Answer:

Pollutants are responsible for creating an imbalance of the substances that leads to a negative impact in a particular part of the earth like air, water, soil, noise, and more.

Primary pollutants are the pollutants that are directly generated from their sources such as activities by humans like air and water pollutants from the car, from ships, that affects the organs of humans like lungs, eyes, stomach and reduces our immune system and our life. Indirectly affect us. In the environment, they increase toxic substances in high amounts that cause various negative impacts.

Secondary pollutants form due to the reacting of primary pollutants and natural resources. Acid rain is an example of the secondary pollutant result which is formed due to dissolved sulphuric acid in rainwater. It also affects the skin of humans and affects the environment by increasing acidity to soil and water.

What is the value of X6? <br><br> Show the solution.
wariber [46]

Answer : The value of x_6 is \sqrt{7}.

Explanation :

As we are given 6 right angled triangle in the given figure.

First we have to calculate the value of x_1.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 1 :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(x_1)^2=(1)^2+(1)^2

x_1=\sqrt{(1)^2+(1)^2}

x_1=\sqrt{2}

Now we have to calculate the value of x_2.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 2 :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(x_2)^2=(1)^2+(X_1)^2

(x_2)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{2})^2

x_2=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{2})^2}

x_2=\sqrt{3}

Now we have to calculate the value of x_3.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 3 :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(x_3)^2=(1)^2+(X_2)^2

(x_3)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2

x_3=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2}

x_3=\sqrt{4}

Now we have to calculate the value of x_4.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 4 :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(x_4)^2=(1)^2+(X_3)^2

(x_4)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{4})^2

x_4=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{4})^2}

x_4=\sqrt{5}

Now we have to calculate the value of x_5.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 5 :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(x_5)^2=(1)^2+(X_4)^2

(x_5)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{5})^2

x_5=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{5})^2}

x_5=\sqrt{6}

Now we have to calculate the value of x_6.

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 6 :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2

(x_6)^2=(1)^2+(X_5)^2

(x_6)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{6})^2

x_6=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{6})^2}

x_6=\sqrt{7}

Therefore, the value of x_6 is \sqrt{7}.

Global climate change is most likely the result of _____. Environmental Issues: Select the best answer from the choices provided
klasskru [66]

\Large{\underline{\boxed{\mathfrak \pink{Question:-}}}}

Global climate change is most likely the result of _______. Environmental issues: Select the best answer from the choices provided.

A. Increased carbon dioxide in the air.

B. Diminishing natural resources.

C. Decreased Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

D. Biodiversity.

\Large{\underline{\boxed{\mathfrak \pink{Answer:-}}}}

\normalsize\star\textsf{Correct \: Option:-}

\qquad\bullet Option"A" is correct: Increase in Carbon dioxide in Air.

\normalsize\star\textsf{Related \: Questions:-}

a.) <u>How</u><u> </u><u>global climate change is related to the increase of carbon dioxide </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>Air</u><u> </u><u>?</u>

\qquad\bullet The Increase of Carbon dioxide in Air results in increase of Global warming(Green house effect).

\qquad\bullet Green house effect : A building mostly made of glass for growing or shelter in the delicate plant is called greenhouse. the glass walls of greenhouse allows sun rays to pass through the interior.However, reflected back infrared rays are not allowed to escape through the glass walls. Carbon dioxide gas and water vapours present inside the glass house further trap the heat and make the greenhouse warmer than the outside air.

\qquad\bulletThe atmosphere cover around the earth ,acts similar to the glass walls of greenhouse. the air cover solar radiation to pass through it to the Earth’s surface, and prevent the long wave infrared radiation to escape into the space.Gases such as Carbondioxide,Nitrogen oxide,CFCs,ozone are the Greenhouse gases and among all of them "Carbon dioxide" is the most important gas.These greenhouse gases trap the heat reflected by the earth.

\qquad\bullet The heating up of the atmosphere leads to an increase in Earth's temperature.This phenomenon is called " Global warming or Green house effect.

b.) <u>What</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>effects of </u><u>G</u><u>lobal warming</u><u>?</u>

\qquad\bullet Increase in earth temperature will cause a change in weather and precipitation patterns on the earth.

\qquad\bullet As we know the fact that " An increase of less as 1°C in Earth's temperature can lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent rise in sea level".The sudden rise of sea level can submerge a number of major cities of the world which are located along the coasts.

\qquad\bullet Global warming poses a threat of recurrence of "Dust Bowl condition of 1930's".Dust Bowl is an area where vegetation has been lost and soil reduced to dust making it suspectable to erosion.

\qquad\bullet One of major danger of global warming is " Methane burp"which is caused by the melting of Methane hydrates in permafrost of polar ice caps & on the sea floor.
