A forest area is cleared and replaced with a parking lot. Over several years, water quality in this area will likely be harmed most by – A. Decreased water flow in streams
B. Increased sediments in runoff water
C. Increased oil products in groundwater
D. Decreased animal waste

A.

Explanation:

The nutrients the forest trees give are taken away and an entire ecosystem is gone. Rivers and Lakes are usually big enough or fast enough to clear the water from gravel, waste, and other products. The water area's population of animals are constricted and they lose numbers to predator's and more waste. The waste most likely comes from the building that the parking lot is from. So slower water flow means the waste is caught and stays which kills the population of fish.

uh two lol

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
