Answer: <em>The answer is A (It has gradually decreased in the last couple of years)</em>

  • Over the Earth's surface, the ozone layer's average thickness is about 300 Dobson Units, or a layer that is 3 millimeters thick.

  • The thickness of the ozone layer changes due to increasing concentrations of ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere.
  • Air motions also increase the ver- tical thickness of the ozone layer near the poles, which increases the value of total ozone in those regions. Tropospheric weather systems can temporarily reduce the thickness of the stratospheric ozone layer in a region, low- ering total ozone at the same time.

  • It is thinning due to the release of man-made compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). The net effect that CFCs have on the ozone layer is to recombine an oxygen atom with an ozone molecule to form two oxygen molecules. From 1978 to 1991, global stratospheric ozone levels have decreased by 3%.

Changes in wind strength during an El Niño affect surface currents, which affects weather patterns. In 3–5 sentences, explain wh
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

El Niño is defined as an unusual weather pattern seen in the Pacific Ocean. In this weather unusual winds allows the surface water to get warm from the equator to move east, that is toward Central and South America.

So, El Niño affects wind shear, in which air current present in lower altitude moves to different direction from winds higher in the atmosphere and affects weather patterns. such as El Niño is responsble for more rain in South and Central America and in the United States.

Looking through a light microscope at a dividing cell, you see two separate groups of chromosomes on opposite ends of the cell.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Option D, telophase

Explanation:

Telophase is the last stage of mitosis cell division in which the duplicated genetic material gets arranged into two identical daughter cells. In generals, this phase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have separated and arranged themselves on two opposite sides, or poles of the cells. After this, nuclear envelope begins to form around the chromosomes. After telophase, the cell undergoes cytokinesis to divide the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

Hence, option D is correct
