Answer:
Acid rain refers to the rain which acidic in nature having a form of precipitation and elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). The normal pH of rain is around 5.6
Rising concentration of Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in atmosphere is one of the cause of acid rain. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are released by vehicles, fossil-fuel power plants and oil refineries.
When a sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released in air they mix with oxygen, water and other chemicals in the air and form sulfuric and nitric acids. sulfuric and nitric acids mix with precipitation and its pH level is about 5.2 or below.
Hence, rising concentration of SO2 And NO2x is one of the biggest reason of acid which damages agriculture, buildings and wildlife et-cetra.
D. Mitosis and Cytokinesis
Answer:
The correct answer is "a hypertonic solution".
Explanation:
Seawater is the most clear example of a hypertonic solution in nature. The concentration of ions in seawater are far more superior than the concentration of ions inside a plant or an animal cell, since seawater have an osmolarity of about 1000 mOsm/l. Therefore, at high tide a plant or animal cell will be in a hypertonic solution, and the cells must have adaptions to avoid cell shrinking and dead.
1. Evaporation is the escape of water molecules from their liquid phase to gas phase that go up into the atmosphere. Evaporation can occur anywhere where open liquid water is exposed to sunlight or any other source of energy. Transpiration, on the other hand, is the loss of water (by evaporation) from plants through the stomata. Evaporation and transpiration move water from the biosphere to the atmosphere.
2. Condensation is the return of water molecules from gaseous phase (vapor) back to liquid form. Precipitation, on the other hand, is the coming down of condensed water from the atmosphere to the earth (biosphere), which is a significant part of the water cycle.
3. Exchange pool is the pool from (or approximate amount) which water or other elements are shared (back and forth) between different spheres (such as biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) in a cycle. A reservoir on the other hand is analogous to a ‘container’ that holds large masses of water or other elements such as a lake and the atmosphere.
4. The answer is No. because, today’s waters, due to increased pollution from industrialization that spews a lot of pullutans into the atmphere, ae contamiated. The water that precipitates is tainted by gases such as sulphuric dioxide tha makes it acidic. The water also gets polluted by other pollutants in the atmpshre and biosphere and hence become a health risk to animals and humans that drink it.
