Question
Chapter 40.4, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way and the reason that the earth’s climate changed during the past century.
Concept introduction:
The climate of earth is continuously changing because of the carbon dioxide releases due to the various activities of humans. This increased CO2 causes the depletion of ozone layer.
