Two different scientists were studying the carbon levels of the air above a large city. They both found that the levels had incr

eased by an average of 8% in the past decade. Scientist 1 concluded that the increase was a result of the increasing population of the city. Scientist 2 concluded that the increase was a result of an active volcano several miles from the city. Which scientist's conclusion is valid?

Answer:

Scientist 1

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion of scientists 1 is valid.</em>

Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, etc. leads to the emission of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. <em>An increase in the population of a city will only lead to an increase in these activities and hence, an increase in the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.</em>

Also, volcanic activities leads to the production of volcanic gases which is a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

<u>However, an active volcano that is several miles away from the city might not be a major source of carbon in the air above a large city. The carbon dioxide produced from such volcanic activity thins out before reaching the city.</u>

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.
expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.

(1)

Troposphere – This is the densest layer and where weather events occur

Stratosphere – This is where the ozone layer is found. Some high altitude aircraft cruise in this layer.

Mesosphere – Temperatures drop with altitude in this layer

Thermosphere – This is where most of the meteorites that enter the earth’s atmosphere burn up. This layer takes up most of the Uv and X-rays from the sun. Most satellites orbiting earth are in this layer

Exosphere – almost akin to space due to the thinness of the layer. Molecules in the layer often escape into space

(2)

A ‘pause’ is a transition between the above-mentioned distinct layers. The tropopause, for example, occurs between the troposphere and the stratosphere and the stratopause between the stratosphere and mesosphere and thermopause is found between thermosphere and exosphere.

(3)

A temperature inversion is a rise in temperatures with altitude in a layer in the atmosphere. One layer exhibiting temperature inversion is the stratosphere. This is due to the ozone layer that absorbs UV light. The upper ozone absorbs most of the UV light, than lower ozone, exciting the molecules and making the higher altitudes in the layer to be warmer.

(4)

The ozone layer protects life on earth from the high energy UV radiation from the sun. UV is capable of causing double-stranded break on DNA resulting in genetic mutations on organisms. Most of these would be lethal. The Ozone absorbs most of the UV before it reaches earth's surface. Ozone is formed when an oxygen molecule reacts with another oxygen atom to form an O₃. The oxygen atoms are made from the splitting of an oxygen molecule by UV light.
