The researchers estimate that between 1990 and 2010, some 69 percent of the mass lost by the world's alpine glaciers can be traced to human influence – basically global warming. This 2013 file photo shows the Mendenhall Glaicer where it spills over the mountains above Mendenhall Lake in Juneau, Alaska.

Answer:

Human activity is playing an increasing role in the melting of glaciers, Austrian and Canadian scientists have found. One of the most disruptive effects of climate change, glacier retreat leads to rising sea levels, landslides and unpredictable availability of water downstream.

I can’t see your answer choices, but igneous rocks are made from cooled lava or magma. This is why these rocks are so brittle and grainy. I’ve attached a helpful image to better explain! Good luck!!!

Does each musical instrument have its own sound pitch

Pepsi [2]

Yes. For example, when you have a flute and you have a clarenet right next to each other and they are playing, you will notice that the clarenet is deeper than the flute.

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the missing section:

How might the destruction of rainforests affect the balance of gases in Earth's atmosphere?

by increasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen

by increasing carbon dioxide and increasing oxygen

by decreasing carbon dioxide and increasing oxygen

by decreasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen

The answer to this question is by increasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen.

Explanation:

Rainforests have a vital role on Earth because these regulate the levels of oxygen vs carbon dioxide. This is because plants including trees, grasses, shrubs, etc. require carbon dioxide as part of the photosynthesis process, and they release oxygen at the end of the process. In this way, rainforests reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and increase oxygen.

In this context, deforestation or the destruction of rainforest for mining, roads, etc. implies there are fewer plants, and therefore, less carbon dioxide is being used and less oxygen is released. This causes an increase in carbon dioxide and a decrease in oxygen.

I really need help with this one

Answer:

The prey population, the rabbits, and the predator population, the foxes, directly rely on one another. As the rabbit population grows, more food becomes available for the fox population to grow, therefore the fox population grows. The rabbit population now has more predators, but an assumed constant amount of food, causing the rabbit population to fall. The rabbit population falls and less food becomes available for the fox population, so the fox population falls. Both the predator and prey species are majorly responsible for the carrying capacities of the other species.
