The correct answer is C. Ozone

Explanation:

Ozone is a type of gas formed by oxygen that can be found mainly in the stratosphere that is the layer found from around 8km to 60 km above the Earth's surface. Additionally, the ozone is the gas that absorbs ultraviolet radiation produced by the sun, also called UV radiation, this function of ozone is quite important because an excess in UV radiation causes burns in the living organism and leads to dagame in tissues. However, an excess of ozone can also lead to the greenhouse effect. According to this, it is ozone the component or gas that absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

What caused the fall of the Roman Empire
Anton [14]
It was caused by a mix of different scenarios. Rome was constantly attacked by Barbarian tribes; they were over-expanded, which made it really hard for them to keep their entire empire under control; they had a lot of economic problems and relied too much on slave labor; and they spent way too much money on their military, just to name a few factors.

What basin lies primarily in northern brazil
Ganezh [65]

The correct answer is - Amazon Basin.

The northern half of Brazil is dominated by the Amazon Basin. This basin is formed by one of the longest rivers in the world, the Amazon River, which is also the river that has the highest amount of water in it. It lies in the middle of the Amazon Basin, cutting it in half, and in certain parts of the year flooding parts of it. This basin is covered by tropical rainforest, in fact the largest tropical rainforest in the world, the Amazon rainforest. It is an area dominated by lowlands and small hills, cut by thousands of smaller and larger rivers, all of which are tributaries to the largest one, the Amazon River. This basin is also the place on the planet that has the highest biodiversity in the world of plants or animals.

If you could count stars at a rate of about one per second, how long would it take to count all the stars in the Milky Way Galax
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It could take several thousands of years.

Explanation:

To be specific, the exact number of stars in the galaxy is unknown, it's estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars.

But for the sake of this test, let's take as valid a recent study of the European space agency, that believes that we have 100 billion stars orbiting our galaxy.

If you could count 1 every second it would mean you'll need at least 100 billion seconds to do it. How many days is that?

We have:

100 billion seconds = 1.666 billion minutes

1.666 billion minutes = 27.777 million hours

27.777 million hours = 1,157 million days = 3,170 years.

You would need at least, 3170 years of spare time, considering that you will do no other thing than counting stars for the next 3 millennia.
