What contributes the most to pollution?
It's not really well, anything that pollutes the most but to my looks of it I'd say that ground pollution is the worst because people don't pick up after theam selfs or It falls out of the garbge can when It's filled up It's not really well, anything that pollutes the most but to my looks of it I'd say that ground pollution is the worst because people don't pick up after theam selfs or It falls out of the garbge can when It's filled up

How do human activities affect the natural process of erosion?
Humans have no effect on wind erosion.
Humans are causing global warming, which is then changing the climate. This may mean that wind direction and strength changes, which might cause more or less erosion, but that is the only way humans can affect wind erosion.
How does eutrophication affect the aquatic animals in a pond?
As aquatic matter dies and settles in the pond, the microbes use up the oxygen as they decay.
While the earth has suffered a lot due to human activities, there is still hope of saving it. If people embrace the use of green products and become more careful not to pollute it, the earth will begin to flourish again.
How does your country try to prevent pollution?
The U.S.? They really don't care, only the people themselves do that, and they make programs.
A study was carried out to determine levels and factors that influence noise pollution from small-scale industries (SSIs) in Dar es Salaam City Tanzania. Two sites for wood- and metalworks industries were investigated. Both sites exhibited equivalent noise levels higher than 90.0 dBA, the permissible exposure level limit for occupational noise. At a woodworks SSI, noise levels were found to correlate well with machine-use age, wood-feed speed, and wood-cut depth. Additionally, noise emanating from both types of SSIs was found to influence the level of environmental noise in the neighborhood of the SSIs. One woodworks SSI was found to have a circle of influence of about 140 m. The study concluded that SSIs present a serious source of environmental noise pollution in their neighborhoods. Noise pollution from SSIs is greatly influenced by the type of SSIs and the activities they carry out, the type and age of machines they use, their location relative to residential areas in their vicinity, and in-house noise control measures.

the environment could be polluted if there are oil spills and gas leaks,especially when people dispose of rubbish on the ground.the rubbish ends up in our waterways,where fish and other marine creatures could be harmed.sewage is another problem.it effects the environment by killing both flora and fauna,and again,polluting the waterways.
What does pollution mean in a kids way?
It means that people trow rubbish to rivers and it gets very dirty and if people keep on throwing rubbish it will affect us and we will not have oxygen and we will die.
Cloth is biodegradable and is readily broken down if it is made from natural materials (cotton, linen, flax, silk). This makes it an environmentally friendly material.
Cloth made from plastics (polyester, nylon, etc) is not biodegradable, but, like plastic, takes hundreds of years to break down, and when it does, it is often just into tiny pieces of plastic the insects, animals and birds eat by mistake.
What are the punishment of illegal logging?
The punishment is that the person who ever cuts the trees for his personal use should plant the same tree and grow it and should be asked to pay some money to the government accepting that cutting trees is his mistake
How can ground water affect pollution?
The impact varies by the concentration and nature of the contaminant. AT some levels many contaminants are acceptable by health regulations and cause not problems. As examples:
- Salt can make the water unpalatable at high levels and unsuitable for irrigation
- Nitrates can use blue baby syndrome
- Heavy metals can build up in consumers bodies and eventually cause problems
- Sulphites can make the water unpalatable and odorous
- Hydrocarbons can affect taste and odour
- Methane can make the water outcall causing a fire hazard
- Sulphate can outgas corroding pipes
- Iron can precipitate blocking pipes and filters
- Bacteria can require boiling to treatment to prevent disease
How many animals harmed in bp oil spill?
The number of birds killed in the 2010 oil spill cannot be accurately counted, but is believed to be in the thousands.
432 dead oiled birds have been collected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
These are the numbers collected from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on the birds collected. (July 5th report)
From Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and On-Water
Birds: 2327 total collected.
1372 visibly oiled. 946 no visible oil, 9 pending.
1387 dead, 940 alive.
Dead and oiled: 432, (9 pending).
Alive and oiled: 940.
Sea Turtles: 601 collected
116 visibly oiled, 134 no visible oil, 351 pending
157 alive, 444 dead
dead and oiled: 12 (350) pending
Alive and oiled: 104 (1) pending
Mammals: 58
5 visibly oiled, 50 no visible oil, 3 pending
5 alive, 53 dead
dead and oiled: 3 (3 pending)
alive and oiled: 2
Notes:
- Many birds have died and sunk to the bottom of the ocean or have been eaten by predators/scavengers after death.
- Many birds die of natural causes.
- Some oiled birds may later die from complications after they are released
- Some birds with no visible oil may have ingested oil.

What does environment impact mean?
It means the effect of something on the environment eg the farming of cattle causes methane to be released into the atmosphere (from both ends of the cow) which is very bad for the atmosphere. Methane is 60 times worse than carbon dioxide as an agent of global warming. So damage to the atmosphere is the impact on the environment of cattle farming.
land pollution are those things that are trash to the enviroment. This is a big issue now a days because new materials are harder to discard and the recycling issue has been taken seriously by government agencies. Plastic bag can become a pollutant to the land as much as old cans and the rest of the trash discarted daily.
Hello, Below is the definition of land pollution straight from the wikipedia website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_pollution Land Pollution is the degradation of earth's land surfaces often caused by human activities and their misuse of land resources. It occurs when waste is not disposed properly.Haphazard disposal of urban and industrial wastes, exploitation of minerals, and improper use of soil by inadequate agricultural practices are a few factors.[1] Urbanization and industrialisation are major causes of land pollution. The Industrial Revolution set a series of events into motion which destroyed natural habitats and polluted the environment, causing diseases in both humans and animals. Hope that helps.
On the mining sources the surface is exposed to erosion which destroys the quality of the land.
