Option c I hope it helps:) this came for me too
Answer:
1. D. Evaporation
2. A. A closed lake has no outlet stream.
3. C. The angle of the slope
4. C. Granite
Explanation:
1. The process through which water changes its state from liquid to gaseous is known as evaporation. A source of energy is required for this process to occur, energy that is provided by solar heat in this case. The opposite process in which water changes state from gas to liquid, is known as condensation. Precipitation is the process in which the condensed water reaches the Earth’s surface under the force of gravity. During infiltration, water on the ground surface enters the soil.
2. A closed lake is defined by the lack of any outflow. Thus, any water that does not evaporate, will remain in this type of lake indefinitely.
3. The only criterion not used to describe a mass movement event is the angle of the slope. For such an event, the type of motion is the most important characteristic together with the physical characteristics of the material.
4. Granite is a highly consolidated material and thus it has a very high integrity. The other materials listed have inferior characteristics.
5. Soil erosion is a displacement process that occurs naturally though the action of water and wind. On a steep slope, no soil formation occurs, because, due to gravity, all the eroded material will be transported to another location. Thus, at the slope’s location, no soil formation occurs.
Answer;
Low birth weight.
One of the most consistent and best documented effects of cigarette smoking during pregnancy is low birth weight.
Explanation;
Smoking during pregnancy has various effects on the fetus, causing a baby to be born early or to have low birth weight which makes it more likely for the baby to get sick and stay in the hospital longer.
Additionally; smoking during and after pregnancy is a risk factor of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Temperature inversion or thermal inversion is a phenomenon during which the temperature increase when there is an increase in the altitude. It is an uncommon process that happens in the troposphere-the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth.
When there is an increase in temperature with altitude that warm air acts as a blockage for the cool air near the surface of the earth. So this is just opposite to the normal behavior of the air, where it becomes cooler with an increase in altitude.
So how air circulation behaves during inversion?
So as we said that the cool air nearer to the earth will be blocked by a layer of warm air. This blockage will hinder the circulation of air upwards from the lower layers. Let’s see how:
• As we know that, warm air is less dense and more buyout than cool air and normally less dense warm air is close to the earth and cool air is in above layers. But when the process is reversed, this warm air acts like a blanket for the proper circulation of air. Due to this, many environmental pollutants which normally leave the earth during air circulation get trapped in our air.
• The trapped environmental pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons get convert into harmful ozone that ultimately deteriorates the quality of air and causes problems like smog.
• The improper air circulation also causes suspension of the harmful gases near the earth instead of allowing them to leave the earth atmosphere. This ultimately causes air pollution.
• When smoke will not rise, carbon dioxide will be build up in the atmosphere; this will cause greenhouse effect and global warming.
Therefore, air circulation behaves very different during temperature inversion process and poses hazardous effects on global climate.
Hope it helps! :)
