A scientist observes that a region covered by permafrost a few years ago has now thawed. How could this trend be related to the

use of fossil fuels?
Greenhouse gases trap more heat in Earth's atmosphere.

Particulate matter covers and warms the ground.

Soil thaws more easily as it becomes more acidic.

Factories using fossil fuels generate heat.

Answer:

greenhouse gases trap more heat in Earth's atmosphere.

Answer:

Greenhouse gases trap more heat in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Permafrost is the soil that spends the entire year frozen and that covers 25% of the Northern Hemisphere's land surface, mainly in Russia, Canada and Alaska. It can consist of small fragments of ice or large masses, and its thickness can range from a few meters to hundreds.

The greenhouse gases emitted by large corporations through the constant use of fossil fuels, cause the earth's temperature to rise because they promote heat retention. As a result, permafrost can be defrosted. This is very dangerous for humanity because the thawing of frozen soils and can bring back viruses and bacteria that have been trapped in the past.

Ape species began to dwindle during the Miocene, leaving only a few remaining: a situation that exists up to the present. It is
fiasKO [112]

The change in weather pattern caused forest to become sparse and hot weather caused the reduction of apes as they had less food and difficulty in surviving the climate.

Explanation:

In Miocene epoch volcanic mountain chains were created in Central Africa which abruptly changed the local weather.

The sea-level got drop due to global cooling of that time.

This resulted in continental drift making land connection of Africa with Eurasia.

The primates started migrating through this route.

The African forest become dry causing selective pressures in primates.

The cooler climate in Eurasia caused extinction and migration of primates to Africa in late Miocene epoch.

The hot and humid climate and less woodland caused a reduction in number of apes which were replaced by modern world monkeys.

Answer:

In the light-independent reactions or Calvin cycle, the energized electrons from the light-dependent reactions provide the energy to form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide molecules.  

Explanation:

After the energy is transferred, the energy carrier molecules return to the light-dependent reactions to obtain more energized electrons.
