<u>Answer:</u>

Plastics are made of natural gas and oil.

They repel water.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Plastics usually man made i.e synthetic are basically long chain  of hydrocarbon chain of polymers  developed from petrochemicals. Since plastics are produced from polymers, polymers which are a chain of monomers are produced from crude oil, petroleum, natural gas or coal. Due to the absence of free  mobile  electrons , plastics are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Since Plastics are made up of  sticky materials like crude oil which act as poisons and repel water to get attached with plastic debris and are often harmful for the petroleum based objects in sea.

9. Which of the following is used as evidence for global warming?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

global glacier mass

Explanation:

<em>The shrink or reduction in the volume of the global glacier mass is one of the evidence of global warming.</em>

<u>By definition, global warming is the rise in global temperature associated with increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen, etc.</u>

The gases naturally form a blanket layer over the earth's atmosphere and are responsible for preventing some of the sun's reflected radiation after reaching the earth from returning back to space. They absorb some of the radiations and warms up the planet in the process.

An increase in the concentration of these gases means that more radiation is absorbed from the sun, thus causing an increase in the amount to warming the earth gets. This increase in the amount of warming is what is termed global warming.

One known consequence of the increase in global temperature as a result of global warming is the melting of glacier mass. Glaciers are prone to melting with increase in temperature and the water derived from such melting are discharged into seas and oceans, causing a rise in their levels.
