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