The correct answer is (C) Erupting volcanoes release many toxic gases.

Air pollutants are gases that harms the environment and human health. Some air pollutants come from volcanic eruption are toxic( like sulphuric acid) and harm our health. Volcanic eruption produce soot and ash into the atmosphere , which reduces sunlight and lowers temperatures. Eruption also produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other polluting gases

Some other examples of natural air pollutants are:

1. Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps from the ground in some areas, and fog and mist are both dense water vapor at ground level that obscures vision. 2. Ozone, a chemical formed naturally by the action of sunlight on oxygen, is a pollutant at ground level but beneficial in the upper atmosphere. It damages plants and causes breathing problem in the lower atmosphere.

Chapter 4 Review
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A rainforest is humid, therefore, water uptake would likely not be an issue. However, rainforests have a huge number of trees, often these are very tall. These large trees might block out the sun from the smaller plants nearer the ground. This means they would struggle to properly photosynthesise, as they wouldn't have the necessary light energy.

Therefore, as a survival adaptation, it is likely that an allele that produced broader leaves for photosynthesis would be selected for in this population. Broader leaves would give a larger surface area for the plant to absorb light energy to perform photosynthesis.
