Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When CO_{2} is released from driving cars, some of which is absorbed by the plants but the rest of CO_{2} reacts with the sea or ocean water.

It reacts with water molecules and changes the chemistry of ocean water by lowering its pH. As it is known that when pH becomes lower then the substance becomes acidic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that driving cars lowers the pH of the oceans by releasing CO_{2} that dissolves and forms acid in the oceans.

Two solid blocks are HEATED to the temperatures show. The blocks are placed so they touch. Which diagram shows the DIRECTION HEA
Setler [38]

Answer:

Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature

Explanation:

The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.

  • Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
  • As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
  • Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
  • When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.
