Why is the potential loss of glaciation in the Alps a concern for Europe?

Geography

Bingel [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Correct Answer is D. All of the Above

Explanation:

Losing the glaciation in the Alps would result in a lot of consequences for Europe, Apart from cultural loss, Europe would lose one of the main Fresh drinking water sources they have, affecting mainly the communities near the mountains.

Another factor is that the Alps are also a very important tourist attraction for Europe, many visitors go to the Alps attending many events being held in the mountains or simply going for a hike, the economic loss would be devastating.

Switzerland currently has one of the many important hydroelectric dams that uses the water that flows down the Alps, without the glaciation the water running down will decrease in quantity gradually, leading to a loss of electric energy in the country, and because they sell this energy to other countries the consequence would be devastating.

A rock is radiometrically dated to determine its age. The laboratory doing the dating discovers that the rock currently has 200
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: The rock is 2000785 years old.

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 800

x = amount of daughter isotope = 600

a - x = amount left after decay process = amount of parent isotope = (800-600) = 200

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{1000000}=0.000000693years^{-1}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.000000693}\log\frac{800}{200}

t=2000785years

The rock is 2000785 years old.

Ozone located in the __________ is considered good for Earth, because it protects us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiatio
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Stratosphere

Explanation:

Yes, the ozone is a triatomic molecule that is composed of various oxygen molecules and which are broken by the sunlight to the formation of ozone layer this layer is found in abundance in the Stratosphere the layer above the tropopause that is the region where mixing stops. This layer extends from 30 to 60 kilometers in the stratosphere that absorbs the harmful radioactive substance and also the UV rays that can penetrate the earth and could have caused damage to the life forms on the planet. To date, continuous use and abuse of CFC gas produced by the air conditioners and the methane gas that is a natural greenhouse gas has caused a whole over the arctic circle and part of Russia. The low layers of ozone have been completely depleted due to imbalance of active carbon particles and pollutant matter in the atmosphere the air over the industrial district of china and India is itself an example. Impact of ozone UVa and UVB can be seen in high latitudes but of them, most harmful UVc is restricted by this layer and due to the quality deterioration of ozone is poses grave threats in future
