Detailed explanation-1: -Lions and cheetahs prey on wildebeests that graze in the grasslands of the African savanna. What likely effect would increased rainfall over several rainy seasons have on the populations of wildebeests, lions, and cheetahs? All three populations would increase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years. Rocks take time to decompose, especially quartz (silica) and feldspar. Often starting thousands of miles from the ocean, rocks slowly travel down rivers and streams, constantly breaking down along the way.
Detailed explanation-3: -When fertilizers enter surface water, they cause problems in the watershed by-clogging narrow streams and preventing water from flowing properly.
