Think Deep and Respond
Historical monuments are gradually being damaged in many industrial cities. How are human
beings responsible for this? Explain with examples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans 1)Glaciers are large moving masses of ice in cold regions........

Ans 2) In explaination below

Explanation:

1)Erosional features

While moving down the slopes of the mountains,the glaciers results in physical breakdown and disintegration of rocks on the slopes due to their great weight and velocity with which they move down the mountains.....hence weathering of rocks also occur here

Depositional Features

While moving across a plain area the eroded material brought down From the mountains known as debris are deposited in low lying areas resulting in formation of glacial plains

2) Human industrial activities such as leather industries and others result in formation of various gases amongst which specific gases like SO2 and oxides of nitrogen produced due to various industrial activities occuring at high temperatures result in acid rain which corrodes metals and metallic constituent compounds of monuments and damages our rich cultural heritage

Example: Leather factories in the region of Agra resulted in formation of highly increased amounts of SO2 which caused frequent acid rain in the area and the corrosive rain adversely effected The Taj Mahal which is one of the seven wonders of the the world completely made up of white marble (Caco3) resulting in its yellowing as dil acid reacted with its metallic constituent compounds of marble.

I hope this helps......as I have tried to give a detailed explanation..... Mark this brainliest...if think it's worth it........!
