The release of greenhouse gases damages the ozone layer, (the layer protecting us from the suns rays) exposing the planet to the suns harmful radiation rays, increasing the temperature by a small amount each year
Answer:
Option (D)
Explanation:
Historical geology usually refers to the study of the changes and the variation that occurs at or below the surface of the earth. In simple words, it mainly involves the study of past events. This includes the variation and evolution of different life forms that existed on earth over a time of about 3.8 billion years until the present. It basically comprises the important part of geology namely Paleoclimatology, Paleontology and Paleoseismology. This historical geology is also known as Paleogeology.
Thus, historical geology involves the biological changes that occur over a definite time.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
The Gobi desert is cold and dry. There is nothing really there. The people living there are mainly nomadic.
Answer:
At the boundary with the core.
Explanation:
The mantle is the second layer from the top. It is bordered by the lithosphere above it, or rather by the crust, and by the outer core below it. The mantle is a layer which is in viscous state, being mostly consisted of molten metals and rocks. The temperature of this layer is not the same all throughout it, but it varies a lot. The temperature at its top part is around 200 C degrees, while the temperature at its bottom is around 4,000 C degrees. There's two reasons for this. One is that the core is very hot, so it makes the bottom part of the mantle very hot as well, and the other one is that the lithosphere is much cooler, as well as constantly getting new, cold, crust in it, which makes its top part much cooler. The mantle is the layer responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates on the surface, as it is the layer where the convection currents occur and drive the plates' movement.
