HERE IS YOUR ANSWER BRO

I HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU.

This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution. (Credit: Luthi, D., et al.. 2008; Etheridge, D.M., et al. 2010; Vostok ice core data/J.R. Petit et al.; NOAA Mauna Loa CO2 record.) Find out more about ice cores (external site).

The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.

- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.1

Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.

The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2 Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response.

Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that the Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.3

## The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling:

Global Temperature Rise :-

The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.4 Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the six warmest years on record taking place since 2014. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year — from January through September, with the exception of June — were the warmest on record for those respective months.

The graph shows the change in forest cover across various regions of the world between 1990 and 2010. Identify the location wher
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is South America.

Explanation

The graph shows the change in forest cover across various regions such as Eastern and Southern Africa, Northern Africa, Western and Central Africa, East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, Western and Central Asia, Europe, Caribbean, Central America, North America, Oceania and South America of the world between 1990 and 2010 (divided into four groups 1990, 2000, 2005 and 2010). According to the graph the region with less change in forest cover is North America because through those years, there were close to 700.000 Ha; the region with the most increase of forest cover is East Asia because in 1990 there were close to 200.000 Ha and in 2010 there were close to 270.000 Ha, and the region with the most decrease of forest cover is South America because in 1990 there were close to 930.000 Ha and in 2010 there were close to 850.000 Ha. According to the above, the correct answer is South America.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The correct option is : a) Interflow

Explanation:

Soil is a component of the Earth's ecosystem and is defined as a mixture of organic matter, living organisms, minerals, liquids and gases. Soil is needed to support life on Earth. The soil on the Earth's surface is called the pedosphere.

Soil can process and hold a considerable amount of water in it. The lateral movement of water through the particles of soil is known as through flow or interflow.
