<span>3) Oceans
The oceans are a massive carbon sink, and part of the positive reinforcement of the greenhouse gas cycle is that, as the oceans become warmer, then tend to release more carbon dioxide dissolved in the water which in turn drives temperatures warmer.</span>
Answer:
Metamorphic rocks have been put under great pressure, heated, squashed or stretched, and fossils do not usually survive these extreme conditions.
Explanation:
Answer: false
Explanation:
Solute is the substance that dissolves
Solvents is the substance that dilutes dissolve in to make a solution eg ocean water is a solution of salt and water
Water being the solvent and salt being the solute
Answer:
b) and c)
Explanation:
Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.
Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.
Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.
Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.
<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect.

Answers are in bold.
1. Energy from the sun is transferred to Earth's surface. Some of that energy is then transferred to the air above the surface.
2. The closer a location is to the equator the more energy it receives from the sun. Therefore a location's air temperature is affected by its distance from the equator.
3. An effect may have more than one cause. These may be linked into a chain of causes and effects.
