These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air). Each of these four spheres can be further divided into sub-spheres
Answer:
1.0236 billion metric tons
Explanation:
Given Parameters
Number of cars = 300000000
Average gas mileage per car = 25 MPG
Average distance covered by a car in one year = 10000 miles
CO2 Emission = 8.53 kg/gallon
Derivations from the given parameters,
If the average gas mileage per car is 25 MPG, then the volume of fuel consumed by a car in a year is:
<em>10000 miles ÷ 25 MPG = 400 gallons
</em>
The CO2 emission for one car in a year is:
<em>400 gallons × 8.53 kg/gallon = 3412 kg or 3.412 metric tons (note: 1000 kg = 1 metric ton)
</em>
The CO2 emission for 300000000 cars in year is:
<em>3.412 metric tons × 300000000 = 1023600000 kg = 1.0236 billion metric tons
</em>
There is no doubt Antarctica is an incredible tourist destination. It is a magnificent and largely uninhabited wilderness with majestic mountains, glaciers, icebergs and abundant wildlife. Its remoteness, inaccessibility and severe climate add an element of adventure to a visit to Antarctica.
Visitor numbers have increased rapidly over the last few decades. During the 1998-99 summer season, over 10,000 tourists visited Antarctica compared with less than 2,000 19 years ago. Tours are organised by private companies and people from all over the world make the journey to see the icy continent.
The trend of increasing visitor numbers has led the Antarctic Treaty countries to establish guidelines and regulations to minimise the impact of these visitors on this remarkable environment.
