Geologists working for the Environmental Protection Agency monitor surface waters at sites across the country to determine the effects of acid rain on aquatic ecosystems. What type of information would the geologists most likely track?
1 answer
The geologists would most likely track information such as pH levels, chemical composition, and nutrient levels in the water. They may also monitor the presence and abundance of aquatic plants and animals to assess the overall health of the ecosystem. Additionally, they may track precipitation patterns and air quality data to determine the source and extent of acid rain in the area.
