Ozone layer depletion was not noticed until 1979, while CFC’s have been around since 1920s because CFCs take time to enter the stratosphere and remain there for at least 60 years after their initial release.

Option: A

Explanation:

Ozone layer is found in stratosphere. Ozone plays a dual role in the environment. When it is in the ground surface zone it is a harmful gas but when its in the atmosphere it is a life saving layer which absorbs UV rays and protect human beings and animals from the harmful affect of poisonous gases.

Though ozone layer started depleting from 1920. But it came into notice from 1979 as CFCs take time to enter the stratosphere and remain there for at least 60 years after their initial release.

If global climate change results in an area of temperate grassland receiving less rainfall and higher temperatures, it will ____
Vinvika [58]

If global climate change causes a temperate grassland region to get less rainfall and higher temperatures, it will start to support more desert species.

Global climate change refers to long-term average changes over the whole planet. These include rising temperatures and precipitation changes, as well as the repercussions of global warming, such as: Sea levels are rising. Mountain glaciers are receding.

Climate change will most certainly impact the makeup of grassland communities, but complex interactions make forecasts difficult.

Extreme weather events can cause a swift and severe reaction, affecting both ecosystems and human groups . Droughts, floods, fires, and hurricanes are anticipated to have a greater impact on grassland ecosystems in the United States. Drought worsens soil erosion and depletes aquifers. Increased precipitation variability favors more frequent fires, that can minimize the encroachment of woody plants into grasslands.

Therefore, the blank will be filled by begin to support more desert species.
