Question

The human activities in two locations are described below: Location A: Rampant use of plastic containers Location B: Excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers Which statement is most likely true? Location A will have poor air quality because plastic is biodegradable. Location A will experience water scarcity because plastic absorbs moisture. The population of honeybees will increase in Location B because production of crops will increase. The population of fish in Location B will decrease because the water is contaminated.

Answer 1

The population of fish in Location B will decrease because the water is contaminated.

Step-by-step explanation:

by using pesticides and fertilizers to get rid of bugs eating your plants, the pesticides and fertilizers will stay in the air until blown or have fallen into whatever water source it could have fallen into, and contaminate that water source, whether close or far.

Answer 2

The correct option is D) The population of fish in Location B will decrease because the water is contaminated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Excessive use of pesticides and fertilizer has very toxic effects on the wild life of the nearby oceans and seas. The toxic elements of the pesticides and fertilizers get eroded into the nearby lakes and rivers due to situations like flood etc. When such toxic elements and compounds enter the lakes and rivers, they cause the death of the fishes and other organisms present in the sea as they are poisonous. This causes that population of the fishes to decline.
