Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas is an important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. A small increase in its concentration can lead to an increase in the earth's surface temperature. This increasing temperature has a direct impact on the glaciers of the high mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Andes mountain.

The glaciers of these mountains are melting over the years, on which the millions of people are directly dependent. During the summer season, these glaciers melt and come down as runoff. This provides water to the living organisms, thereby forming the water resources.

If these glaciers melt, then there won't be any water during the summer season, as a result of which millions of people will have to suffer.

Thus, the emission of CO₂ directly damages the glaciers of the Andes mountains, on which the people are dependent on the runoff.

Hence, the above statement is True.

Why do areas of high altitude (e.g., on the Tibetan plateau) have greater than expected UV intensity and areas of constant cloud
Tju [1.3M]

Explanation:

UV (ultraviolet) levels are high in the areas of high altitudes. Tibetan plateau being the highest plateau of the world is more exposed to the UV radiations as the atmosphere gets thinner in the areas of higher altitude. So it can not filter the maximum of ultraviolet radiations. Tibetan plateau is on 4,500 meters height and the UV level increase by 10-12% upon every 1000 meter elevation.

          However in those areas having the constant cloud cover like in Congo Basin the UV level is low as the clouds scatter the most of the UV radiations and they particularly stop the UV-B radiations. Thats why the cloudy areas have less UV level then the areas having a cloudless clear sky.
