Answer:

Over 95% of incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in :

A. The Stratosphere.

Explanation:

Stratosphere is the second layer of the earth's atmosphere that lies next to the troposphere.
This layer experiences very little turbulence of air and is very significant because of the presence of Ozone layer in it.
The UV rays entering the Earth's atmosphere, photo dissociates ozone into O₂ and O. But these molecules quickly recombine to form ozone.Thus, stabilizing the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere.
During this photo dissociation UV radiations loses much of its energy. Thus, 95% of incoming Ultraviolet radiation gets absorbed in the Stratosphere.
Absorption of ozone UV radiation increases exponentially with the thickness of ozone layer.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

e) a drive

Explanation:

We felt thirsty when we have fluid imbalance in our body either we have less water or we have more concentration of osmolytes such as sodium in blood. The brain detect the change produce the effect for the intake of water.

However thirst is a vital primordial emotion that motivates us for fluid intake. So the emotion produces a drive to quench it.
Some recent studies refers it as basic instinct to drink water.

Describe how water

Alla [95]

Explanation:

Epipelagic zone, the topmost at the surface of the oceans receives most of the sunlight and most penetrating light rays diffuse in this layer. The temperatures at this zone, therefore, is warmer than zones below. This zone has lowest water pressure becaue there is little water column above it.

The deeper you get into the water the penetration of sunlight decreases. This is because the rays are greatly diffused even before they get to the deepest zones. The abyssalpelagic zone virtually receives no sunlight because the rays cannot get to this zone. This zone is, therefore, pitch dark and also the coldest. The deeper you get into the ocean the higher the water pressure due to the weight of the able water column. The water pressure is, therefore, highest in the abyssalpelagic zone.
