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.

How did humans and animals adapt/survive to hurricane Katrina? AND Give examples of organisms that could not adapt/survive? PLS
guajiro [1.7K]
Some organisms that could not survive where cats, dogs, birds, horses, fish, cows, every animal that was in hurricane Katrina was affected by it. Some of these animals were able to survive and others were rescued from near death.
Most of the animals could not adapt to this change because they are not used to this type of change. The water was too strong for the fish and when the water brought the fish into any water/sea animal there was also medal because the water in through peoples houses (pretty much the man-made stuff that's not meant for sea is killing the animals in the water). 
Any animal that was left behind was affected. The animals could not adapt to this change they have never experienced something that tragic before, how they survived? Well, the animals that survived was mainly because of there natural instinct, before an earthquake or anything hits there are many animals that can sense the storm coming before it even hits and in this situation, the animal could, wake up, run to owner, flee, run to higher ground, and if they cant sense it. They see whats going on around them and then they know something is wrong.
