The process of photosynthesis is found in plants. It is the process of the organism creating its own food. They can do this because of sunlight. Any more questions?

Photosynthesis is the process where plants make their own food by carbon dioxide, water and sunlight...so it's obvious it is based on plants

Temperature inversions occur naturally in the stratosphere and thermosphere, but also occur closer to the surface of earth in th

skelet666 [1.2K]

Temperature inversion or thermal inversion is a phenomenon during which the temperature increase when there is an increase in the altitude. It is an uncommon process that happens in the troposphere-the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth.

When there is an increase in temperature with altitude that warm air acts as a blockage for the cool air near the surface of the earth. So this is just opposite to the normal behavior of the air, where it becomes cooler with an increase in altitude.

So how air circulation behaves during inversion?

So as we said that the cool air nearer to the earth will be blocked by a layer of warm air. This blockage will hinder the circulation of air upwards from the lower layers. Let’s see how:

• As we know that, warm air is less dense and more buyout than cool air and normally less dense warm air is close to the earth and cool air is in above layers. But when the process is reversed, this warm air acts like a blanket for the proper circulation of air. Due to this, many environmental pollutants which normally leave the earth during air circulation get trapped in our air.

• The trapped environmental pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons get convert into harmful ozone that ultimately deteriorates the quality of air and causes problems like smog.

• The improper air circulation also causes suspension of the harmful gases near the earth instead of allowing them to leave the earth atmosphere. This ultimately causes air pollution.

• When smoke will not rise, carbon dioxide will be build up in the atmosphere; this will cause greenhouse effect and global warming.

Therefore, air circulation behaves very different during temperature inversion process and poses hazardous effects on global climate.

Hope it helps! :)

Which diagram shows the pathway of energy through an ecosystem?

Iteru [2.4K]

Question 1:
The correct answer should be the one that shows the producer first, (->) followed by the herbivore, (->) with the carnivore last.
Producers are organisms that harvest their own 'food' using things like the sunlight and water. Examples of producers are grass and other vegetation.

$Producer$
The herbivore, or an organism that consumes only vegetation and/or algae, consumes the producer.

$Producer$ ⇒ $Herbivore$
The carnivore consumes meat, or other animals such as the herbivore. It's the last.

$Producer$ ⇒ $Herbivore$ ⇒ $Carnivore$
Therefore the answer is B.

Question 2:
I'm pretty sure that succession as well as regrowth after volcanic eruption (Just look at Mount St. Helens. After 30-35 years after the eruption, nature is still recovering) happens over time/slowly. I would say global warming [C](?) would be the answer.

What causes changes in air pressure in the atmosphere

harina [27]

Answer:

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above

Explanation:

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above. Even tiny air molecules have some weight, and the huge numbers of air molecules that make up the layers of our atmosphere collectively have a great deal of weight, which presses down on whatever is below.
