Answer: D. Atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Atmospheric carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere in high amounts due to human activities like burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, forest fire. Volcanic eruption, a natural hazard can lead to liberation of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere has a diatomic structure which absorbs the heat energy from sun instead of reflecting the sunlight. Hence, is responsible for raising the temperature worldwide causing global warming.

Owl butterflies feed on mostly fruit, and owls feed on small animals. The images show an owl butterfly and an owl. How does the
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The adaptation in owl butterfly helps it to camouflage and also protects it from predators. Adaptations allow organisms to be better suited to their environment. So the answer is both 'A' and 'B' .

Explanation:

Owl butterfly use the concept of mimicry. It is a form of <em>adaptation</em> in which they fool the predator in thinking that they are owls and not butterflies. These butterflies have eyespots under their wings. By flashing them they look like the <em>eyes </em>of an owl.

Since owls feed on small animals, and small animals feed on butterflies, the owl butterflies protect themselves from predators. The small animals thinking that the butterfly is an owl, run away instead of coming closer. This way these small insects camouflage and protect themselves.

Why do you suppose the united states still uses the english system for everyday measurements while almost every other country us
Alchen [17]
Answer:
Because the English measurement system has been in use for a very long time, it will be costly and time consuming to change from the English to SI units. Many technological measurements, products, and tools were developed in English units.

The cost of converting all measurements to SI units will be costly and will require a long period of time. Conversions between the English and the SI system of units appear to be more cost-effective than hardware changes.

Example:
It will be costly to convert designs for bridges, tunnels, locomotives, automobiles, and other hardware to the SI system. Although new designs are being performed in SI units, much useful hardware based on English units still remain.

Eventually, it is likely that complete conversion from English to SI units will happen, albeit slowly.
