Climate change
Greenhouse effect

Some heat energy from the Earth’s surface escapes into space. If too much heat energy escaped, the planet would be very cold. However some gases in the atmosphere can trap escaping heat energy, causing some of it to pass back to the surface.

These are called greenhouse gases, and they keep our planet warm, which is a good thing. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas.

Increasing carbon dioxide levels

Humans burn fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. The energy released is used to power cars and other machines, to generate electricity, and to keep buildings warm. The burning fuel releases waste gases, including carbon dioxide. As the human population increases, more fuel is used, and more carbon dioxide is released.

Global warming

The extra carbon dioxide increases the greenhouse effect. More heat is trapped by the atmosphere, causing the planet to become warmer than it would be naturally. The increase in global temperature this causes is called global warming.

ICE Princess25 [194]
You can reduce the risks of radiation exposure by:

1. Eating foods that contain chlorophyll. Foods that contain this substance detoxify the blood, helping to remove all kinds of nasty toxins including radiation.

2. Ingest sea vegetables. Kelp, dulse, and agar contain natural iodine, which protects against radioactive iodine found in foods like dairy products.

3. Supplement with bee pollen. It can protect your body against x-ray induced radiation sickness.

4. Limit daily exposure to nonionizing radiation.

In what way can runoff be a problem
Verizon [17]
Runoff in neighborhoods can be a problem because as the water runs it can collect pollutants such as oil, pesticides, bacteria, etc. These pollutants can end up in our drinking water or can run into our fishing supply and even our swimming water... I wouldn't want to be swimming or eating fish that was swimming in pesticides and bacteria.

20 points & Brainliest answer quickly plsssss
torisob [31]

Answer:

Answer: D; Irregular shape

Explanation: I'm not entirely positive but I do believe that the factor they're wanting you to notice in this question is the shape, as it states "deposition of the jagged particle". The shape affects the rate, as in the notes directly from the video it states "round particles settle more quickly".
