Im trying to finish my study guide so i can study this weekend but i have more problems like this and i don't have a clue of what they mean
Fertilizers and perticides applied to farm fields in pennsylvania have made their way down into the chesapeake bay in maryland.this is an example of_________pollution.
Before beginning any land development project,people should cary out an_______analysis to consider all of the potential impacts of the project on the local ecosystems.
agricultural
environmental
I'm sure these terms are in your book that you are ostensibly studying.
non point source ? Phosphate, Nitrogen ?? what does your book say
environmental impact?, ecosystem ?
again many possible answers
I haven't got a book yet
As you can see there can be many words that fit into these blanks. You need a book or specific source in order to complete a study guide.
ok...but can you please help me with my last 2???
Which last two?
Ill make a new question for them
The answer is ecological footprint.
The first question is asking for the term that describes the pollution caused by fertilizers and pesticides from farm fields making their way into the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. To find the answer, you need to understand the context and identify the type of pollution being described.
In this case, the pollution is caused by the runoff of fertilizers and pesticides from farm fields, which then enter the Chesapeake Bay. This type of pollution is known as "nonpoint source pollution." Nonpoint source pollution refers to pollutants that come from diffuse sources and are not discharged from a single identifiable point, like a specific pipe or drain. Instead, they result from the cumulative effect of multiple sources, such as agricultural activities or urban runoff.
Now, moving to the second question, it is asking for the term that describes the analysis that should be conducted before starting any land development project to assess its potential impacts on local ecosystems.
The answer to this question is an "environmental impact analysis" or an "environmental impact assessment." This is a process that evaluates the potential environmental effects of a proposed development project and considers factors like air quality, water resources, biodiversity, and local ecosystems. It helps identify any potential risks or negative impacts on the environment and suggests ways to mitigate or minimize them.
To summarize:
1. The pollution caused by fertilizers and pesticides making their way into the Chesapeake Bay is an example of "nonpoint source pollution."
2. The analysis that should be carried out before land development projects is called an "environmental impact analysis" or "environmental impact assessment."
