Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

During the 20th century, there was an increasing interest in the environment. The impact of human activity on the environment has been observed locally since centuries. Pollution of canals and chimneys in crowded urban areas etc were all causes of concern.

However, with a better understanding of our earth and increase in Medical knowledge of the 20th century, we could observe how our activities were having a global impact on the ozone layer and the melting ice caps.

Evidence was also provided on how human health was affected by this. The use of fossil fuels was not only directly damaging to the atmosphere, it was also dangerous for humans e.g. carbon monoxide produced by car emissions.

How is general fertility rate different from fertility rate

Triss [41]

Explanation:

The general fertility rate is an age/sex-specific birth rate while the total fertility rate is an age/sex-adjusted birth rate. The TFR is an age-adjusted rate because it is based on the assumption that there are the same number of women in each age group.

What is the best definition of fossil range?

julia-pushkina [17]

The fossil range can simply be defined as the time period in which an organism has existed, thus left fossil traces of its existence. The fossil range can be very short, medium, or long, thus usually there are limitations before certain type of organism evolves into another species, thus eliminating the ancestral organism from the fossil records. On the other hand, there are organisms that have incredibly big fossil ranges of several hundred million years, and since they emerged, they have remained almost unchanged. Those kind of fossil ranges are very rare though, and they don't represent the general picture. Most of the fossil ranges are between several thousand years and several million years, as that is usually how much a species exists, ending its reign, be it because of competition, changes in the environment, or big natural disaster.

Define the following:<br> deflation hollows<br> crevasses<br> morain

krok68 [10]

Dune deflation hollows are where wind has removed sand down to a level where a layer of particles too heavy for the wind to move (an armoured surface) stabilises the sand and prevents the surface being lowered further.
A crevasse is a deep, wedge-shaped opening in a moving mass of ice called a glacier. Crevasses usually form in the top 50 meters (160 feet) of a glacier, where the ice is brittle.
a mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edges or extremity.
