O Organisms will lose their habitat Groundwater in the area will be reduced More wood will be available for building homes Runoff will be reduced once the streets are paved​

Answer 1

I put this same answer on a different question.

Hi there! So among the options, there are:

Organisms will lose their habitat

Groundwater in the area will be reduced

More wood will be available for building homes

Runoff will be reduced once the streets are paved

Think about it. This is asking how the water cycle will be affected.

It wouldn't have anything to do with organisms, this is about water. It wouldn't be involving wood, since we're talking about water.

A and C are no longer options.

The answer is B, Groundwater in the area will be reduced. It took me a bit on this one, too, since it's a bit tricky. I also got it right on my exam and I do FLVS, this is in Earth Space Science.

Have a lovely rest of your day!

Answer 2

It should be, More wood will be available for building homes

& Organisms will lose their habitat
