2. What is likely to be caused by the burning of fossil fuels?
A lake that has been affected by acid rain may have an altered pH level. Although the pH may be lower than normal, the lake may still appear blue and clear. Why may this occur?
Acid rain may affect the whole lake ecosystem by first killing algae that cause cloudiness.
acid rain,
global warming , and
an increase in smog
What is likely to be caused by the burning of fossil fuels?
What is an example of using biological pest controls to contribute to sustainability?
adding ladybugs to the fields of crops
animals living in the forested area will either die or be forced from their habitat or may become extinct.
Greenhouse gases will increase as carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.
