What type of human activities cause the elevation of atmospheric greenhouse gases

Biology
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
6 0
The amount of greenhouse effect on Earth is directly proportional to the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In this era of industrialization, although it may seem that it has greatly improved the global economy, it also downplays the importance of consistently upholding our role as a steward to Earth. 

The most common types of human activities that continuously worsen the greenhouse effect are: burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, and industrial processes.

The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas emits carbon dioxide which accounts for approximately three-quarters of the warming impact caused by the greenhouse gas emissions. This is amplified significantly through deforestation. 

Methane, which accounts for 14 percent, and nitrous oxide, which accounts for eight percent are one of the major greenhouse gas emissions on earth. This can be sourced out from livestock and rice fields and also fossil fuel extraction and organic waste decay in landfill sites.

Industrial processes would incept fluorinated gases which accounts for one percent of the warming effect of current human greenhouse gas emissions.

Although it may seem that the values are not that high, but it must also be taken into consideration the several or a superfluous number of industries all around the world that simultaneously worsens the already groveling site of the continuously deteriorating and exploited planet Earth.

No two people are genetically identical, except for identical twins. The main source of genetic variation among humans is
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

c. the reshuffling of alleles in sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

During gametogenesis, meiosis occurs in reproductive cells. As a result, haploid gametes are produced. During meiosis, a process called ‘crossing over’ occurs in the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis. During crossing the chromosome segments are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Exchange of chromosome segment creates a new combination of genes or genetic recombination and produces hybrids. Thus, genetic variation occurs in all sexually reproducing organisms due to crossing over.

Match the word to the best sentence.anticodon, codon, complementary strand, DNA, DNA replication, mRNA, nucleotide, transcriptio
Degger [83]

Answer:

Is C

Explanation:

In translation, the cell uses the genetic information contained in mRNA to make the proteins that

carry out the cell’s work. The cell translates the code contained in the mRNA into a new

language, the language of proteins, based on amino acids. Other types of RNA, such as transfer

R

In this section, you will be introduced to the components involved in the process of protein

synthesis, called translation. This process requires a protein/RNA complex called the ribosome

Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like
Ivahew [28]

Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like  thousands of years ago as Limestone can contain fossilized plants and animals.

Explanation:

  • Limestone often contains fossils of shelled sea creatures. Entire reef formations and communities of organisms are found preserved in limestone.
  • The types of fossils found in limestone include coral, algae, clams, brachiopods, bryozoa and crinoids.
  • Limestone is a sedimentary rock made almost entirely of fossils.
  • Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals, like an imprint in a rock or actual bones and shells that have turned into rock. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks and hold the clues to life on Earth long ago.
  • Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite; calcium carbonate. It often has variable amounts of silica in it, as well as varying amounts of clay, silt, and sand. Limestone rocks fall under the category of sedimentary rocks that are made from mineral calcite.
