Ans.

Carcinogens can be defined as a physical and chemical agent that leads to development of cancer (carcinogenesis), such as radiation, toxic chemicals, and tumor-causing viruses due to mutations in genetic material of cells.

Tobacco is considered as a carcinogen as it can cause lung cancer, mouth cancer, and various other types of cancer. Tobacco contains around seventy chemicals, which promote or initiate cancer and make it a potent carcinogen.

What are glaciers? A glacier is a huge mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

What do they look like?

Glaciers look like solid blocks of ice.

What climate do they exist in?

Regions that have high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer.

Where can you find them?

Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.

What do you think we can learn from glaciers?

Glaciers preserve bits of atmosphere from thousands of years ago in these tiny air bubbles, or, deeper within the core, trapped within the ice itself. This is one way scientists know that there have been several Ice Ages. Scientists are also finding that glaciers reveal clues about global warming.

(The last question is unclear to me, so I'm going to take a guess as to what you meant)

Why is sea ice so important?

Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate.

I hope this helps!! :3
