Ad libitum [116K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The temperature inversion is defined as the condition where the atmospheric temperature increases with respect to height. Normally, the temperature decrease with the height. A stable warm air overlays a colder air at higher elevations, during a temperature inversion condition. This inversion of temperature can also block the pollutants that rises from the lower atmospheric layers. It is because the  warm air that is present above the cooler air does not allow the trapping and merging of the substances.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

A fjord is usually defined as a contrasting geological landform, which is typically a U-shaped valley, that is formed due to the movement of the glaciers. It is generally narrow and forms steep-sided cliffs on both the sides and is mostly connected to the seas. They have huge depth, sometimes reaches up to a depth of about 1300 m. The downward flowing glaciers pushes the terminal moraine and allows it to remain underwater at its entrance, resulting in shallow water at the fjord's neck, in comparison to the main body of the fjord that is located behind it.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Clouds will form when warm air with water vapor rises and expands, causing it to ______________________________ into clouds.
12345 [234]
The answer is - condensate.
When the warm air with water vapor rises up in the atmosphere it reaches a point were temperatures drop, and this causes the water vapor to start the process of condensation, so the water vapor turns from gas to liquid, the forming of the clouds starts, and after that rain starts to fall.
