Precipitation removes particulates from the air

Answer: Precipitation

Explanation:

Airborne particulates, or particulate matter, are compounds of small size that can mix with the lower part of the atmosphere, such as dust, soot, smoke, dirt and some liquid droplets. The size of the particulates ranges from 0.1 µm to 10 µm, which is called an aerodynamic diameter. This size allows particulates to stay in suspension in the troposphere.

Because of their varied nature, temperature does not remove all the types of particulates from the air. Photosynthesis is a process that removes CO₂ from the atmosphere, but CO₂ molecules are too small to be considered a particulate. CO₂ molecules are disolved in the atmosphere.

Precipitation removes the particulates from the air because it facilitates dissolution with water. In several countries, like Australia, the US or Mexico, still air and inversions (where cold air is trapped below warm air) produce a slower removal of particulates than in humid regions due to the limited precipitation. Moreover, arid conditions (rises of temperature) can increase the probability of wildfires with the concomitant raise in the particulates concentration (such as ashes and soot).

If scientists are wrong about Earth's age based on radioactive material and the decay rates are really much faster, how would nu
kupik [55]

Nuclear power plants use the energy originating from the splitting or uranium atoms to produce steam, which in turn drives a turbine generator.

The main problem with this form of energy production is the byproduct from the nuclear reactors known as radioactive waste. Although it is no longer efficient for the energy production, this waste is still radiating large amounts of heat and radiation. Thus, they are very hazardous as they are fatal on direct exposure and can contaminate the environment.

Due to the extremely long half-life, long term storage for this waste is extremely problematic.  However, if the decay rates were much faster, then the half-life would also be much shorter. Thus, short term storage solutions could be found.

Excepting the nuclear waste and the potential accidents (which are minimized in modern plants), nuclear energy does not immediately affect the climate on earth. With short half-lives, nuclear energy would perhaps become more popular than solar or wind energy as it is more reliable and efficient.
