Answer: Plastic Pollution

In 1950, the world produced more than 2 million tons of plastic per year. By 2015, this annual production swelled to 419 million tons and exacerbating plastic waste in the environment.

A report by science journal, Nature, determined that currently, roughly 11 million tons of plastic make its way into the oceans every year, harming wildlife habitats and the animals that live in them. The research found that if no action is taken, the plastic crisis will grow to 29 million metric tons per year by 2040. If we include microplastics into this, the cumulative amount of plastic in the ocean could reach 600 million tons by 2040.

Shockingly, National Geographic found that 91% of all plastic that has ever been made is not recycled, representing not only one of the biggest environmental problems of our lifetime, but another massive market failure. Considering that plastic takes 400 years to decompose, it will be many generations until it ceases to exist. There’s no telling what the irreversible effects of plastic pollution will have on the environment in the long run.

Mr. Goldsmith described the eruption of Mt. Mayon in the Philippines. He discussed great explosions very high into the air of bo

kirill [66]

The correct answer is A composite volcano, rhyolitic magma, and plinian explosion

 What composite means is that there was a lot of lava around it that cooled and overtime the more lava there was the more it layered around and created the comoposite volcano. That is because there's a lot of lava at its eruption. The violent explosion is plinian because it goes high into the air with a lot of smoke and matter in it.

14) What is the Coriolis force and what impact does it have on wind?

Katen [24]

Explanation:

Coriolis force -

It helps to determine the turn of the wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere due to the rotation of the Earth .

This effect does not impact the speed of the wind , it only affect the direction of the wind .

The impact of the Coriolis force of the wind direction is as follows -

From the north pole , the earth rotates at higher speed in the counter - clockwise direction , then the object will appear to deflect to the right of its intended path , due to the Earth's rotation .
