6.5°c per kilometers
Explanation:
The lapse rate usually regarded as the environmental, variable lapse is usually affected by radiation, convection and condensation,it is 6.5°c per kilometers
Answer: Plastic Pollution
In 1950, the world produced more than 2 million tons of plastic per year. By 2015, this annual production swelled to 419 million tons and exacerbating plastic waste in the environment.
A report by science journal, Nature, determined that currently, roughly 11 million tons of plastic make its way into the oceans every year, harming wildlife habitats and the animals that live in them. The research found that if no action is taken, the plastic crisis will grow to 29 million metric tons per year by 2040. If we include microplastics into this, the cumulative amount of plastic in the ocean could reach 600 million tons by 2040.
Shockingly, National Geographic found that 91% of all plastic that has ever been made is not recycled, representing not only one of the biggest environmental problems of our lifetime, but another massive market failure. Considering that plastic takes 400 years to decompose, it will be many generations until it ceases to exist. There’s no telling what the irreversible effects of plastic pollution will have on the environment in the long run.
Question Continuation
1. Mercury goes through a full cycle of phases
2. Moon rises in east, sets in west each day
3. Stars circle daily around north or south celestial pole
Answer:
The true statements are are (2) and (3)
2. Moon rises in east, sets in west each day.
From all part of the earth, we can see and observe the moon only that the stars move in parallel to the horizon in the north pole.
3. Stars circle daily around north or south celestial pole.
The relative position of starts are always altered because of the earth's rotation
While (1) does not really occur as seen from Earth
1. Mercury goes through a full cycle of phases
We can see the mercury from the Earth but in its whole form not in its phases.
Mount McKinley is the tallest US mountain and Mount Everest is the tallest southwest asian mountain, therefore the tallest mountains in southwest asia are taller than the tallest mountains in the US
