct as wetlands are known for providing a habitat for various species of fish and wildlife. It is one of the primary functions and benefits of wetlands.

c) Wetlands clean and recharge water supplies.
This option is correct as wetlands act as natural filtration systems by absorbing and purifying water, helping to clean and recharge water supplies. Wetlands are important for maintaining water quality and preventing pollution.

d) Wetlands reduce flooding risks.
This option is correct as wetlands act as natural flood control systems by absorbing excess water and reducing the severity of floods. They act as sponges, storing and slowly releasing water, mitigating flooding in downstream areas.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is:
a) Wetlands provide a place for exceptional weather to occur.

2. A wetland is to a watershed as a tree is to a(n):
a) Garden.
b) Bird.
c) Acorn.
d) Forest.

To determine the answer, we need to identify the relationship between a wetland and a watershed, and then find a similar relationship between a tree and one of the options. Let's analyze each option:

a) Garden.
This option is incorrect as it does not represent a similar relationship to the one between a wetland and a watershed. A garden is a specific area of cultivated plants, and it does not have the same relationship to a tree as a watershed has to a wetland.

b) Bird.
This option is incorrect as it represents a different relationship. While birds can interact with trees, they do not have a direct relationship similar to the one between a wetland and a watershed.

c) Acorn.
This option is incorrect as it refers to the seed of a tree, which is only a small part of the tree's life cycle. It also does not represent a similar relationship to the one between a wetland and a watershed.

d) Forest.
This option is correct as a tree is a component of a forest, just as a wetland is a component of a watershed. A watershed is an area of land that drains water into a particular river or body of water. Similarly, a forest is a large area covered with trees. Both wetlands and forests are part of larger systems.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is:
d) Forest.
