What type of transport is the worst for air pollution

Geography

Answer:

Car and bus commuters

<h3 /><h2>What is air pollution?</h2>

The contamination of the atmosphere by noxious gases and particulates such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).

A contemporary automobile with a three-way catalytic converter emits around 71% nitrogen, 14% carbon dioxide, and 13% water vapor, with some percent fluctuation depending on weather and location. Nitrogen and water vapor are completely safe. Not too much CO2. Other contaminants include carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and different nitrogen oxides. The converter converts these three into the less damaging above-ground gases of CO2, water, and nitrogen, thus the term "three way." Older automobiles without catalytic converters would directly release these three, as well as tetraethyl lead from leaded gasoline used in the developed world until the 1980s. Meanwhile, diesel vehicles must contend with particulate matter and sulfur dioxide.

Cars and buses affect the environment by emitting considerable amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other air pollutants. Buses and autos emit pollutants into the atmosphere.

How do hurricanes form?​
jekas [21]

Answer; Hurricanes form when warm moist air over water begins to rise. The rising air is replaced by cooler air. This process continues to grow large clouds and thunderstorms. These thunderstorms continue to grow and begin to rotate thanks to earth's Coriolis Effect.

When will condensation occur?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

When the air temperature drops below its dew point, excess moisture will be released in the form of condensation. Condensation problems are most likely to occur in climates where temperatures frequently dip to 35°F or colder over an extended period of time.

What are the<br> effect of wind on temperature of a place.​
Alinara [238K]

Explanation:

Effects of Wind

on forecasted temperatures

At night, the earth's surface cools by radiating heat off to space. The strongest cooling takes place right near the surface while temperatures at roughly 3000 feet are actually warmer than those at the surface. On a windy night, some of the warmer air aloft is mixed down towards the surface. This occurs because the winds are faster aloft than at the surface.

To visualize this, place one hand over the other about six inches apart. The bottom hand represents the air near the surface and the top hand represents the warmer wind higher up. Move the bottom hand slowly and the upper hand faster (to indicate the faster winds aloft). The faster air above and slower air below causes the air to overturn or spin (as in the picture below). This overturning motion is how warmer air from above is transported downward on windy nights.
