Ozone is formed by the reaction of of nitrous oxides and reactive organic substance catalyzed by sunlight. This is a photochemical reaction provided with ozone forming compounds and sunlight.


Acid rain is defined as nitrous(NO2) and sulfurous (SO2) compounds enter the atmosphere as smog thereby precipitating as acid rain. This is detrimental in the environment as well as in agriculture. 


Global warming is precipitated by the burning of fossil fuels that increases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat, in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the main principle behind global warming.


Ocean acidification is when excessive carbon dioxide is dissolved in the oceans as carbonic acid thereby increasing the pH of the ocean. Increases in the pH of the ocean can affect the living conditions as well as industrial conditions near it.


Groundwater pollution is defined as contaminating the groundwater with the runoff from industrial agriculture including organic and inorganic wastes as well as infectious and nuclear wastes. 


Algae blooms or algal blooms are precipitated by eutrophication or the increase in nutrients in water such as nitrogenous compounds and phosphorus from fertilizers. Eutrophication of water precipitates the abnormally high growth rate of algae.


Ozone layer destruction is associated with CFCs such as Freon and aerosols as these compounds neutralize and destroy ozone. These compounds form free radicals that convert ozone (O3) to oxygen (O2) thereby reducing its capability to protect the earth from UV radiation.


Deforestation is primarily caused by urbanization (cutting down trees to provide empty land in building structures) and industrial farming (converting forests into agricultural lands for farming).

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Plasmolysis

Explanation:

In the image 1 the cell is having sufficient quantity of water leading to a turgid cell.

The image 1 plant cell is in a dilute solution in which water enters into cell from external medium.

The image 2 plant cell is exposed to a solution which is high concentrated solution.

Due to this high concentrated  solution the water present in  the cell is send out by exosmosis.

Due to loss of water from plant cells the protoplasm in plant cell shrinks in which cell membrane gets separated from  cell wall.

This shrinkage of protoplasm by loss of water is called plasmolysis.

A wave is traveling with a speed of 5m/s for 7 seconds. How far has the wave travelled?
Kay [80]

Answer:

As the wave moves to and fro so the total distance will be d=2x5=10 m

we have

time (t) = 5 s

hence velocity will be =2 m/s
