Answer:
Alternative Name: The Killer Fog of 1952
Great Smog of London, lethal smog that covered the city of London for five days (December 5–9) in 1952, caused by a combination of industrial pollution and high-pressure weather conditions. This combination of smoke and fog brought the city to a near standstill and resulted in thousands of deaths. Its consequences prompted the passing of the Clean Air Act four years later, which marked a turning point in the history of environmentalism.
The phenomenon of “London fog” long predated the crisis of the early 1950s. Known as “pea-soupers” for their dense, yellow appearance, such all-encompassing fogs had became a hallmark of London by the 19th century. But polluted fog was an issue in London as early as the 13th century, due to the burning of coal, and the situation only worsened as the city continued to expand. Complaints about smoke and pollution increased in the 1600s, when ultimately ineffective legislation was passed under King James I to restrict coal burning. Rapidly increasing industrialization that began in the late 1700s made conditions even worse.
These hazes were not natural formations of the atmosphere: water vapour would stick to particulates released by coal-burning factories, producing dark and heavy clouds that impaired visibility. This variety of fog later came to be known as smog (a merging of the words smoke and fog), a term invented by a Londoner in the early 20th century.

The person on top got the correct answer I think
Answer:
I think a..
Explanation:
cause Kelvin scale starts with 373k
Answer:
Rain falling on a slope
Water flowing downhill a region
large rocks and debris on a slope
Mass movement or mass wasting is a process of movement of particles of rocks, soil and other debris down a slope due to the effect of gravitational force acting on these particles. The mass movement or mass wasting occurs due to agents like high speed wind and fast moving water down a slope. Mass movement or mass wasting mainly occur in landslides and mudslides. Rain falling on a slope, water flowing downhill a region, large rocks and debris on a slope are factors which will influence the mass movement of particles.
