Answer 6

here are the answers.

1. thermoelectric

2.Cause: Liquid waste from smelting enters the water supply & water used as a cooling agent in power plants
Effect: Increased levels of contamination such as chromium and lead & decreased dissolved oxygen levels

3. thermoelectric

4. Positive: Energy production, Water storage, and control of water
Negative: High salt concentrations, deepening of riverbed & trapping of river-borne nutrients

5. Excess levels of nutrients in the water supply

6. Quality: Pesticides, Irrigation & Grazing
Quantity: Irrigation

7. Cause: Animal waste appears in the water supply & Fertilizer is applied
Effect: Algal bloom occur & Water is unfit for aquatic life

8. Sedimentation

9. Water used to refine oil

Answer 7

1. Drag each item to indicate whether it is a positive or negative impact of dams.
Positive: Water storage, energy production, control of water

Negative: deepening of riverbed, high salt concentrations, trapping of river-borne nutrients

2. Drag each item to indicate whether it is a cause or effect of nutrient increase in the water supply.

Cause: Animals waste appears in the water supply, fertilizer is applied.

Effect: Water is unfit for aquatic life, algal blooms occur.

Answer: thermoelectric power

7. Is each term a cause or an effect of water pollution? Drag each term to the category it matches.
Cause: Liquid waste from smelting enters the water supply, water used as a cooling agent in power plants

Effect: increased levels of contaminants such as chromium and lead, decreased oxygen levels

8. Drag each item to indicate whether it impacts the quality or quantity of the water. Each item may be used more than once.
