Which of the following is a way by which cars can pollute the environment?
New cars release a lot of pollution into the air
Tires evaporate and release gas into the atmosphere
Older cars release carbon monoxide into the atmosphere
the heat generated by car engines contributes to global warming
How can ground pollutants affect the local fresh water supply?
The chemicals evaporate underground and come back in the rain water, filling lakes and rivers with toxic chemicals.
Erosion of soil causes those chemicals to leak into the ground water supply and end up in lakes and rivers
The chemicals absorb down their concentration gradient and eventually move to lakes and rivers
When plants are harvested the soil and excess plant parts are dumped into the water supply
When wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one area to another it is called
Erosion
Desertification
Deforestation
