Answer 18

The first vile

Question 19

You’re reading the data coming from my data data gathering as it rises in the atmosphere. You have no idea what altitude it is at, but the blueness sending a signal from your manager telling you the temperature of the surroundings. How are you know when the blue and enters the stress year? How do you know when it enters the metro swear

Answer 19

When the temperature starts to increase and then when the temperature starts to decrease again

Answer 24

Yes heat is energy days been transferred/how fast market are moving

Question 25

Suppose there are a layer of carbon dioxide gas in master of the year what would happen to temperature gradient in that region?

Answer 25

Warm-up

Answer 26

The ozone hole happens over Antarctica under certain conditions

Question 27

Why will the band and see if she’s mostly result in a tragic loss of human life

Answer 27

Because it such a useful chemical it helped refrigeration and to put out fires also to sterilize medical tools
