Respuesta
  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
The diagram shows how sewage is treated. Why is air bubbled through the aeration tank?
Respuesta
  • A to encourage microorganisms to reproduce quickly
  • B to float the sludge
  • C to settle the sludge
  • D to stop microorganisms from reproducing too quickly

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
 Three human activities are listed. 1 burning fossil fuels 2 deforestation 3 overusing fertilisers Which activities can cause the change shown in the graph?
Respuesta
  • A 1, 2 and 3
  • B 1 and 2 only
  • C 1 only
  • D 2 and 3 only
