C.erupting volcanoes release many toxic gasses.

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.

Which type of skin glands are most affected by the hormonal changes that occur during puberty?
Anna [14]

Apocrine sweat glands  are most affected by the hormonal changes that occur during puberty.

What is puberty ?

Between childhood and adulthood, puberty is a time of rapid growth, the emergence of secondary sexual traits, the attainment of fertility, and significant psychological changes. Although the order in which pubertal changes occur is fairly predictable, their exact time varies greatly.

At puberty, sex hormones stimulate the apocrine sweat glands, which then begin to work. In the groin and axilla, they are linked to hair follicles. The thick, protein-rich substance has no smell at first but may acquire one after coming into contact with germs.

The term for energy of movement
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer;

-Kinetic energy

Explanation;

The energy associated with motion or movement is called kinetic energy.

-Kinetic and potential energies are found in all objects. If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position; gravitational energy.

-An object that has motion - whether it is vertical or horizontal motion - has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is calculated by the formula 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

-Therefore, kinetic energy depends upon two variables: the mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) of the object.
