What else can I help you with?
How does the increase in the use of plastics affect the availability of petroleum?
It decreases petroleum's availability
What is the only viable solution to the water problems in Southwest Asia?
Desalination is really the only effective way to increase the amount of freshwater in the Middle East.
Name the seven factors that determine whether supplies increase or decrease?
Supplies increase or decrease based on the availability of materials and the availability of suppliers. A fall in cost can also cause an increase in supply.
Is it true that the salinity of an ocean will increase when a freshwater source flows into it?
False
What is the major cause of the increase of the water withdraw from our freshwater sources?
Agriculture.
What is another finite resource besides oil?
Another finite resource besides oil is freshwater. While it is essential for human survival, agriculture, and industry, the availability of freshwater is limited by factors such as climate, geography, and pollution. Over-extraction and mismanagement can lead to depletion of freshwater sources, making it a critical resource that requires sustainable management practices to ensure its availability for future generations.
What might cause an increase in the number of butterflies?
Availability of food.
If you swim beneath the surface in saltwater will pressure be be greater then freshwater?
salt water weights more for a given volume than freshwater and that causes the increase in pressure
What would happen to a current if the temperatures at the poles increase?
If temperatures at the poles increase, it could lead to melting ice, which in turn could increase freshwater input into the ocean. This influx of freshwater could impact ocean currents and potentially disrupt global circulation patterns like the Gulf Stream.
Where is earths accessible surface freshwater located and what is the percentage?
Earth's accessible surface freshwater is primarily located in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, with approximately 87% found in lakes. Groundwater accounts for a significant portion as well, but only about 0.3% of the Earth's total freshwater is surface freshwater. Overall, surface freshwater constitutes about 0.3% of the total freshwater resources available on Earth. This limited availability highlights the importance of conserving and managing these vital water sources.
What does the supply of freshwater depend on?
The supply of freshwater depends on factors such as precipitation, surface water sources like rivers and lakes, underground aquifers, and human activities like water withdrawals and pollution. Climate patterns and geography also play a role in determining the availability of freshwater resources.
Which is heavier saltwater or freshwater?
Saltwater is heavier because saltwater contains salt which adds to its overall weight. Freshwater does not have any dissolved salt so it is lighter then saltwater
