Answer:

Ai) The Earth's atmosphere is estimated to be about 300 miles (i.e. 480 kilometers) thick, although most of the atmosphere is within 10 miles (16 km) the surface.

Aii) The troposphere is characterized by intense mixing due to both horizontal and vertical interactions, it consist of most of the dust and vapour. The stratosphere is quite dry and possess very little vapour.

Bi) The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower parts of the stratosphere, from about 15 - 35 kilometers from the Earth's surface (9.3 - 21.7 miles).

C) ozone is naturally located mostly in the lower parts of the stratosphere. ozone in the stratosphere is beneficial for human survival because it blocks ultra violet radiation, but when it is present in the troposphere, it acts as green house games which is harmful to humans .

D) Temperature inversion is a condition in which the temperature of the atmosphere increases with altitude increase instead of the normal decrease of temperature with altitude.

When an inversion occurs, warmer air is held above cooler air; the normal temperature profile with altitude is reversed. An inversion can lead to air pollution being trapped causing a smog, close to the ground.

Who was the main aggressor during the cold war and why?<br><br> I will award you with the brainiest
Dimas [21]
"Aggressor" is a fairly political and loose term. I believe they were both proportionally bad in the situation. However since you are likely looking for an argument for one side, I suppose I would have to go with the USSR. They started the Berlin blockade which both violated treaties and nearly led to a large war. At the time in Russia, if anyone disagreed with their secular agenda or government they would be exiled. I think it's important though to again point out that contrary to popular belief, both sides got into unwanted wars and did aggressive things during the time and neither should be dubbed the only "aggressor"
