Answer:

Non renewable resources such as coal, oil and natural gas contribute to air pollution, water pollution and global warming.

Explanation:

<em>Non-renewable energy sources are the energy sources that do not naturally replenish themselves. At some points in the nearest future, their sources would be become depleted.</em>

Non-renewable energy sources such as coal, crude oil and natural gas contribute to the pollution of the environment in varying degrees. They require burning and this process leads to the release of gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen,methane, water vapor, etc.

The released gases often posses different threats to organisms in the environment at certain level, constituting what is known as environmental pollution. Some of them dissolve in rain water to cause acid rain, some are directly poisonous when inhaled by living organisms, while a host of the pollutants absorb radiation from the sun and cause the warming of the planet, a phenomenon known as global warming.

Crude oil spillage or that of the any of its derivatives cause various environmental problems. They are poisonous to aquatic lives and render water useless for humans.

During _______________, the excitement peaks as breathing, pulse, and blood pressure rates continue to increase. the plateau pha
SashulF [63]
I believe the answer is the Plateau phase of the sexual response cycle. The sexual response cycle has four stages of sexual responding described by Maters and Johnson; that is the excitement, plateau, orgasm, resolution phases. During the excitement phase, the genital areas become engorged with blood. During the orgasm phase, there are muscle contractions all over the body, further increasing breathing, pulse and blood pressure rates; and during resolution phase the body gradually returns to its unaroused state as the engorged genital blood vessels release accumulated blood.
