Answer:

The given statement about the air parcel is True

Explanation:

It can be explained as atmospheric pressure on air parcel is higher due to which it contracts when it is close to earth but if the temperature inside the parcel is more than that of the surrounding then due to low density it will rise upward and as the parcel gains height the air pressure exerted by the surrounding on the parcel reduces due to increase in height of the parcel from the earth and hence the air parcel expands. The entire process happens with heat being constant (adiabatic) i.e., amount of heat transferred in the expansion remains same.

Now, the same amount of heat is scattered on the expanded area leading the parcel to cool as it ascends.

Africa: Do humans change their physical environment to adapt, or do humans adapt themselves to their physical environment? Provi
Reil [10]

Depending on the period of time we are talking about, both things have been taking action. In the past, mostly the humans were adapting to the environment in order to survive, as they were still not powerful enough to start and shape up the environment as they wanted. This can easily be seen in the physical features of the people, like the mongoloids have developed fat bellow their eyes in order to protect them from the extreme cold, as well as reducing the sweat glands because they developed as a race in extremely cold environment.

In the more recent times, the humans have turned things around, and they are the ones that change the environment, not the other way around. Because the humans managed to reach a high level of technological advancements, they do not have evolutionary pressure to change, but they are the ones that make the environment adapt to them.

JA=9, AL=10 and LK=24 Find the perimeter of ΔJKL.
kompoz [17]

I believe the three given sides should have been JK = 9, LK =24, and LJ = 10. In this problem, you are asked to find the perimeter of a triangle. To find the perimeter of a triangle, you will just add the measurement of the three sides. So in this problem, the perimeter is 43 units (9 + 24 + 10).

The troposphere contains 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere.
nika2105 [10]
This statement is false!

Around 90% of all the ozone contained in the atmosphere is accumulated in the stratosphere - this area is also called the ozone layer due to the high concentration of ozone.

Troposphere is below the stratosphere, and it's the one that's closest to the earth.
