Physical and Chemical features

The physical property of a compound could be determined without modifying the originality of the compound. Examples of physical properties are density, hardness, color, boiling, and melting point. The chemical property expresses the ability of a compound to undergo a particular chemical change.

The _______________ is open ocean from the shoreline to a depth of 200 m. (a) benthic environment (b) intertidal zone (c) neritic province (d) oceanic province (e) aphotic region
The process whereby oxygen is depleted by the growth of microorganisms due to excess nutrients in aquatic systems is called _________. a. dead zoning b. eutrophication c. retrophication d. depletion
Entangles fish, marine mammals, and sea birds, preventing them from feeding or causing them to drown. Dead zones: algal blooms consume oxygen, kills shellfish and displaces fish. Poisonous algae and countless plants and animals have invaded harbor waters and disrupted the local ecological balance. Destruction of coral reefs. Of the seventeen major world fisheries, four are depleted and the other thirteen are either fished to capacity or over-fished. Ghost nets: lost or discarded fishing nets keep on fishing. Nitrogen and phosphorus from sources such as fertilizer, sewage and detergents, enter coastal waters. Invasive species, such as zebra mussels. Cruise ships and tourists.

Case Scenario: The government has set up a nuclear power plant to supply electricity to its communities. Eventually power plant waste has filed up into volume and the problem of its disposal has become an issue. Nuclear power plant waste is highly radioactive waste that takes at least more than 5,000 years to decompose. The government has contemplated and debated burying the waste in one of the unhabitable mountains in the country. As an environmental science graduate, the politicians, as decision-makers, seek your advice on the things to consider before deciding to take the action of burying the waste. Learning the concepts of how dynamic our Earth is through its endogenic process, what would be the technical advice you can give to the decision-makers? The environmental problem, as complex as it is, needs to be addressed holistically. This means that you should use a system analysis approach in solving a problem. System analysis is a process of collecting and interpreting facts,…
