A
by absorbing sulfur oxides and creating acid precipitation
B
by seeping into the soil and dissolving the minerals in rocks
C
by seeping into cracks of rocks and freezing

by increasing oxygen production
B
by increasing soil formation
C
by increasing erosion
D
by increasing transpiration
14) Large quantities of sand can be added to the beach to stabilize to shoreline. Which describes a disadvantage of this process.
A
It causes inland erosion.
B
It creates a barrier that prevents the tides from occuring along the coastline.
C
It is a short-term solution.
D
It creates a wall that disrupts the vegetation along the coastline.
15) Which is an advantage of safely using uranium as an energy source rater than using coal?
