Coal fired power plants are used to create the electricity that we depend on. However, they also release a lot of pollution into

the atmosphere through their giant smokestacks.
Clint claims that although this might be bad for the air very near the power plant, the air in the next town over is completely fine.

What is wrong with Clint's belief?

Clint's claim is wrong from multiple aspects, with the two most important being:

- Movement of air masses;

In order for the pollution to stay only just above the place where the power plant is, there should be no atmosphere and no air movement, and the Earth is not a planet of that type. The movement of the air masses will disperse the polluters on a much wider area, including the nearby town.

- Global impact;

Though some of the pollution will be dispersed in the lower part of the atmosphere, big portion of it will go up into the higher parts of the atmosphere. By doing that, those polluters, mostly the CO2, will be increasing the Greenhouse effect, which basically means the rise of the global temperatures because of bigger retaining of the heat in the Earth's atmosphere. That will affect the whole planet, including the place where the power plant is, and the nearby town.

Answer:

Explanation:

The four elements been referred to here are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.

These four elements constitute the majority of the human body because of a combination of factors. Although, some of these factors are the major reasons, for instance the human body is made up of cells which are the basic structures of life. The cell consists of over 70% of water (which is made of hydrogen and oxygen). Also, oxygen is inhaled through the process of respiration which combines with other molecules (such as haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin) in the human body. These among others make oxygen the most abundant element in the human body.

Naturally occurring organisms usually have a high concentration of organic molecules (molecules made of majorly carbon and hydrogen). This makes the human body have a high percentage (after oxygen) of carbon and hydrogen. Also, carbohydrates (which are later converted to glucose) form a large part of our diet and are stored in the body as glycogen (causing the body to have a high amount of carbon and hydrogen atoms).

Nitrogen is an essential part/element found in amino acids which are building blocks of protein. Proteins are involved in several metabolic activities in the body; this makes the abundance of nitrogen the fourth (one of the four) most common element in the body. It should be noted that amino acids also have carbon and hydrogen elements also.

The combination of the factors above among some other factors make the human body comprise mainly of these four elements
