Do you know #22

After A little While Of Thinking I believe 16.) Is Stop 18.) is Nonpoint Source and 19 is Cost Benefit

Oh and Damon thank you for the help i believe u are right thoe <3

I hadn't seen ur post till after laggy internet :P

did you get these correct and was 16 stop or reverse

14.) The loss of many species of organisms due to the removal of a forest ecosystem through clear-cutting is called habitat destruction. Clear-cutting involves cutting down all trees in a designated area, which destroys the habitat of organisms living in the forest.

15.) When fossil fuels are burned, they produce carbon dioxide, which is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming trends. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and causing global temperatures to rise.

16.) By switching from fossil fuels to solar, wind, hydroelectric, and other renewable sources of energy, humans can help reverse the trends in biodiversity loss. This is because renewable energy sources have a lower impact on ecosystems, reducing habitat destruction and pollution associated with fossil fuel extraction and burning.

17.) Depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere has slowed because of an international ban on the manufacture of chemical compounds used in refrigerators and aerosol spray cans. These compounds, known as ozone-depleting substances, were responsible for depleting the protective ozone layer in the upper atmosphere.

18.) Fertilizers and pesticides that are applied to farm fields in Pennsylvania can make their way down into the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. This is an example of non-point source pollution. Non-point source pollution occurs when pollutants, such as chemicals from agriculture, do not come from a single identifiable source but rather from multiple sources across an area, making their impact harder to trace and mitigate.

19.) Before beginning any land development project, people should carry out an environmental impact analysis to consider all of the potential impacts of the project on the local ecosystems. An environmental impact analysis assesses the potential effects of a project on the environment, including impacts on biodiversity, habitat, air and water quality, and other ecological factors.

20.) If changing conditions lead to decreased oxygen levels in a stream, the carrying capacity of the stream for trout will decrease. Oxygen level in the water is therefore a limiting factor with respect to the number of trout that a particular stream can support. Carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size that an environment can sustain given its available resources, such as food, water, and oxygen.

21.) To conserve materials and energy, it is best to recycle as much solid waste as possible. Recycling slows the rate of waste going into landfills. Landfills are sites where waste is disposed of and buried, and they can have negative environmental impacts, such as the release of greenhouse gases and the contamination of soil and groundwater.

22.) Disturbance of an ecosystem by human activity often has negative effects on the number of species, which is a measure of its biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the variety of species and their genetic diversity within a particular area. Human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change can reduce biodiversity, leading to a decline in the number of species in an ecosystem.

Yes, all of Damon's answers are correct.
