Answer:

The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are reduced

Explanation:

Tectonic uplift refers to the process by which the surface of the earth slowly rises either due to increasing upward force applied from the plates below the surface or decreasing downward force or weight of objects like melting glaciers acting from above. During uplift, land, as well as the sea floor rises forming mountains, plateaus and volcanic Islands.

During the process of weathering, carbon dioxide present in air combines with rainwater and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rainwater then falls on uplifted mountains and rocks weathering them in the process. Minerals present in the rock such as calcium, magnesium and sodium then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate which are found in shells of living and dead organisms and also form rocks such as limestone. In this way, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.

serious [3.7K]
The question is incomplete. Complete question is:
Which list represents the classification of the elements nitrogen, neon, magnesium, and silicon, respectively?
(1) metal, metalloid, nonmetal, noble gas
(2) nonmetal, noble gas, metal, metalloid
(3) nonmetal, metalloid, noble gas, metal
(4) noble gas, metal, metalloid, nonmetal
.................................................................................................................

Answer: The correct answer is option 2) nonmetal, noble gas, metal, metalloid

Reason: 
1) Non-metal are bad conductors of electricity. Also non-metal are electronegative in nature. Hence, among the provided elements, nitrogen satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a non-metal.

2) Noble gas are the elements which have completely filled outermost shell. Hence, among the provided elements, Neon satisfied the criteria.

3) Metal are good conductors of electricity. Also metal are electropositive in nature. Hence, among the provided elements, magnesium satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a metal.

4) Metalloid have conductivity better than non-metals but poor than conductors. Hence, among the provided elements, Silicon satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a metalloid.

Demand decreases and competition increases are factors that cause a shift in the quantity supplied (true or false)
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer is: true.

Demand decreases and competition increases decrease the quantity supplied.

Quantity supplied is the quantity of a commodity that producers are willing to sell at a particular price at a particular point of time.

Quantity demanded is the quantity of a commodity that people are willing to buy at a particular price at a particular point of time.

Quantity demanded can change at the same price depending upon factors like recession, changes in the taste of the consumer.

Competition is rivalry between two or more economic groups.
