The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.4Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on record taking place since 2010. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year — from January through September, with the exception of June — were the warmest on record for those respective months. https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

Answer:

According to NASA, the planet has risen its temperature by 0.8 degrees Celcius (1.4 Fahrenheit).

Explanation:

Pollution is, in fact, one of the main factors the Earth's Climate is changing and getting warmer, We are currently sitting at 380 million carbon dioxide ppm emission, which is about 100 million more than the Highest historical Carbon dioxide emission. This type of pollutants that affect the atmosphere by trapping the radiation is one of the reasons the Earth is getting warmer, The current all-time highest CO2 emissions correlate to the rise of almost 1 degree we are experiencing today.

Even if 1 degree seems small a lot of natural processes will be affected dramatically, the ice caps will start melting exponentially, the glaciers ice layer would be smaller and with it, our water resources would reduce, the Coral Reefs will start dying at rapid rates. This and more earth processes would start with the rising of the world's temperature.

The diagram below shows an undisturbed rock. A rock sample is shown with four layers marked A, B, C, D from top to bottom. Which
UNO [17]

Answer:

Layer D

Explanation:

The rock layer with remains of organisms least similar to present day form can be found in Layer D.

Since layer D is the oldest layer, it will contain the oldest fossil in the undisturbed sequence.

This is because of the principle of fossils and fauna succession.

The principle states that "fossils and fauna succeed on another in a definite order".

  • Therefore, the oldest rock layer should contain the oldest fossil which is layer D.
  • Layer A is the youngest layer and its fossils will be very similar to those of present day.
  • So, the older a rock layer, the more farther it will be in resemblance to present day organisms.

Option D which denotes layer D is the right choice.
