Answer:
protected; increase
Explanation:
Ozone is composed of trioxygen which is highly reactive gas compared to dioxygen. Ozone layer is present in stratosphere and troposphere and protect the humans from ultraviolet radiations but it may be toxic if inhaled. Ozone can be broken down into molecular oxygen by chlorine and bromine atoms.
A hole was discovered in ozone layer in 1982 and scientist believed that it could be dangerous for human health. The compounds involved in depletion of ozone are mainly Chlorofluorocarbons (CFS) and (HFCS). Then a global agreement was signed in 1987 which leads to prohibition of use of all chemicals that are involved in depletion of ozone layer. The problem of ozone depletion is solved by the agreement and ozone hole started to recover it from 2000.
But recent reports showed that the alternative chemicals used to protect the depletion of ozone layer began to trap the heat inside the earth like greenhouse effect. Now scientists are in search of chemical that can prevent both ozone depletion as well as global warming.
Answer: The primary motor cortex for control of voluntary muscles is found in the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobes.
Explanations:
The primary motor cortex is one of the important brain areas involved in motor function. It is found in the precentral gyrus of frontal lobes. It control voluntary muscles and generate impulses needed for movement execution.
Voluntary muscles are muscles that we can control consciously or we can control them at will and we can choose when we want to use them. They are also refers to as skeletal muscles and are attached to bones. The are majorly use for locomotion.
Answer:
A. Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution
Explanation:
From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.
- Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
- Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
- The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
- Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
- This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.
Different stars are different colors depending on the temperature. So, for example, a blue star is hotter than a yellow star such as our Sun.
