Apes Project

Which of the following best describes the process shown in the diagram above?

• Less-dense, cool air rises up and mixes with the denser warm air above it, increasing the amount of thermal pollution in the atmosphere.

• Less-dense, warm air creates a temperature inversion between more-dense layers, trapping pollutants near the ground.

• Dense, warm air from the mountains on the right pushes into the less-dense, cool air mass, causing an inversion layer.

• Movement of air currents over urban areas decreases the amount of photochemical smog during summer months.

Which of the following is most responsible for the change in the emissions of volatile organic compounds ( VOC ) from 1970 to 2020 as shown in the graph?

• A decrease in the number of vehicles fitted with catalytic converters and an increase in the number of hybrid vehicles beginning in 1970.

• A decrease in the average driving distance in the United States from 1970 to 2020 that resulted from increased urbanization.

• An increase in air emission standards that began in 1970 that regulated corporate average fuel economy ( CAFE) standards.

• An increase in VOC

  emissions from car exhausts that resulted from increased driving distances from 1970 to 2020.
