Why is the global community trying to prevent climate change? List 3 reasons

Geography
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]2 years ago
3 0

First Reason:

Delayed efforts to mitigate either carbon dioxide or short-lived climate pollutant emissions will have negative, and potentially irreversible, consequences for global warming, rising sea levels, food security, and public health.

Second Reason:

Due to their relatively short lifetime in the atmosphere, ranging from a few days to a few decades, reducing short-lived climate pollutants can rapidly slow the rate of global temperature rise, complement efforts to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions and keep warming below 2°C.

Third Reason:

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition’s measures can cut methane emissions by at least 40% and black carbon by up to 70% by 2030, and virtually eliminate (99.5%) high-global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons altogether by 2050 (all compared to 2010 levels).

24) Most of the precipitation that falls onto Earth's surface ________. A) is already unusable because of acid rain B) evaporate
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:C) either runs off to form rivers or filters down into underground aquifers

Explanation:Precipitation is any form of moisture which falls to the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail. ... Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers."

Fill in the sentences below with the processes and coastal landforms associated with longshore drift. Fill the appropriate blank
alina1380 [7]

1. Waves hitting at an angle and then bending around features of the coast is known as wave refraction.

2. Landforms associated with longshore drift form where the sediment is plentiful enough to create them.

3. When there is longshore drift, the overall direction of sand transport is parallel to the coast..

4. In order to produce longshore drift, the direction of waves must not be perpendicular to the coast.

5. A baymouth bar forms when longshore drift creates a ridge of sand separating a waterway from the ocean.

6. The direction that sediment is traveling along a coast is called the downstream direction.

Explanation:

Waves forms different kinds of land form in the coastal areas. Waves hit coast in a particular angle It is known as wave refraction. When sediments get deposited in the coastal areas and forms a bar which get detached from the shore is called long shore bar.

To create long shore drift the direction of wind should not be perpendiular to the coast. Direction will be parallel. A baymouth bar is formed when a ridge of sand is created and separates the waterway from ocean. Sediments travel along the coast in downstream direction.
