  • Which of the following is NOT a consequence of thermal inversion?
    Formation of smog in cities.
    Increased health risks in urban areas
    Reduction of respiratory problems in the population.
    Increased air pollution.
  • What natural conditions contribute to thermal inversion?
    Ocean currents and tides.
    Topography and specific weather conditions.
    Heavy rain and flooding.
    Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
  • What is acid rain?
    A purely natural phenomenon that does not affect living bei
    Rain that only happens in volcanic regions
    Precipitation formed by the combination of pollutant gases
    Rain that contains large amounts of sand and dust
  • How can the chemicals that cause acid rain travel to distant places?
    Through rivers and lakes.
    Through underground water.
    Through the movement of animals.
    Through air currents.
  • 10. Which option correctly describes the normal temperature pattern in the atmosphere (without thermal inversion)?
    Temperature increases as you go higher.
    Temperature is higher near the mountains than in the valleys
    Temperature decreases as you go higher.
    Temperature stays the same at all levels.
  • What are the main human activities that contribute to acid rain?
    Agriculture and fishing.
    Solar panel production and wind farms.
    Deforestation and plastic production.
    Fossil fuel burning, power plants, transportation, and oil
  • What happens during a thermal inversion?
    Hot air stays above cold air, stop pollution from dissipatin
    Cold air rises quickly, clearing the atmosphere.
    Hot air gets trapped below cold air, causing strong winds.
    Temperatures become the same at all altitudes.
  • Besides human activities, which natural phenomenon can cause acid rain?
    Heat waves
    Deforestation
    Soil erosion
    Volcanic eruptions
  • What is one environmental effect of acid rain on lakes?
    Lakes become acidic, affecting wildlife
    Lakes become larger.
    Lakes become warmer.
    Lakes dry up completely.
  • Why does air pollution increase during thermal inversion?
    Because the layer of hot air traps pollutants - ground
    Because the cold air rises faster than the hot air.
    Because air becomes heavier.
    Because the wind carries pollution from other cities.
