How does deforestation harm animals?
It destroys their natural homes and habitat forcing them to relocate, sometimes they try to move into residential areas looking for food or shelter and this can be very dangerous depending on the animal.
Animals help in balancing our ecosystem, food chain and acts as a food for us. Now a days we can see that many animals move to residential areas from their shelter in search of food, and destroy our crops and eat cows and animals.
What percentage of air pollution comes from factories and power plants?
A high percentage, probably more than 50%.
What are the effects of Noise pollution in schools?
Noise pollution may interrupt a student's train of thought in an academic setting. It might be impossible for students to complete their work due to distraction. The effect of noise pollution will be a low rate of graduation among students.
Land pollution is bad because it KILLS the ANIMALS. It also affects the growth of our future children.
How does pollution affect monkeys?
Pollution adversely affects monkeys in various ways, primarily through habitat degradation and health issues. Exposure to toxic substances like heavy metals and pesticides can lead to serious health problems, including reproductive issues and weakened immune systems. Additionally, air and water pollution can reduce the availability of food sources and suitable living conditions, ultimately threatening their populations and biodiversity. As social animals, the impacts of pollution can also disrupt their social structures and behaviors.
What is chemical decontamination?
The process involve cleaning or neutralization; it is a specific process for each chemical contaminant.
How do you prevent and control the environmental pollution?
I really believe that we can make a solution and apply it, you know. But then most us don't really understand what are the results of doing these things to the environment, deteriorating it time by time. We can prevent environmental polltuon simply by reusing, reducing and recycling things. Disposing our trashes well to their places and disposing harmful toxics to their right places so that it won't harm our trees, rivers and of course our wildlife. :))
What are the practical solutions to world pollution problem?
A practical solution to the world pollution problem would be for people to eat more healthy and drink healthy water so that they can think more cognitively and realize the folly of their daily polluting activities.
Learning more about water and hydration will lead to less pollution.
Humans are born consisting of 97% of a certain form of water, which is thin water and can pass easily at the cellular level for healthy delivery of nutrients and quick removal of toxins.
As we age, and become more unaware, due to dehydration, we drink a different form of water which is thick and we actually die because the thick water gets trapped in between our cells and the cells drown and cannot get nutrients properly.
How ironic to drown from not enough water.
Can air pollution affect the weather?
Rain can remove particulates and soluble gases from the atmosphere. It an also moisten soils so that not as much dust gets blown into the atmosphere and extinguish grass and forest fires to prevent smoke emissions.
Is the gravel aquifer polluted and if so what is the source of the pollution?
There are "fine sandy gravel aquifers" everywhere and some of them may be polluted, but your question is too vague. You must at least state an area that you are talking about.
How is plastic harmful to the ocean?
plastic can be hazardous to wildlife by entangling animals or being mistaken for food.Thousands of whales, seals, turtles and birds die each year as a result of plastic bags. Smaller pieces of rubbish, like cigarette butts and fishing hooks can be confused with prey and swallowed by marine wildlife causing internal blockages, often resulting in starvation and other complications.as they may be swallowed, causing damage to an animal's mouth, digestive tract and stomach.= It is estimated that some 1 million seabirds and 100,000 other marine animals including turtles, whales and dugong and countless fish are killed as a result of plastic litter every year.=
What is the description or role of a lifesaver?

Why is iodine used when observing onion cells?
Iodine was used to stain onion epidermal cells so you could see the cells more clearly and examine them. Naturally, the cell parts are difficult to see because they are clear.
You put iodine on onion cells in order to make parts of the cell which were translucent, more visible. This is because iodine stains starch present in the onion cell.
What measures need to be taken to address the issue of overpopulation in Nigeria?
Education on the use of Birth control methods to prevent over population is a start...Education on why it is not morally justified to bring a child into the world and let said child die of starvation by the age 5 just so that the two parents can enjoy a brief moment of carnal pleasure is another start,however such measures would take years or even decades to produce positive results..
.
Nature is of course now taking its own measures to deal with the over population issues such as famine and disease that cause mass die offs of the population....
The population of a country can not exceed the amount of resources that said country is able to provide for its people either by natural means or from importation of resources...
Nigeria's Population growth must be reduced or brought to complete stand still until the country is able to produce enough resources to support the current population..
A government program for the mandatory chemical or surgical sterilization of 40% of its citizens would reduce population growth at a faster pace...
What Can Power Stations and Industry do to Reduce Acid Rain?
blahhh ahahahahahahhahaahahahahaahahahahah john smells really bad and deanna has to take a poop!!!
How might pollution affect global climates?
Climate can be changed by several pollutants:
- greenhouse gases warm the climate, changing rainfall and temperatures
- soot changes the albedo of the Earth absorbing more heat from the sun and warming the air
- sulfur particulates and clouds from jet contrails reflect sunlight making the earth cooler
How does wasting water harm the environment?
Wasting water means wasting energy. When the water you waste goes down the drain, that means the energy that was used to clean and filter that water went all to waste. The water goes back into the ground, and it takes even more energy to filter and clean it again. Some water also ends into the ocean and since it takes time for the flow of salt water to become clean water, our amount of clean water will decrease. So basically every pint of water that you waste ends up into the ground, sea, river never becomes automatically clean again.
How much of the water is polluted by humans?
Probably every single bit of the surface water, to one extent or another. Answer: The answer is dependent on your conditions for "polluted" If potability (drinkability) is the criteria, then all of the Earths seas and oceans are polluted due to the salt content. If the presence of any levels of salt or organic material is a concern (i.e. is the water chemically pure water) all water is polluted. About 70% of our Earth's surface is covered by water. However:
- 97.5% of all water is salt water, only 2.5% is fresh water
- About 70% of fresh water is frozen in Antarctica and Greenland;
- Of the remainder most is underground or soil moisture,
COMMENT: But that's not the question, the question is 'what percentage of freshwater is polluted? Is it 25%, is it more? Less? Would you prefer to use a pie graphic...showing a third or more? We didn't ask for the answers we were given and we'd really appreciate it if you simply answer the question instead of answering every else EXCEPT the question. - Jane Streeter.
Machanism of formation of acid rain?
Water (vapor) plus certain gasses combine to form acids:
for example - CO2 plus water gives carbonic acid,
sulfur gasses plus water gives all the relatives of sulfuric acid.
Note that all rain tends to be acid - but the more extreme cases are called acid rain.
How will overpopulation affect urbanisation?
Overpopulation is already a big concern in some countries like the Philippines. This would lead to more houses and lesser plant life, trees, and homes for animals. It could also lead us to over pollution and global warming. Less supply of food resources, possible For war over territory.
What type of things can be biodegradable?
paper, cardboard cartons, fruit peelings, leaves, wood
basically, most stuff that comes from living things that haven't been combined with inorganic stuff.
Yes, they contribute to pollution but when you factor in the tonnage of freight being pulled and figure how many trucks it would take to pull the same amount of tonnage, trains are a much better option when comparing fuel consumption and pollution output. Freight trains today are diesel electric and engineers are trained and expected to run trains with maximum fuel efficiency in mind. The metal wheels on the metal rails act like ball bearings and greatly reduce rolling resistance which improves efficiency.These all lead to the industry claim 1 ton of freight + 1 gallon of fuel = 423 miles. This is an accurate average but keep in mind they are hauling several thousand tons (ie 5k, 10k, 15k tons).These are not the black smoke belching engines of the past.There are also many electric passenger trains that do not pollute at all. Think of it this way; a bus pollutes more than a car but 50 people riding the bus results in less pollution than 50 people driving 50 cars.
How does acid rain affect fish and other aquatic life that live in the lakes?
Yes acid rain does affect the environment. It affects our food by killing all the fish in the water which means it cuts down our fish supply. It also affects the grass and then the cows eat the grass and then we eat the cows. It affects our water becomes one the water becomes too acidic it will be hard for us to drink it. It affects our air because it contains carbon dioxide which will leave traces in the air and it is not good for us to breathe in carbon dioxide. This is all I know
