Greater solar irradiance means more energy is delivered per second to an area. What effect will higher solar irradiance have on
AysviL [449]

The resulting imbalance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation will likely cause Earth to heat up over the next century, accelerating the melting polar ice caps, causing sea levels to rise and increasing the probability of more violent global weather patterns.

Which of the following can lead to the formation of an ocean dead zone? Choose one or more: o phytoplankton blooms o overfishing
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1. phytoplankton blooms

Explanation:

  • A dead zone is a zone that is created by the presence of the dead and decomposing matter of the plant an abiotic component that depletes the oxygen and thereby creating a thick layer of nutrient-rich deposits in the aquatic environment that does not support the marine and fish life.  
  • They may result from agricultural, industrial and urban flows. And the changes that occur with the climate changes and the seasonal cycles of the earth. There are four types of dead zones classified on their lengths.  

<u>Permanent </u><u>dead zone i.e the rarely exceed 2 milligrams per liter. </u>

<u>Temporal </u><u>dead zones i.e the short-lived dead zone that lat flour hours a day. </u>

<u>Seasonal </u><u>dead zones occur annually mostly in the summer months. </u>

<u>The </u><u>hypoxic </u><u>zone that occurs in the night time. </u>

Which of the following is an example of biological weathering?
vaieri [72.5K]
Biological weathering is caused by living organisms, such as microbes, animals, and plants. Water, oxygen, and rocks are nonliving things (though water and rocks may be capable of weathering), and only plant roots fits the definition of biological weathering. So the correct answer for #1 is A.

Frost wedging occurs when the little water content in rock freezes, expanding and forcing the rock apart. Eventually, enough freeze-melt cycles causes the rock to break apart little by little. This is due to ice's density being less than that of water, meaning that it is because water expands when frozen. So the answer to #2 is A.
