Answer:
The most abundant type of pollution in national parks at that time was air pollution and it had begun to reduce biodiversity as organisms were leaving polluted areas for cleaner ones, or they simply were not able to survive.
Answer:
2 & 4
Explanation:
The theory of spontaneous generation stipulated that life emanated spontaneously from ‘nothing’. This was believed to be true until Francesco Redi & Luis Pasteur later falsified this theory using an experiment. He had two plates of cooked meat. He covered one with a glass bowl and left the other open. The plate with a bowl did not develop maggots while the open one did. This showed that maggot was as a result of hatched eggs that were deposited by flies. Life, therefore, emanates from life.
The process of water moving through the soil is called percolation or ground water recharge. In this process water oozes, seeps, or filter through the soil beneath the surface, without a defined channels, or in a course that is unknown and not discoverable from surface indications without excavation for that purpose. Percolation and infiltration are two related but different processes describing the movement of water through the soil. Infiltration involves the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface while percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.<span />
Insolation is the amount of solar energy that is incident on the surface of the earth. For the same insolation, water bodies tend to absorb the most heat as water has a high heat capacity and so do grasslands. Areas such as desserts and glaciers do not absorb high amounts of insolation due to which these areas exhibit extreme, inhabitable environments. The order becomes:
The Atlantic Ocean
A marshy wetland
Nevada desert
Polar ice caps
