Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The grand canyon is a steep side canyon that is formed the Colorado rover in the state of  Arizona and is a 277 mile long and is 29 km wide. The Colorado River established its course about 5 to 6 million years ago and since then has been cutting the tributaries and deepening the canyon.
  • The upliftment lined to the mountain formation later moved the sediments thousand feet upwards and created the Colorado plateau. Causing the temperatures in the northern rimland to decrease than in the southern rim due to its greater height above elevation.
  • As weather varies according to the elevations the forested rims have high snowfall but the temperature at the Colorado rover is warmer, about 1,737 species of vascular planet and fungi, lichens and others are found at 24,00 meters height.

Answer:

5) All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When its concentration in the atmoshpere rises above normal, it can affect the climate pattern and lead to climate change.

Carbon dioxide prevents outgoing solar radiation from escaping the earth's atmosphere and this warms the earth surface. The more the presence of the gas, the more heating that would result.

Excessive release of carbon dioxide causes a phenomenon known as global warming. Global warming is simply the warming of the globe.

The consequences includes:

  • Melting of Greenland ice sheets as temperature spikes.
  • Glaciers and permafrosts in temperate and polar regions will melt.
  • Ocean acidification due to dissolution of excess carbon dioxide in sea water to form carbonic acid.
  • There is general increase in surface temperature due to accelerated warming.
