The 2 level portion in the graph represents the changing of state.
Every substance has internal energy, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy means the temperature, and the potential energy means the bondings or attractions.
When a substance is heated up, they first increase their temperature as the same state. For example, the ice starts at - 5 °C, they won't start melting immediately as they're not at their melting point yet. Instead, they first absorb heat and increase their temperature to 0°C. This is same for when water increase their temperature until their boiling point. Their kinetic energy is increasing, but potential energy is unchanged as they stay at the same state. That's why the slope is increasing.
However, but once the ice or water has reached their melting or boiling point, they have to go through a state change. During that time, they do not increase their temperature (K.E. unchanged) . Instead, the heat they absorbed is used to increase the potential energy to break the bonds and turn into another state. The heat absorbed is called latent heat.
This explains why in the graph, there's 2 level portions, as the substance is going through a state change and increasing their potential energy instead of their kinetic energy (temperature)
Answer:
Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.
Explanation:
So, What Happens if Pollution Continues to Increase? ... Breathing air pollution hampers the functioning of lungs among healthy people resulting in respiratory inflammation and heart problems. Living in a polluted area and breathing toxic air increases the risk of cancer. Air pollution weakens the immune system
Yes humans do have the obligations of preserving the habitats of chimpanzee as it is considered as an endangered species. Most of the human practices such as tree logging, environment pollution, exploitation of animals and others has led to many species being endangered to extinction.
