Bycatch- the unwanted fish and other marine creatures caught during commercial fishing for a different species.

An oil spill- An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially the marine ecosystem, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution. The term is usually given to marine oil spills, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land.

Agricultural runoff- water from farm fields due to irrigation, rain, or melted snow that flows over the earth that can absorb into the ground, enter bodies of waters or evaporate.

Deforestation- the permanent removal of trees to make room for something besides forest. This can include clearing the land for agriculture or grazing, or using the timber for fuel, construction or manufacturing. Forests cover more than 30% of the Earth's land surface, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

Overharvesting- overexploitation, refers to harvesting a renewable resource to the point of diminishing returns. Ecologists use the term to describe populations that are harvested at a rate that is unsustainable, given their natural rates of mortality and capacities for reproduction.

cats shouldn't be kept inside their whole life they should be out in nature in the fresh air but because of our technology advances it has become unsafe for our furry friend to be outside in the city's, because they could be hit by vehicles. in city's yes i agree being inside isn't the worse thing, but if you live somewhere rural you should let your cats outside, yes some animals hunt cats but i don't think cats should be kept inside confined to such a small space.

btw this is my opinion

answer: in linguistic analysis, a phrase is a group of words (or possibly a single word) that functions as a constituent in the syntax of a sentence, a single unit within a grammatical hierarchy. a phrase typically appears within a clause, but it is possible also for a phrase to be a clause or to contain a clause within it.
