Which statement describes an impediment to mining the ocean floor? Experts believe that working around volcanic vents is too dangerous. Countries cannot come to an agreement about who owns the minerals. Disturbance of the sea floor may release dangerous chemicals. No one has the ability to mine the deep ocean floor. Giant squid may interfere with the mining.

More about zonation Click on the question marks to change them to a check mark for each statement that is TRUE or a blank box if the statement is NOT TRUE about vertical zonation. Kelps and corraline algae can be found along the lower intertidal and subtidal zones. ? The lower intertidal is dominated by seaweeds. The first stage of ecological succession in the rocky intertidal is the establishment of bacteria and microscopic algae. Green, brown and red algae on the upper intertidal are able to fix nitrogen from the air. The effect of a keystone species can easily be judged by how abundant it is.

To prevent overpumping, it is important to drill deeper wells when aquifers run dry use larger pumps prevent the use of more water than enters the aquifer due to rain and snowmelt use nonrenewable aquifers encourage the use of water from deeper within aquifers rather than near the surface

Chemical processes are constantly occurring in the environment. Most are impacted by human activities. These impacts may be felt on a local scale, through the presence of air pollutants or toxic substances arising from a chemical waste site, or on a global scale, through depletion of stratospheric ozone, acid rain or global warming. Specifically, for the production of your medicine outline the chemical reactions and processes needed to produce and the environmental impact of that processing. use picture or grah chart if possible
