Which statements are true about point and nonpoint source pollution? human activity causes point and nonpoint source pollution. only nonpoint source pollution affects abiotic factors in a watershed. point source pollution affects only the part of the lake or river near it. both point and nonpoint source pollution affect biotic factors in a watershed. point pollution flows through the bodies of water in a watershed but not through its land.

Both point source pollution and non-point source pollution affect biotic factors in a watershed.

Explanation:

Point source pollution is the "single identifiable source" from which the pollutants arise. They can be pipe, factory, ship etc. Few factories discharge the pollutants directly into the water bodies. Few of them treat it first and then discharge to the sewage plants.  Nonpoint source pollution results from "land runoff, drainage, atmospheric deposition". After the runoff, the human made pollutants and natural ones will get deposited into wet lands, lakes and ground waters.  

The introduction of dangerous items into the environment is referred to as pollution. Pollutants are the term for these dangerous compounds.

Statements (i) or (a) and (iv) or (d) are true about the sources of non-point and point pollution.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States defines:

1. Point source pollution (PSP) is any contaminant that enters the environment from a restricted and easily identifiable source.

Sources:
Oil refineries, paper, and pulp mills, chemicals, Sewage treatment plants, vehicles, electronics or technological manufacturers, and factories are all examples of PSP.

2. Nonpoint-source (NPS) pollution is the polar opposite of point-source pollution in that contaminants are spread out over a large area.

Sources:
snowmelt or rainfall moving over and through the earth causes NPS contamination.
As the runoff progresses, it takes up and transports contaminants, both natural and man-made, eventually depositing them in lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waterways, and groundwater.

Therefore,  Point and nonpoint source pollution are both caused by human activities, and both have an impact on biotic variables in a watershed. This proves that statements (i) and (iv) are the right sources of responses.

Evidence peice 1: millions of years ago existed the supercontinent pangea after millions of yearsnit broke into peices and formed smaller continents and islandsevidence peice 2: there is a massive fault line in san fransico and california that has the potential to cause massive earthquakes which supports the theory of fault linesevidence peice 3: mountains are said to be formed by earths tectonic plates crashing against each other for millions of years and eventually if forms a big point know as a mountain.evidence peice 4: the mariana trech is the deepest place (so far) discovered in the oceans of earth. it is so deep that you can literally see how earths plates are divided and or continents as well
