Thermal inversion.

A thermal inversion forms when a warm layer of air traps a cooler layer of air close to Earth's surface. The cold air ends up at the surface when the mountains block the morning sunlight from warming the floor of the valley or particulate pollution blocks sunlight from reaching the surface.

The increased aerosols in the urban atmosphere reduce the incoming solar radiation and increase the atmospheric longwave radiation in the urban areas. The response of the surface to the change of absorbed radiation is strong at night and weak during the day.

The warm air above cooler air acts like a lid, suppressing vertical mixing and trapping the cooler air at the surface. As pollutants from vehicles, fireplaces, and industry are emitted into the air, the inversion traps these pollutants near the ground, leading to poor air quality.

Look at the map how did the location of the ancient cities of harappa and mohenjo daro contribute to their development
erik [133]

Being located in the very middle of Indus River and the Ghaggar-Hakra River, this city had a perfect location in between two major river routes. The city was one of the largest urban centers of the Harappan civilization. Its location allowed it control over the commerce that inevitably used these rivers to transport goods in the region. Also, it provided the city with a source of fresh water and since back then the ridge where the city was located was elevated over the river to avoid its flooding, the location was both located at an important crossroads of river navigation but also protected from natural elements. Thus, it was a hub of commerce, art and a complex social organization.

Anon25 [30]

According to Gregory Mankiw, a US teacher and economist, this example would demonstrate the economic principle of "the significance of opportunity cost in decision making". Martina had to give up going to restaurants in order to continue travelling by taxi. She probably compared the cost and benefits of packing lunch vs going to a restaurant before taking the final decision.

How might the principles in Nike shoes ad apply to advertising and marketing for all products? Explain.
JulsSmile [24]

In most advertising, the company says that you can have a special ability or a better lifestyle. For example, in Nike ads, they often visualize that if you buy their shoes, you can be faster. And in ads for Rogers, they say you can go inside the movie because their internet is so fast. All products advertise something other than the product that will persuade you to buy it.
