What is the common component of air pollution?

Biology
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
7 0

The common component of air pollution is particulate matter (PM). This is a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets.

 The major components of PM are sulphates, nitrates, ammonia, sodium chloride, black carbon, dust particles and water. PM comes from dust , soot, smoke, industry and vehicle exhaust as well as complex chemical reactions with other pollutants.

 Burning of fossil fuels produces sulphur dioxide . It is a colorless gas that pollutes the air and can cause health problems affecting the respiratory system.

Explain what happens to species with lower resilience as compared to species with higher levels
Reika [66]

Answer

Species with lower resilience have less chance to survive.

Explanation

The resilience rate means to recover after destruction. The species having a higher rate of resilience recover fast when undergoing any damage hence have higher chance to survive. The species with lower resilience rate can collapse as a result of any damage to species by any internal factor such as disease or external factors such as food or climate change.

Consider two objects whose masses are 100 g and 200 g. The 100 g object strikes the 200 g object with a force of 500 N. Accordin
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Mass of first objects, m₁= 100 g = 0.1 kg  

Mass of second object, m₂ = 200 g = 0.2 kg  

Velocity of m₁ before collision, v₁= 2 m/s  

Velocity of m₂ before collision, v₂ = 1 m/s  

Velocity of m₁ after collision, v₃ = 1.67 m/s  

Velocity of m₂ after collision = v₄

According to the law of conservation of momentum:  

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision  

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₃+ m₂v₄

⇒ 0.1 * 2 + 0.2 * 1 = 0.1 * 1.67 + 0.2 * v₄  

⇒ 0.4 = 0.67 + 0.2 * v₄

Part A: Research a Forest
Andrews [41]

Answer: I chose rainforest

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Mean temperatures in tropical rainforest regions are between 20 and 29 °C (68 and 84 °F), and in no month is the mean temperature below 18 °C (64 °F). The main animals are monkeys, Blue Morpho Butterfly, Okapi, Three-Toed Sloth, Jaguar, Capybara, Toucan, and Poison Dart Frog. The main plants are ferns, lichens, mosses, orchids, bromeliads, and of course many types of trees. including the rubber tree. Deforestation is a particular concern in tropical rain forests because these forests are home to much of the world's biodiversity. For example, in the Amazon around 17% of the forest has been lost in the last 50 years, mostly due to forest conversion for cattle ranching. The main cause of deforestation is agriculture (poorly planned infrastructure is emerging as a big threat too) and the main cause of forest degradation is illegal logging.
