Why would a decrease in the density of the ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere cause public health problems?

What are the key sources of chlorofluorocarbons?

What are the uses of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)?

How are the inferred properties of Earth's original atmosphere related to the location and timescale of Earth's formation from the solar nebula?

What does the associated graph indicate about a stream?

A. Silt and clay are carried in suspension under most stream velocities.

B. Sand and gravel are deposited at low velocities but transported at higher velocities.

C. Sand is carried in suspension only at high velocities.

D. As fast-moving water slows down, fine sand can switch from transport by suspension to the bed load.

E. All of these.

How does a multicellular organism maintain homeostasis?

In a multicellular organism, what is an example of homeostasis?

A sheet of water passing over a waterfall is thicker near the top than near the bottom. Similarly, a stream of water emerging from a water faucet becomes narrower as it falls. Explain.

A stream becomes a river as it moves down gradient. Give the sequence in the evolution of a stream: (a) meandering pattern, (b) rapids, (c) delta.

Identify a wave that speeds up when it passes from air to water as well as one that slows down.

Water slows down when it reaches (permeable/impermeable) material.

Water flows in a horizontal pipe that is narrow but then widens and the speed of the water becomes less. The pressure in the water moving in the pipe is (a) greater in the wide part. (b) greater in the narrow part. (c) the same in both parts. (d) greater where the speed is higher. (e) greater where the speed is lower.

Water slows down when it reaches (permeable/impermeable) material.

A steady stream of water falls straight down from a pipe. As- sume the flow is incompressible; the flow is similar to earlier Fig. How does the pressure in the water vary with height in the falling stream? $\quad(A)$ The pressure in the water is higher at lower points in the stream. $\quad(B)$ The pressure in the water is lower at lower points in the stream. $\quad(C)$ The pressure in the water is the same at all points in the stream.
