Answer:
When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.
Explanation:
You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.
Your answer would be... B. The climate on Earth has changed over time.
Answer:
The coastal upwelling and changes in wind and water circulation patterns is the main natural cause of dead zones.
Fertilizers cause hypoxia due to the over growth of algae on the surface of water bodies.
Explanation:
Coastal upwelling is the cause of dead zones in which water that is present in depth comes to the surface of ocean due to the movement of water because of wind. Fertilizers cause hypoxia due to the over growth of algae on the surface of water bodies. The fertilizers increases the algal growth by providing nutrients necessary for its growth. This over growth decreases oxygen concentration in water and affect marine organisms.
