1 answer:

5 0

In most cases, as altitude increases, the air in the troposphere cools. Vertical mixing occurs as a result of warm air rising. However, a layer of cool air may form beneath a layer of warm air on occasion. Temperature/thermal inversion refers to this deviation from normal temperature.
When an inversion occurs, polluted areas (such as London and Donora PA) experience unhealthy air and an increase in smog because pollutants are trapped at ground level rather than circulating away.

1. archipelago plants or animals that can be found in only one place

ladessa [460]

Plants or animals that can be found in only one place are endemic to this region. This means that they are native or prevalent in this area. For example, the Komodo dragon is a lizard found only in some Indonesian islands.
A sea invertebrate that helps to create coral is a polyp. They usually have a long, hollow body ending with a round mouth surrounded by little tentacles. Sea anemones are a type of polyp.
An island formed from coral is an atoll. They consist of a reef creating a circle around a lagoon. One of the most famous ones is the Bikini atoll in the Pacific Ocean.
A group or chain of islands is an archipelago. Some cities are countries are made out of several scattered islands, like Stockholm (Sweden) or Japan.
People groups that are native to a region are indigenous to this region. For example, the Māori people are the indigenous Polynesian population of New Zealand.
