Answer:

Point source pollution

Explanation:

All industries and farms which release pollution at their own place comes under the category of point source pollution.

A point source pollution is basically immobile and is released by a single source. While a non point source of pollution diffuses from different directions such as storm water run off drainage, Land runoff , precipitation etc.

Thus, water pollution from pulp and paper mills harms plants, animals, and humans. this is an example of point source pollution

8. One of the lowest layers of Earth's atmosphere has undergone a large increase in temperature
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere that has undergone a large increase in temperature due to the  presence of greenhouse gases.

Explanation:

Troposphere (0 to 12 km) where we live is the lowest layer of earth's atmosphere, which is closest to the earth's surface contains half of the atmosphere. Here most clouds are found and almost all weather occurs. Atmosphere contains approximately 78% of nitrogen , 21% of oxygen and 0.9% of argon. Gases like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane, ozone and the water vapor constitutes the rest of the atmosphere. Many small particles called aerosols are also there which include dust, spores, pollen, volcanic ash, smoke etc.The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that keeps the temperature on the earth suitable for supporting life. The greenhouse gases includes both natural and man-made gases like carbon dioxide , methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, ozone, water vapour. They absorb radiation in the atmosphere and create the green house effect. The thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere is absorbed by greenhouse gases. They trap heat within the surface-troposphere system preventing it from escaping back into space. This is called the greenhouse effect, which increases the temperature of the lower atmosphere.The increase in the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human activity has caused an increase in the natural greenhouse effect. As a result, the atmosphere is trapping too much heat which increases the temperature of the Earth.

You have conducted an experiment using litterbags to assess the effect of lignin content on leaf decomposition rate. You selecte
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Explanation:

Lignin is a major, one of the most slowly decomposing components of dead vegetation, including leaf litters. The lignin content has been found to have a high correlation with litter decomposition.

<em>Hence, at the end of the experiment, the litter bag containing leaf litters with higher lignin contents will be expected to weigh more than those with lower lignin contents.</em>

The correct option is B.
