What happens if fish are out of water?
After a certain period of time, they will die naturally. Water is their natural habitat.
Does tap water affect people sources of food water and air?
Yes, tap water can affect sources of food, water, and air. Contaminants in tap water can impact agricultural practices by affecting the quality of irrigation water used for crops, potentially leading to food safety issues. Additionally, polluted tap water can contribute to health problems for both people and animals, which can indirectly influence air quality through increased emissions from health-related activities. Overall, the quality of tap water is integral to maintaining healthy ecosystems and food systems.
What other companies were involved in the BP oil spill in 2010?
Besides BP, Haliburton and Transocean were major companies involved in the BP oil spill.
Haliburton was responsible for construction of the well including the cementing of the well.
Transocean was the company who's personnel was responsible for operating the well.
What could cause a 2006 Chevy Malibu to vibrate in park?
If it's a severe vibration, expect a bad mount. If it's very slight, that might just be normal operation of the reciprocating engine.
Who was responsible for the oil spil in last April?
The Operator of the well and the lease (Mississippi Canyon 252) have primary responsibility for the oil spill. This is British Petroleum (BP). For this reason, BP paid for the clean up effort.
However, investigations are underway to identify the causes of the accident. As a result of these investigations, it is possible that actions of Transocean rig crew, (Transocean owns the Deepwater Horizon rig), may have contributed to the accident.
Also, it is possible that Halliburton contributed to the accident, as they prepared the cement used in the Macondo well. It is generally believed that the cement was unstable (not of uniform density) when it was used.
Why ground water important to human life?
Because ground water is a great source of good quality water used for drinking and irrigation worldwide. It is the future source of a clean water supply for future generations of people.
What is your role in your environment?
I must have to give only 10 min of my every day to my best friend enviornment.then i will sure that i can complete at least some reat duty of my life
What could be the cause of your shower water not turning off?
The hot and cold shower knobs open and close the valves that release and stop the water flow. Water will continue to flow from the shower head if the washers or other internal parts of one or both of those valves have become damaged or excessively worn. Repair may be as (relatively) easy as replacing a washer, or it may mean replacing other internal parts. Usually it's not necessary to replace the entire valve, which is a good thing, because that's very hard in a finished house. You'll be able to tell which valve needs repaired according to whether it's the hot or cold water that's still flowing. (If this is a tub shower and the symptom is that warm water comes from the shower head even when the diverter valve is set to tub, then that diverter valve is likely the one with the problem.) Do-it-yourself plumbing repair books at hardware stores and home centers have good guides on doing water valve repairs. Some detail on older faucets:
Older and inexpensive faucets use rubber washers, on the end of the valve stem, to stop the water flow. The valve stem is the spindle that projects out of the valve and onto which the handle is attached. On the other end of the valve stem, inside the valve, this rubber washer is attached by a screw through the center. Tightening the handle presses the washer against a valve seat. Water is attempting to flow through the hole in the center of the valve seat, and it's the washer that stops it. When the washer is worn, it's hard to make a tight seal. The washer may become so worn, though, as the user tightens the handle down more and more, that it simply breaks away. At this point, you have metal against metal, the valve stem grinding on the valve seat. This may grind away or chip the valve seat. Then even a new washer may not be able to properly stop water flow. When you're replacing rubber washers, examine the valve seat. If it's not unbroken and perfectly smooth, replace it too. Otherwise, not only might water still leak, but the new washer will be quickly ruined.
What is the negative effects of federation?
Federation can lead to fragmentation and inefficiencies in governance, as overlapping jurisdictions may create confusion and conflict among different levels of government. It may also result in unequal resource distribution, where wealthier regions outpace poorer ones, exacerbating regional disparities. Additionally, the complexity of a federal system can hinder swift decision-making and policy implementation. Lastly, it can foster regional nationalism, potentially threatening national unity and cohesion.
What are the causes of air pollution?
The combustion of fuels in automobiles, jet planes etc all cause the release of several primary pollutants into the air. The burning of fossil fuels in big cities which is seen at most factories, offices and even a large number of homes.
Furthermore is the release of other harmful gases all adds to the state that we see today. Although carbon dioxide plays an important role in various other processes like photosynthesis, breathing an excess of the same also causes harmful effects towards one's health.
A:The various causes of air pollution that releases harmful gases into the atmosphere are caused due to the increasing number of power plants and manufacturing units or industries that mostly have activities related to the burning of fuels. Besides, as mentioned earlier, most automobiles, marine vessels, activities that involve the burning of wood, fumes that are released from aerosol sprays, military activities that involve the use of nuclear weapons, all are the numerous causes of air pollution. A:Air pollution takes many different forms and arises from a variety of sources. In terms of overall range and extents of impacts, however, it is my opinion that burning of fossil fuels (coal, gasoline, etc..) is the single largest source of air pollutants. These fuels cause smog, acid rain, soot and particulates increases, greenhouse gas emissions, and dispersal of some heavy metal contaminants. Fossil fuels are widely used for heating, transportation, electricity generation, manufacturing and other industries. Thus, they are used pervasively in our society and their use is difficult (but not impossible) to curtail. Also, various measures can be taken to help make fossil fuel burning both cleaner and more efficiently but this comes at some monetary cost. Until we find cleaner alternatives to the present fossil fuels burning methods, most air pollutants plaguing the world today will continue to be a problem in the future. A:Stationary Sources include smoke stacks of power plants, manufacturing facilities (factories) and waste incinerators, as well as furnaces and other types of fuel-burning heating devices.Mobile Sources include motor vehicles, marine vessels, aircraft and the effect of sound etc. Chemicals, dust and controlled burn practices in agriculture and forestry management. Controlled or prescribed burning is a technique sometimes used in forest management, farming, prairie restoration or greenhouse gas abatement. Fire is a natural part of both forest and grassland ecology and controlled fire can be a tool for foresters. Controlled burning stimulates the germination of some desirable forest trees, thus renewing the forest. Fumes from paint, hair spray, varnish, aerosol sprays and other solvents Waste deposition in landfills, which generate methane. Methane is not toxic; however, it is highly flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space. Asphyxia or suffocation may result if the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 19.5% by displacement. Military, such as nuclear weapons, toxic gases, germ warfare and rocketry.
Natural sources Dust from natural sources, usually large areas of land with little or no vegetation. Methane, emitted by the digestion of food by animals, for example cattle. Radon gas from radioactive decay within the Earth's crust. Radon is a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring, radioactive noble gas that is formed from the decay of radium. It is considered to be a health hazard. Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings, especially in confined areas such as the basement and it is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking. Smoke and carbon monoxide from wildfires. Volcanic activity, which produce sulfur, chlorine, and ash particulates.
A:Many things can cause pollution. Smokestacks from factories, trucks and cars (vehicles), and even smokers pollute the air. Some have a larger impact on the air than others, but CO2 and smoke, etc. are what most people are talking about when they refer to "pollutants."And, not only that, it can be caused also by cars, rubbish, factories, smoke, power stations are also some of the things.
Special note: We should stop air pollution by stop to do the things above. It is our responsibility to stop air pollution and our rights to breathe in clean air.
What type of mixtures are in polluted water?
A polluted water may be a homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture.
When too much fertilizer is used, a large amount never gets taken up into the structure of the plants being fertilized. Instead, it dissolves into runoff water and is carried far from where it was first applied. This means that the water has plenty of extra nutrients for any algae growing in bodies of water that the runoff water is flowing into and thus can produce algal blooms.
1988 Mercedes 190e tie rod removal?
Emergency procedure:
Hi, I assume that this is a regular tie rod. The removal will require some brut force. There is only one nut holding the tie rod end to the wheel but even when you remove it the tie rod end will not come off. To get it off you should Slacken the nut, DO NOT remove the nut completely, then use a big hammer and hit the metal holder into which the tie rod end is fitted (i.e. the metal that protudes from the wheel/hub) After a few blows the tie rod end will become free. You can now remove the nut and take the tie rod out.
For a less violent approach:
Some places like autozone will lend you a puller that is easy to use, or a 2-prong slanted fork
How can coal on the surface cause water pollution?
water that flows though coal can pick up poisonous metals.that water can then flow into streams and lakes and pollute water supplies
Is water pollution due to oil use in electric power production?
This is only cause of water pollution. Other causes are discharge of sewage in water bodies, discharge of industrial waste, use of fertilizers and pesticides, throwing garbage and other human activities.
