antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A population density map is used to define as a map that shows the presence of a number of the population existing in any particular area. It directly reflects the dispersion of people that are mainly affected by environmental factors. This includes the variable amount of natural resources present in that area, the type of climate prevailing, the topography of the area and the availability of water resources.

The places which are rich in resources and low lying areas, with plenty of water resources and moderate type of climate are comprised of high-density population. On the other hand, the places which are highly elevated, lack of resources and extreme cold and hot climate are comprised of a lesser population.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

hodyreva [135]

Answer: Ozone is considered as chief polluting gas.

Explanation:

The ozone is a ground level pollutant. It is a colorless gas. It causes irritation in the eyes and respiratory tract. It is one of the components of smog as it causes pollution in the atmosphere. It is produced by the two primary pollutants that are nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds when they react with the sunlight. The ozone makes the air irrespirable. It is the main cause of throat irritation, labored breath, pain in chest and also responsible for respiratory diseases. It reduces the body's ability against infection. The ozone depleting substances like aerosol, chlorofluorocarbon are widening the ozone depleting zone as halides present in these substances react with the ozone causing depletion. This allows the entry of harmful ultraviolet radiation penetrating the atmospheric layers.
