Answer:

A secondary pollutant

Explanation:

Pollutants can broadly be classified into two main categories based on their formation or synthesis. 1: Primary pollutants, 2: Secondary pollutants.

1: Primary pollutants

Primary pollutant can be considered as any environmental pollutant that is being directly emitted from a certain source like when we burn coal carbon di oxide is directly emitted into the atmosphere so CO2 is a primary pollutant.

Similarly sulfur di oxide or SO2 is also a primary pollutant that is emitted by the gas emissions of motor vehicles.

2: Secondary pollutants:

On the other hand, secondary pollutant is something that is not directly emitted on earth as an environmental pollutant but some how it is formed due to a reaction of primary pollutant.

Such as mentioned in the question that SO2 when oxidized in air in the presence of enzymes and water, it form H2SO4 or acid rain which directly falls on earth and incurs great amount of damage to not only living organisms but also non-living organisms such as marble buildings.

Therefore, acid rain is secondary pollutant. Please see picture for better understanding.

Hope it help!

Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes? Explain how earthquakes can be created by plate tectonics
ser-zykov [4K]
1. Divergent Plate Boundaries or Constructive Plate Boundaries. This is where two plates separate. Ridges are created when mantle convection rises up beneath it, with extreme heat, the crust will thin, and the igneous material beneath will eventually. 

<span>2. Divergent, or destructive plate margins cause volcanoes. As the more dense plate subducts, it will melt at depth and the water driven off, will lower the melting point of the overlying mantle wedge, this will create a type of magma. Volcanic Island Arcs are formed at oceanic-oceanic destructive plate margins. The hot, bouyant magma, is less dense that the surrounding rock, so will rise to the surface, and will collect beneath the plate that hasn't been subducted. It will then, under increased pressure erupt under the sea. Over thousands to millions of years, it will keep erupting, to form islands. </span>

<span>3. Earthquakes are mainly caused at Transform boundaries and Divergent boundaries. At transform boundaries, two plates sliding past eachother, and the build up of friction could lead to earthquakes, if enough stress is built up and then suddenly released, then the energy is released as seismic waves or an earthquake. At divergent boundaries, earthquakes happen along the Benioff zone which is the slope of the subducting plate that is slowly being dragged into the mantle by mantle convection and slab pull. </span>

<span>4. Divergent boundaries cause orogenisis (mountain building). But only the continental-continental margin where two continental plates are colliding. Because they are the same density, they don't subduct, but they buckle, compress and uplift to form mountains. Just like the himilayas, when the Indian plate collided with the eurasian plate.</span>

A standard PCR cycle includes three steps: denaturation (95°C), annealing (55°C), and elongation (65°C).
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Denaturation process: The DNA template  

Annealing process: Primers  

Elongation process: dNTPs and Taq polymerase

Explanation:

For the denaturing process, the only ingredient that is required is the DNA template that will be separated from a double helix (or double strand) into a single strand, by increasing the temperature to 95 C, (at this temperature the hydrogen bonds that keep together the double stranded break). After the double strand is denatured, the following process is annealing. For this, the required ingredient are the primers; these primers will hybridize or anneal according to the nucleotide complementarity to the single strand of the DNA. Finally, for the Elongation process, you will require the Taq polymerase and the dNTPs. The enzyme will synthesize or “generate” a new strand of DNA based on the DNA template, using the provided dNTPs in the direction 5’ to 3’.

I hope this clarify you inquiry.
