How do biotechnologists help with modern mining methods? A)
They evaluate the microbes contained in minerals to determine the grade of the ore.
B)
They devise methods to kill the microbes in minerals to make the ore more profitable.
C)
They look for ways to genetically engineer microbes to aid in obtaining specific minerals.
D)
They propose ways to genetically engineer microbes to reduce gases created by mining.

C

Explanation:

Microbial mining is when you use microbes to help you obtain specific minerals. Biotechnologists help with this.

what bodys are there orbiting?

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
