<h2>Answer:</h2>

In cap-and-trade system, countries can buy and sell <u>pollution credits</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Carbon credits is a permit which allows either a company or a country to emit greenhouses but limits the amount that can be emitted. It aims to reduce pollution and greenhouses gases emitted. The credits are valued against one tonne of carbon dioxide and a certain number is allotted to each country.  

Trading carbon credits between countries or companies promote balance in worldwide emission. The proposal for pollution credits that set emission budget for countries was made in 1997 and meant to be in operation in 2005. Participating countries signed to endorse the deal.

What landforms are created by divergent boundaries
kvasek [131]

Answer:

New crust, sometimes islands/mountains

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries are when two tectonic places are moving away from each other. In the current configuration of Earth, that happens in the ocean.

When plates move away from each other, they leave a gap.  That gap is filled with lava that solidifies quickly and forms now crust.  If the ocean floor is relatively shallow, and the lava pressure is big enough, that can lead to the formation of new islands, mountains/volcanoes on top of the gap.  That's basically how the Galapagos islands were created.

How does the study of mars and Venus help establish the validity of the greenhouse effect
kipiarov [429]
Venus will help us understand what happens when the greenhouse effect is really extreme but it's not a really good example of what will happen to Earth because of human activities. Life on Earth would completely die due to the extreme temperatures way before reaching even half of the concentrations of carbon dioxide on Venus. Mars doesn’t really have any greenhouse effects. Mars does have some atmospheric carbon dioxide but almost no atmosphere but the atmosphere it does have is so thin that it cannot keep energy from the Sun. That’s why there are extreme temperature contrasts between day and night and sun or shade. However, most scientists say that Mars used to be warmer in and even had oceans, which means that the atmosphere was also very different. About 3600 million years ago, something happened and the planet evolved towards its current state. studying the planet could tell us what could have caused such a huge change

An elephant lives in a grassland area.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. They inhabit dry to wet forest and grassland habitats in 13 range countries spanning South and Southeast Asia. While they have preferred forage plants, Asian elephants have adapted to surviving on resources that vary based on the area.

Asian elephants are extremely sociable, forming groups of six to seven related females that are led by the oldest female, the matriarch. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form larger herds, although these associations are relatively short-lived. In Asia, elephant herd sizes are significantly smaller than those of savannah elephants in Africa.

More than two-thirds of an elephant's day may be spent feeding on grasses, but it also eats large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves, and small stems. Cultivated crops such as bananas, rice, and sugarcane are favorite foods. Elephants are always close to a source of fresh water because they need to drink at least once a day.

In Asia, humans have had close associations with elephants over many centuries, and elephants have become important cultural icons. According to Hindu mythology, the gods (deva) and the demons (asura) churned the oceans in a search for the elixir of life so that they would become immortal. As they did so, nine jewels surfaced, one of which was the elephant. In Hinduism, the powerful deity honored before all sacred rituals is the elephant-headed Lord Ganesha, who is also called the Remover of Obstacles.
