Answer:

The grey seals are found in the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. They breed in several colonies on and near the coast. They exhibit coloration of blackish to whitish specks. The males are darker in skin color than in females. The pups are born with yellow and white tint. A thick layer of skin called as blubber develops around the skin of the new ones which helps in providing them with insulation against the cold atmosphere.

Grey seals breed in habitats where disturbance is kept to a minimal, like rocky shores, ice flows and islands. They feed on cold open waters. When pups are given birth in early winter or late autumn, their skins are white with yellowish tint. They are relatively helpless and rely on their mother's milk for the first few weeks after birth. They deposit a thick layer of blubber that will protect and allow them to adapt to the cold to sustain them when they will hunt for themselves.

What do you think could be done to reduce levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
damaskus [11]
We cant really take away the carbon dioxide that is already present in the atmosphere unless with very advanced technologies but we can surely reduce the production level.

The production of carbon dioxide is mostly from the burning of fossil fuels and the gas produced by factories or vehicles.

As ourselves, we may not be able to stop the factories from producing gas and burning fuel but there are still something that we can do to help a bit. For example, turn off the electrical appliances when we're not using. This can save electricity thus to reduce the burning of fossil fuels. Or we can also take public transport instead of private vehicles to reduce the amout or carbon dioxide given out.

As the government, they should set up laws to control the gas produced by factories and vehicles, such as examining the gas content.

Answer:

B. The rating number means it will  protect you that many times  longer than without sunscreen

Explanation:

The sun protection factor is a comparison between the length of time it will take for a skin that has no sunscreen to begin reddening compared to a skin with sunscreen applied. Therefore, the ratings is an indication of the length of time a person will be protected from ultraviolet rays than when the individual has no sunscreen applied.

While higher SPF's are believed to offer more protection against UV rays, the added protection is usually just a negligible amount. They are very important for the skin and protect the body against diseases like cancer.

Answers questions . why are estuaries, such as the pamlico estuary, so important? . how would you be able to determine from whe
GaryK [48]
Estuaries, often reffered to as the nurseries of the sea provide feedind habitats for many aquatic animals and plants. Fish and shellfish commonly eaten in the U.S such as oyesters and Salmon complete almost half of their lifecycles in estuaries. Due to its shallow water,Pamlico estuary especially provides opportunities such as Fishing, crabbing and watersports as well.
We can be able to determine this concept by basing our facts on two concepts. Nutrient Influx, upon reaching the estuarian ecosystem, the nutrients in the presence of sunlight undergoes photosynthesis and produce phytoplanktons. Basically, where there is sunlight, we can assume there is a nutrient influx. Presence of Phytoplanktons will in turn help attract animals such as fish. Also, another contribution of nutrient influx is manure produced by the animals

Sewage treatment plans and fertilizer runoff. Auto emissions of nitrogen, fertilizers applied on golf courses and home gardens can contribute. Some plankton species may produce toxins that might cause these outbreaks
