The correct answer is - D. It was the first officially recognized case of the industrial pollution of seawater.

The Minamata disaster, or more often referred to as Minamata disease, was discovered in Japan, in the city if Minamata, in the year of 1956. It was practically a heavy pollution of the seawater caused by the Chisso factory, which was releasing methylmercury through its wastewater. The people, through eating sea food were getting diseased and very dying, and the same happened to the animals as well. The pollution was extending over a period of 36 years, from 1932 to 1968 until it was finally stopped.

Well I’m no meteorologist, but it seems to me the closer you get to the equator the denser the air mass becomes. The farther away it gets from the equator, it obviously gets less dense. I do notice though that the purple are is Greenland, northern Russia and Northern America. Which leads me to believe that it’s more mountain land and it’s density is compared to that of cooler air.
