The correct answer is - D. It was the first officially recognized case of the industrial pollution of seawater.
The Minamata disaster, or more often referred to as Minamata disease, was discovered in Japan, in the city if Minamata, in the year of 1956. It was practically a heavy pollution of the seawater caused by the Chisso factory, which was releasing methylmercury through its wastewater. The people, through eating sea food were getting diseased and very dying, and the same happened to the animals as well. The pollution was extending over a period of 36 years, from 1932 to 1968 until it was finally stopped.
Carbon Cycle.
Carbon is an element which is found plentifully within our Earth. It is an surviving element which is found in every single living organism residing in Earth.
Carbon cycle is a process where the atoms of carbon are reused again and again. In this process, the carbon passes into the Earth and its living creatures from the atmosphere and then it the same process repeats back again. To make it simple, the carbon cycle process is very similar to that of water cycle.
A very fix amount of carbon is present in Earth and its atmosphere, that same carbon is recycled again and again which helps in supporting the life on our planet.
The major rocks of Earth's crust are classified into three principal types based on their origin and appearance. Rocks in pure terms of geology can be defined as naturally occurring and coherent aggregate of one or more minerals.
Rocks are commonly divided into three major classes according to the processes that resulted in their formation. These three classes are-
- Igneous Rocks: Igneous rocks are those which have been formed from molten lava
- Sedimentary Rocks: Sedimentary rocks consists of fragments derived from preexisting rocks or of materials precipitated from solutions.
- Metamorphic Rocks: Metamorphic rocks are those that have been derived from either igneous or sedimentary rocks under conditions that caused changes naturally and over time.

<u>ANSWER:</u>
Hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator because "the ocean water can evaporate more quickly near equator".
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- Hurricanes are fast moving wind storms that use heat and most air as their fuel. The air near the 'equator' is warm and moist causing more hurricanes.
- The warm and moist air from the 'ocean surface' rises above and generates an "area of low pressure".
- This causes air from nearby areas to move to the area of low pressure. This new air becomes moist and warm. This warm air when cools forms clouds.
- This cloud systems and winds grows and spins fed by the "water evaporating" from the surface of the ocean. This in turn creates a storm called a hurricane.
