Answer:

1. Nitrogen oxides e.g Nitrogendioxide (NO2)

2. Carbon monooxide (CO)

3. Volatile organic compounds e.g hydrocarbons

Explanation:

Ozone (O3) is an atmospheric gas that consists of three oxygen atoms in its structure. Ozone can be found in the stratosphere (upper atmosphere) or troposphere (ground level). Ozone in the stratosphere protects the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun from reaching the earth while the ozone in the troposphere is harmful as it causes respiratory ailments.

Ozone in the troposphere is regarded a secondary pollutant because it is formed from the chemical combination of primary pollutants in the atmosphere. These primary pollutants react to produce ozone in the presence of sunlight. They are called OZONE PRECURSORS and they include Nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide.

These ozone precursors emanates from engine exhaust in vehicles, industrial emissions, refineries, chemical deposit etc.

Do you think that solids can undergo convection? explain
sergey [27]
Convection is a type of heat transfer that occurs in molecules. It refers to the collective movement of molecules within fluids and rheids (non-molten solids). Convection happens through the process of diffusion, advection, or the combination of both. Therefore solids cannot undergo this process because bulk current flows and significant diffusion cannot take place within the molecules of solids. Aside from this, solids have bigger molecules that are too compact and cannot move freely unlike fluids do.  
<span>
Convection can best be seen through an experiment when a glass of water is exposed to a heat source. The change in temperature in the glass causes warm fluid to move into cooler areas which causes it to boil and bubble. </span>

Global air circulation cells move air _____.
tino4ka555 [31]

Global air circulation cells move air "clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern hemisphere".

<u>Answer:</u> Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Global circulation is defined as the global connection of winds, through which the requisite heat transport  from tropical latitudes to polar latitudes carried out. Each hemisphere comprises with three cells, such as Hadley, Ferrel and Polar cell, air circulation take place in this through the complete depth of the troposphere.

The worldwide circulation cells allow passage of air in clockwise pattern in the northern hemisphere while in southern hemisphere circulate in counter-clockwise pattern from equator to poles but in different directions and at different latitudes.
