Answer:

10 Human climate drivers include heat-trapping emissions from burning coal, gas and oil in power plants and cars; cutting down and burning forests; tiny pollution particles (aerosols); black carbon pollution more commonly referred to as soot; and changes in land use that also affects Earth's albedo

11 The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. ... The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.

12 Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions.

13 At every stage, food provisioning releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Farming in particular releases significant amounts of methane and nitrous oxide, two powerful greenhouse gases. ... Agriculture accounted for 10% of the EU's total greenhouse-gas emissions in 2012.

14 Cement manufacture contributes greenhouse gases both directly through the production of carbon dioxide when calcium carbonate is thermally decomposed, producing lime and carbon dioxide, and also through the use of energy, particularly from the combustion of fossil fuels.

15 When forests are destroyed by activities such as logging and land conversion for agriculture, they release large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which can increase temperatures.

Hope this helps and God bless <3

The apparent brightness of a star remains constant at most time, except that at precise intervals of 173 hours, the star becomes
natulia [17]

Answer:

The most likely explanation is that the star is a member of an eclipsing binary star system.

Explanation:

An eclipsing binary star system takes place when two stars which are close to each other move in an orbit in which sometimes, one star can hide the light behind the other.

There are two types of eclipses depending on the orientation of the orbit and the size of the stars: the totals or the annular ones. It may also be the case that the eclipses are partial.

<em>Algol </em>is the best known eclipsing binary star, and the first of this kind to be discovered. Its interval between eclipses is 173 hours (2.9 days).

When this type of eclipses happens, the brightest star provides 92% of the light of the system, while the eclipsed only contributes less than 8%, and there is a third star, which is not eclipsed.

Therefore, if there is any star that has been bright most of the time, and during certain time intervals it becomes dimmer, that star is being overshadowed.
