Answer:

Almost all national parks in the US they have environmental pollution problems that include unhealthy oxygen, cloudy skies, damage to nature and the effects of climate change (drought, snow cover reduction and an increase in forest fires).

Explanation:

California may have the most polluted national parks, but its leadership in environmental matters could become the best equipped state to deal with the problem, as it has supported strict air quality limits. The Regional Turbidity Rule of the Environmental Protection Agency requires states to improve visibility and environmental quality in parks by 2064. This improvement can be achieved by reducing emissions of harmful pollutants, a measure that the Earth continues to heat up.

However, smog includes ground-level ozone and particle pollution, it is still a nightmare. Ground-level ozone, a difference from that found naturally in the stratosphere, is an invisible secondary pollutant that results from reactions between chemicals emitted by vehicles and power plants, and they are present in paints and gasoline. These reactions are accelerated by heat. Forest fires also help increase smog. The health problems that cause this include cough, throat and chest irritation, and can aggravate specific respiratory conditions.

Which describes the boundary where earthquake activity occurs along rift valleys?
Andreyy89

Answer:

divergent boundary on land

Explanation:

Divergent boundary involves the crustal spreading of two tectonic plates. Divergent boundary is the separation or rifting apart of two plates. Divergent boundary can occur between oceanic plates or continental plates.

Divergent boundary between oceanic plates , the convection currents lift the lithosphere producing a mid oceanic ridge. Extensional forces spreads the lithospheric plate apart causing an in flow of magma from the interior of the earth. The magmatic materials travels through fissure and oceanic ridges to the surface of the ocean floor. The volcanic material/magma later solidifies to form new oceanic crust with the youngest rock closest to the mid oceanic ridge.

Divergent boundary between continental plates , the convection current usually pull the continental plates upward due to the thickness of the continental plates. The continental plates are pulled thin by the extensional forces resulting to fracture. The fracture result into a rift shaped structure. Rift valleys are formed which is a lowland region. The two parts of the continents(lands) that are separated are likely to develop fault on both sides of the rifts. The fractured area along the rift valley is a region prone to earthquakes.

Rift valley are structures found in divergent boundary between continents(land) and are region of earthquakes activities because of movements and fracturing occurrence. The East African rift is an example of this kind of plates boundary.

How does deforestation affect the amount of water in rivers and the air we breathe?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Internet Answer- Deforestation has an effect on global air quality because trees release water vapor into the air which affects atmospheric temperatures and other crucial elements that keep this earth of ours ticking over nicely... This inevitably results in all of us breathing dirtier and more polluted air than we otherwise would.
