Global warming has been linked to a decrease in the

(a) rate of carbon dioxide production

(b) size of the polar ice caps

(d) rate of species extinction.

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) size of polar ice caps.

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. It is due to the increase in the green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others which trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere and increase the temperature causing the green house effect.

Global warming has numerous effects. A few of them have been listen below-

(1) It causes the change in the climate showing extreme weather conditions due to increase in the average temperature.

(2) It results in a higher rate of extinction of animals and causing disturbance in the ecosystem.

(3) It causes the melting of the ice caps resulting in decrease in the size of the ice caps. Arctic sea ice decline is the result of it showing increase in the sea level.

Thus, global warming results in the decrease in the size of the polar ice caps.

If heated with the same amount of energy and under the same conditions will soil or water cool faster?

Butoxors [25]

⭐Hola User_______________

⭐Here is Your Answer...!!

_______________________

↪Actually welcome to the concept of the Mode of tranfer of heat in solids and fluids

↪Basically here referring to the medium of transfer of heat

↪Soil = Solid medium and water = liquid medium

↪Basically according to the theory of thermal conductance. .

↪Solids transfer heat through conduction and liquids through the convection , thus here

↪The particlas in solid are more close and have much higher force of attraction in moleclues than the liquids , thus CONDUCTION occurs faster than CONVECTION..

↪therfore the soil will cool faster than the water ...

Which electrons have the most energy in an atom?

Ket [755]

The correct option is THE ELECTRON IN THE OUTERMOST ELECTRON SHELL.
Different levels of energy exist in the atom of an element and these levels are filled with electrons. The electrons in the innermost shell has the lowest energy level while the electrons in the outermost shell has the highest energy level. For an electron to increase its energy level, it has to move to an higher shell; and to decrease its energy level it has to move to a lower shell.

What is the human female reproductive system is adapted for? A. Production of zygotes in ovaries B. External fertilization of ga

victus00 [196]

Answer:

D. Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus.

Explanation:

Zygotes are fertilized egg cell, zygotes aren't produced in the ovaries but ovums or egg cells are produced in the ovaries. So option A is false.

Fertilization is internal not external in human. Option B is wrong.

Production of milk happens in the mammary gland (the breast) not in the reproductive system. Option C is false.

Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus. The placenta is a vascular organ which is implanted in the wall of the uterus (a part of the female reproductive system) and links to the foetus through the umbilical cord.
