i can't post the diagram but it it an cause or affect it says
1.farmers use pesticides to protect crops.
number 2 is blank because i think its A
3. toxic water reaches the ocean and harms marine life and ecosystem.
which one goes in number 2.
Identify the missing step in the sequence describing how farming in Central America and the Caribbean can have a negative impact on the ocean.
A.
Factories that make pesticides dump their waste products into the ocean, polluting it.
B.
Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean.
C.
Earthquakes and mudslides push crops into rivers where the pesticides wash away and reach the ocean.
D.
Most farms are located along the coast, where flooding can wash pesticides into the ocean.
my best answer A
please correct me if right or wrong
I think your right....?
Based on the given information, choice B is the most likely missing step in the sequence. Rain washing pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean, would connect the action of farmers using pesticides to the toxic water reaching the ocean and harming marine life and the ecosystem. Therefore, the correct answer would be:
B. Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean.
To determine the correct answer for the missing step in the sequence describing how farming in Central America and the Caribbean can have a negative impact on the ocean, let's analyze the options provided:
A. Factories that make pesticides dump their waste products into the ocean, polluting it.
B. Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean.
C. Earthquakes and mudslides push crops into rivers where the pesticides wash away and reach the ocean.
D. Most farms are located along the coast, where flooding can wash pesticides into the ocean.
Based on the information given in the question, option B seems to be the most logical missing step. It states that rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean. This step connects the use of pesticides by farmers with the toxic water reaching the ocean and harming marine life and the ecosystem.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean.
