Explanation

Acid rain is mainly caused by emissions of Sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen oxide in the atmosphere.

Acid rain mainly Causes health problem like Asthma.

Explanation

The blue colour of the sky is due to the scattering of light by the atmospheric particles.

Light of shorter wavelengths scatters more than the light of longer wavelengths and

the violet colour has a shorter wavelength, but our eyes are more sensitive to blue light. Hence, the colour of a clear sky is blue.

Explanation

Atmosphere is divided into Five layers/parts:

1. Troposphere
2. Stratosphere
3. Mesosphere
4. Thermosphere
5. Exosphere

Explanation

The ozone layer protects living things from too much ultraviolet  from entering the atomsphere

Oxygen layer in the atmosphere

Ozone protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun.

Ozone formula: O3

The ozone layer lies approximately 15-40 kilometers (10-25 miles) above the Earth's surface, in the stratosphere.

The ozone layer is depleting: Air pollution

Explanation

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to lower concentration.

It is a vital process in biological systems for maintaining cell balance.

Explanation

• A habitat is the natural environment in which a living thing resides.
• Including all the living and non-living factors that affect its survival and growth.

Explanation

• The greenhouse effect is an environmental problem caused by the increasing amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.
• Primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and land-use changes.
• This excess CO2 traps heat and leads to global warming and climate change.

Explanation

Global warming began to accelerate with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, due to increased greenhouse gas emissions.

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, in about 1750,

Human activities  have increased greenhouse gas concentrations in our atmosphere. such as :

• burning fossil fuels
• including coal and oil
  

Explanation

The stratospheric ozone layer is Earth's “sunscreen”  protecting living things from too much ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Oxygen layer in the atmosphere

Ozone protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun.

Ozone formula: O3

The ozone layer lies approximately 15-40 kilometers (10-25 miles) above the Earth's surface, in the stratosphere.

The ozone layer is depleting: Air pollution

Explanation

The age of a tree is determined by counting its growth rings.

They are visible in the cross-section of the stem.

Each ring represents one year of growth.
