Answer 2

Answer:

A. The built environment has an impact on the natural environment.

Explanation:

Of human activities on earth, construction is one of the most impacting on the environment.

In the United States, for example, approximately 35% of all materials extracted from nature annually (wood, metals, sand, stones, etc.) are used by construction.

In addition to the natural resources used, over 50% of all energy produced in the United States is used to power our homes and condominiums. A considerable amount of energy could be easily saved if these buildings made better use of natural sunlight or used economical light bulbs and showers, for example.

To lessen this environmental impact, in the last decades of the 20th and early 20th centuries, civil engineering professionals began to develop the concept of sustainable construction.

What are the three common patterns of population distribution? What might cause a population to disperse in an evenly spaced pattern?

Answers

Uniform, Clumped, and Random are the three common patterns of population distribution.  Food supply and resources are directly proportional to a particular distribution pattern. Random distribution occurs when several pollen grains of some flowers were carried by wind or bees. These flowers will then bloom where they were scattered.
The individual organisms that frame a population are additional or less equally spaced, spread every which way with no predictable pattern, or clustered in teams. These are called the uniform, random, and clumped dispersion patterns.   Uniform refers to the evenly distributed population, random means random spacing and clumped shows the distribution in clusters.
