What would be the effect on groundwater and surface water of someone having a car that leaks oil and leaves a large oil spill on the pavement? (use the information above to help you)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The effect would ultimately be the same as if an oil spill happened in the local river and/or ocean. Water and Oil do not mix and the oil becomes thick and remains on top of the water. Water ultimately drags the oil with it and eventually into the river and ocean. There the oil will cause oxygen from passing through the water, therefore killing all local plants in and near the rivers as well as causing harm to local animals that bathe and drink in the contaminated water

What is map?

A map is a sign that emphasizes the connections between various components of a space, such as locations, themes, or objects. Some maps are dynamic or interactive, while others are static and attached to paper or another long-lasting material.

Maps can represent any location, actual or imagined, without respect to context or scale, as seen in brain mapping, DNA mapping, or computer network topology mapping, despite the fact that they are most frequently employed to describe geography.

The space that is being mapped can be two dimensional, like the earth's surface, three dimensional, like the earth's interior, or even more abstract spaces of any dimension, like those that emerge when modeling phenomena with lots of independent variables.

Hola
One family makes $50,000 a year, and
another family makes $100,000. Both
families buy the same car at the same
dealership, and both families pay $1,500
in sales tax.
At federal income tax time, two
neighbors pay their taxes. As they are
talking one day, they realize that they
are not in the same income tax bracket,
so one neighbor pays a higher
percentage of his income in taxes than
the other does.
Two people who make very different
incomes pay the same percentage
of their income in taxes.

Answers

Answer:

a. REGRESSIVE

Regressive conflict/ tax refers to a scenario where people earning less pay more of their income in taxes. In this scenario, the family making $50,000 paid:

= 1,500 / 50,000

= 3% of their income

Family making $100,000 only paid:

= 1,500 / 100,000

= 1.5%

The low earning family paid more so this is regressive.

b. PROGRESSIVE

Progressive tax refers to people in higher income tax brackets paying a higher percentage of their taxes. This is the scenario here so this is a progressive conflict.

c. PROPORTIONAL

As the term implies, proportional tax refers to people paying by a certain proportion of their income. With these two paying the same percentage on their income, they are experiencing a proportional conflict.

Answer:

A. One family makes $50,000 a year, and another family makes $10,000. Both families buy the same car at the same dealership, and both families pay $1,500 in sales tax.  A. Regressive

B. At federal income tax, two neighbors pay their taxes. As they are talking one day, they realize that they are not in the same income tax bracket, so one neighbor pays a higher tax percentage of his income in taxes than the others. B. Progressive

C. Two people who make very different incomes pay the same percentage of their income taxes. C. Proportional

What are the two main defenses you can use in the event of a discriminatory practice allegation, and what exactly do they involve

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The two main defenses you can use in the event of a discriminatory practice allegation are Business necessity and Bonafide Occupation Qualification.

Business necessity. In legal terms, Business necessity means that the company has a justified argument to fire an employee in order to pursue the goals of the company. This is legal resource employers have to support their decisions of laying off employees.

Bonafide Occupation Qualification. This means that there is a valid justification due to gender or age, for not allowing an employee to perform a duty in the workplace. So employers use this Bonafide Occupation Qualification as a legal argument to fire an employee.

Read this passage about Christopher Reeve.Christopher Reeve was born on September 25, 1952, in New York City. His mother was a journalist, and his father was a professor. As a kid he played sports, did well in school, and liked acting. His passion for acting goes back to playing with his brother when they were little. Reeve acted in his first play at the age of nine. After attending college, taking acting classes, and acting in many plays and movies, Reeve landed his biggest role. In 1978, he played the title role in Superman. He received very positive reviews for his performance and starred as Superman in all the sequels. Reeve was soon acting as the lead role in dozens of movies after Superman. Once well-known, Reeve used his celebrity status for good causes, such as visiting very sick children through the Make-A-Wish foundation. He was also a track and field coach at the Special Olympics.Besides acting, Reeve was also a licensed pilot and liked horseback riding. He learned to ride horses for a movie role, and he continued riding in his free time. Unfortunately, while riding one day in 1995, Reeve fell from his horse and became paralyzed from the neck down. Being confined to a wheelchair did not hold back Reeve from being socially active, and after many surgeries and rehabilitation, he decided to dedicate his life to helping people with spinal-cord injuries. He created the Christopher Reeve Foundation, which supports the improvement of the lives of people with disabilities and helps fund research to find a cure for paralysis. He was also politically active, working with senators to make sure that people with disabilities were treated fairly in the workplace. Reeve received many awards for his dedication to public service. He also wrote two books about his experiences, and a documentary was made about his life. Reeve passed away in 2004, but his legacy lives on today. He touched the lives of many people and showed us what it means to overcome extreme odds by never giving up.Which fact would be most appropriate to include in a yearbook page about Reeve?Reeve created a foundation to help people with disabilities.Reeve spent time working with senators.Reeve learned to ride horses for a role in a movie.Reeve enjoyed playing with his brother when they were little.
