As to why decomposers are important in the carbon and nitrogen cycles, well, they are. Decomposers, as their name strongly suggests, decompose matter, more specifically dead matter and waste materials. These decomposers break down the dead body of the once-living organisms and the living organisms' waste materials to their basic state. While in the process, the carbon is released as carbon dioxide. Nitrogen is also released in the process. Either they are both released into the atmosphere or are trapped on the ground. Some dead matters don't undergo decomposition due to certain factors which leads them to become fossil fuels and their compositions are released through human activities.

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field is straight up. It is reducing . As per Lenz's law , direction of induced current is such that it opposes the reason which creates it . magnetic field in upper direction is reducing . So current will be such that magnetic field produced by it increases magnetic field in upper direction . In other words , induced current should create magnetic field in upward direction. It is possible when direction of induced current is anti - clockwise, when seen from above.

Give reason for the following:

Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground because of gravitational attraction force of earth.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding.
