Answer and Explanation:

According to a report, one of the  main reason for heavily polluted China's coastline is industrial waste, mainly plastic waste dumped in ocean making China the third largest plastic waste producer contributing to contamination of ocean water.

According to a survey of 2014, about 81% of China's coastline is polluted with main pollutants- fertilizers constituents like inorganic nitrogen, phosphate, oil spills and chemical waste from industries which resulted in the most powerful environmental disaster (earthquake and Tsunami on March 11, 2011).

The remedial action taken by the government to limit the pollution is by taking few preventive measures as follows:

1) Limiting the use of plastic bags, almost banning them.

2) Disposition, recycle and reuse of industrial and plastic waste

3) To restrict dumping of chemicals in water bodies or atleast reduce it.

4) Monitoring of changes in the chemical property of water and the overall impact on environment and ecosystem.

Why are hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator? A. There is more wind near the equator. B. There is less landmass
levacccp [35]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator because "the ocean water can evaporate more quickly near equator".

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Hurricanes are fast moving wind storms that use heat and most air as their fuel. The air near the 'equator' is warm and moist causing more hurricanes.
  • The warm and moist air from the 'ocean surface' rises above and generates an "area of low pressure".
  • This causes air from nearby areas to move to the area of low pressure. This new air becomes moist and warm. This warm air when cools forms clouds.
  • This cloud systems and winds grows and spins fed by the "water evaporating" from the surface of the ocean. This in turn creates a storm called a hurricane.
