The answer to ur question is A
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.
Connell's famous barnacle experiment was initiated to learn more about competitive exclusion and distribution of branacle species. Barnacle species are distributed in distinct zones on the rocky shores of the Atlantic coast. The Chthamalus in upper intertidal zone; is a smaller species and the semibalanus in low intertidal zone which is a larger species. Chthamalus found in the higher physical stress and higher temperatures because the low tide levels causes them to be exposed to the extreme outside environment for longer periods of time than the semibalanus. Additionally barnacles can only feed while submerged and the higher up shore a barnacle is, the less it can feed and grow. The experiment wanted to understand why they lived this way.
