Question

5. Name the following.
(a) Constituents of the biosphere
(b) Biotic constituents of soil
(c) Fossil fuel
(d) Inert gases in air
(e) Gases that are harmful to the ozone layer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Constituents of the biosphere- Hydrosphere (Water), Lithosphere (Land), and Atmosphere (Air).

2.So, the biotic constituents of soil are organic materials, water, air, and minerals. These biotic components help increase soil fertility which is useful for plants and agricultural purposes.

3.Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed from the fossilized, buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Because of their origins, fossil fuels have a high carbon content

4.Oxygen and Nitrogen are the inert gases in the air.

5.The main substances include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and methyl bromide. The damage to the ozone layer caused by each of these substances is expressed as their ozone depletion potential (ODP).
