Ways to reduce water pollution

The number one way to prevent water pollution is to not dump waste materials into bodies of water. You can also clean street trash to prevent it from blowing into the waters.

Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature of all the atmosphere layers

The thermosphere is the first layer of the atmosphere where there are enough heavier molecules (oxygen) to absorb a significant anount of the Sun's radiation. Below the thermosphere, much of the heat is dissipated by convective currents.
Although technically "hot", the gas in the thermosphere is so thin that it can pass little heat to other molecules, and loss of heat by radiation would still cool objects in this part of the atmosphere.
the sun's radiation strikes it first

Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

There are several. The main ones are:

  • Photosynthesis
  • Carbonate formation
  • Dissolution of carbon dioxide into seawater
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source

Respiration :)

Which molecule is a product of photosynthesis

ATP and ADP

Sugar

What is true about black and white shirts in the summer

Is the Intertropical Convergence Zone also known as the doldrums

Question: The doldrums happen in a zone known as the what?

Answer: intertropical convergence zone

What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls

The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.

Which has the lowest albedo

A blacktop highway

For the same insolation order these regions from highest absorption to lowest.
