How do you think overpumping groundwater is related o the formation of sinkholes?
The over pumping of ground water is leading to sinkholes because the suction is forcing the ground in. Also the loss of moisture in the ground of the pumping is keeping the ground from being stable.
The sinking land due to the over pumping of ground water?
subsidence.
Can spraying crops with pesticides reduce groundwater quality?
It depends on how much pesticide you are spraying of course. If you are spraying an over exceeded amount then, yes it can reduce the groundwater quality.Hope this helped!*~*
What are long term effects of groundwater pollution?
Groundwater pollution impairs the beneficial uses of groundwater for both current and future generations. Typical beneficial uses include municipal and domestic drinking water supply; industrial supply; agricultural supply; and surface water recharge. Groundwater flows spreads pollution away from the source area, further impairing the groundwater basin. Examples: A petroleum storage and distribution operations has leaked gasoline, MTBE, benzene, and other chemicals know to cause cancer into the groundwater supply. The leak went undetected for several years. The plume of chemicals has traveled over a mile. The basin is unfit for drinking water supply and threatens a nearby river. Agriculture has historically over applied fertilizers. Nitrates and salts in the fertilizers are highly mobile and do not degrade over time. The pollutants accumulate in the groundwater, over time concentrations exceed acceptable thresholds established by the US EPA.
What is the sinking of land due to the over pumping of ground water supplies called?
subsidence
Is Las Vegas over pumping groundwater?
yes,unfortunately it will but we can strech this time by saving water
How Many communities pump groundwater to irrigate crops and supply homes with water so how do you think over-pumping groundwater is related to the formations of sinkholes?
Many communities around the world rely on pumping groundwater for various purposes, including irrigation and water supply. Over-pumping groundwater can lead to the lowering of the water table, causing subsidence or sinking of the land surface. This subsidence increases the risk of sinkhole formation, as the ground becomes more prone to collapsing into underground cavities that were previously supported by groundwater.

What is least likely to be a source of groundwater pollution?
is it agricultural runoff households dumping acid rain over pumping of water from wells

Do humans effect sea otters?
They can effect them if they built over there habitats or fished all there pray from there habitats.
What is the largest effect on how humans interact with the environment?
Perhaps the major effect that humans have on the environment is the pollution of the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases in this pollution are causing temperature rises all over the world.
How can humans effect rain shadows?
A rain shadow is a natural phenomenon over which man has no control.
What is the effect of different wheel sizes on the performance of a vehicle?
The larger the wheel size the easier it is to run over humans
What is a example of runoff?
A non example of runoff is groundwater because groundwater, the water flows under the ground and as for runoff the water flows over the land's surface
