Answer:

<u>Instead of Helium and Hydrogen there are heavier elements in inner planets like Nitrogen and oxygen.</u>

Explanation:

  • As the inner planets like Mercury, Venus and Mars and earth have a solid surface which is separated by the Sharpe atmosphere, and their gravity is too low to hold these light gases.
  • Uranus is primarily composed of gases and ice of which 83% is hydrogen and 15% helium and rest are trace gases. As in the early composition of the atmosphere, the inner planets like the earth had a solid atmosphere composed of solid silicates elements like magnesium, iron, calcium, and potassium.  
  • As the earth has a highly unstable atmosphere only carbon, nitrogen and oxygen combined in lightning occur. And planet mercury has no atmosphere thus gravity is too low to hold any gas.

Answer:

- As you move away from Venus, the sulfuric acid content increases.

Explanation:

The atmosphere of Venus primarily consists of CO2 along with sturdy clouds of sulfuric acid that covers the entire planet. This is the key reason that the more one goes away from the surface of the planet, the more there is an increase in the amount of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Thus, Venus is characterized as the hottest planet despite not being closest to the sun.

Economic consequences of removing dams
g100num [7]
The U.S. has more than 87,000 dams greater than six feet high (and two million overall). While many dams continue to provide benefits such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply, for other dams the cost of maintenance or the negative effects on communities, fish, and tribes justifies their removal.
Dam owners and regulators decide whether to remove a dam by weighing many factors including: the cost of removal and the ability to replace any lost power generation against avoided long-term maintenance; safety concerns; benefits to endangered fish populations; increased recreational and commercial fishing; and restoration of cultural values of nearby tribes.
By 2020, roughly 70% of dams will be more than 50 years old, inviting us to reconsider the value to the public of long-term investments in this infrastructure.
