The total amount of water on Earth isn't increasing, but the volume of liquid that fills the ocean
basins is growing, raising the elevation of the sea's surface and spilling ocean water onto
low-lying land. The extra volume of seawater comes from two places: Clearly, the melting of ice

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.

You and a group of friends are spending your vacation hiking through the mountains. it is cold in the mountains. you will be expending a lot of energy while hiking and you will need plenty of energy to keep you warm. you should pack foods high in to provide the most energy or kilocalories per gram of food. a) carbohydrates b) lipids (fats) c) proteins d) sugars

Select all that apply. careful listening skills include: refraining from interrupting the speaker taking quality notes making an effort to understand maintaining eye contact with the speaker
