What will most likely happen if farmers do not rotate crops to protect the soil and water quality of nearby streams?

The soil nutrients are maximized.

The soil will inevitably begin to lose the nutrients plants need to grow.

The soil fertility increases.

Soil erosion is reduced.

A business is researching ways to reduce its footprint on the environment. Which of the following, would be a positive impact on the water cycle?

Reduce the acid rain that is released from the smokestacks.

Release Carbon emissions by burning waste.

Burying their toxic waste deep in the ground.

Increase the number of chemicals released in the river.

Soil and water quality can be affected by traditional farming practices. Water is impacted
by a lack of oxygen in the water due to excess sediment from eroding soils containing
organic matter that contributes to oxygen depletion in the water as it is not used in
between crops. Which of the following best explains what the farmer may want to do to
avoid the depletion of the biodiversity in the nearby water source?

The farmer uses more fertilizer when growing new crops.

The farmer removes the trees that divide the farm from the water source.

The farmer plants a cover crop on the land in-between growing seasons.

The farmer collects any trash that has been thrown into the farming area.

Mining industries, energy generating plants, cars, and urbanization are depleting what?
(Select 2)

most likely will happen to the biodiversity of the pond?

The Killifish population will stay the same while the Dwarf Gouramis population will decrease.

The Killifish population will continue to decrease while the Dwarf Gouramis population will increase.

The Killifish population will continue to increase while the Dwarf Gouramis population will decrease.

The killifish population will increase while the Dwarf Gouramis population will decrease.
