Answer: UV rays reacting with the O2 molecules (Option C)  

Explanation:  

Ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created by UV light striking oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms, splitting them into individual oxygen atoms called atomic oxygen. Then atomic oxygen combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone (O3). The ozone molecule is unstable and when UV light hits ozone, they again split into the molecule of O2 and an individual atom of oxygen.

The causes of ozone depletion also include:  

Human activity such as the release of various compounds containing CFC’s is a major cause of ozone damage. CFC is the most evident and the most destructive molecule.  

Natural sources also contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer.

During large volcanic eruptions, chlorine as a component of HCL is released directly into the stratosphere, along with sulfur dioxide.

A binary number is to be transformed by appending three 0s to the end of the number. For example, 11101 is transformed to 111010
nata0808 [166]

Numbers can be converted from one base to another base. a. The transformed number is 8 times the value of the original number.

Given that:

Three 0s are appended to a binary digit to get a new binary digit.

Using the given values, the transformation can be illustrated as follows:

Where:

represents the three appended 0s.

In binary  represents 8 in decimal.

So, the above illustration can be expressed as:

This means that the new or transformed number is 8 times the original number.

Look at the graph below, which shows the population of the United States from 1790 to 1910. A graph titled U S Population Growth
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The population of the colonies that later became the United States increased steadily in the decades prior to , and including, the American revolution. The first decennial census took place in 1790 . Since that time, the natural increase, i.e, the excess of births over deaths, has been  a constant contributor to popular growth. The other factor, immigration, has ranged for negligible to large at various points in the nation's history.

After 1830, immigration began to grow again. Although the birth rate showed a decline , the net population growth rate remained high until after the Civil War. In the decade ending 1870,  population growth dropped below 30% for the first time in the nation's history. Substantial immigration kept the population rising at 20% or more for each decade until 1920, when the effect of Word War I reduced it to 14.9% .
