Answer:
Definition: The amount of carbon dioxide and other carbon compounds emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person, group, etc.
(1)
Troposphere – This is the densest layer and where weather events occur
Stratosphere – This is where the ozone layer is found. Some high altitude aircraft cruise in this layer.
Mesosphere – Temperatures drop with altitude in this layer
Thermosphere – This is where most of the meteorites that enter the earth’s atmosphere burn up. This layer takes up most of the Uv and X-rays from the sun. Most satellites orbiting earth are in this layer
Exosphere – almost akin to space due to the thinness of the layer. Molecules in the layer often escape into space
(2)
A ‘pause’ is a transition between the above-mentioned distinct layers. The tropopause, for example, occurs between the troposphere and the stratosphere and the stratopause between the stratosphere and mesosphere and thermopause is found between thermosphere and exosphere.
(3)
A temperature inversion is a rise in temperatures with altitude in a layer in the atmosphere. One layer exhibiting temperature inversion is the stratosphere. This is due to the ozone layer that absorbs UV light. The upper ozone absorbs most of the UV light, than lower ozone, exciting the molecules and making the higher altitudes in the layer to be warmer.
(4)
The ozone layer protects life on earth from the high energy UV radiation from the sun. UV is capable of causing double-stranded break on DNA resulting in genetic mutations on organisms. Most of these would be lethal. The Ozone absorbs most of the UV before it reaches earth's surface. Ozone is formed when an oxygen molecule reacts with another oxygen atom to form an O₃. The oxygen atoms are made from the splitting of an oxygen molecule by UV light.

Answer:
Aldehyde has C=O bonded to atleast one H atom while Ketone has C=O bonded to two carbon atoms
Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose
Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses
Explanation:
Similarity
Both the aldehyde and ketone have C=O group
Difference
In aldehye the C=O group require atleast one hydrogen atom or the functional group in aldehyde is -CHO
while in ketone the function group is C=O only that is bonded to two carbon atoms.
Example
Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose
Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses
The correct answer is abyssal plain.
The ocean basin or the abyssal plain refers to the flat region of the ocean floor. It is enveloped with mud, sand, and animal and plant remain. Situated on this flat plain are underwater mountains known as seamounts, which are produced by volcanic eruptions.
The challenger deep, in the southern terminal of the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in the ocean.
