Question

5
carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as which of the following compounds?
stratospheric ozone
fossil fuel
carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide
6
the photograph below shows mt. kilimanjaro, a volcano in africa, located near the equator.
which climate factor is responsible for the snow seen on mt. kilimanjaro?
high latitude
high elevation
nearness to a cold ocean current
nearness to a high - pressure weather center

Explanation:

• For question 5: Carbon in the atmosphere is most often found as carbon dioxide. Stratospheric ozone (\(O_3\)) has no carbon. Fossil fuel is not in the atmosphere (it's underground or burned to release \(CO_2\)). Carbon monoxide (\(CO\)) is less abundant than \(CO_2\) in the atmosphere.
• For question 6: Mt. Kilimanjaro is near the equator (low latitude), so high latitude is wrong. It's a tall mountain. As elevation increases, temperature decreases (lapse rate of about \(6.5^{\circ}C\) per kilometer). Nearness to a cold ocean current would affect coastal areas, but this is a mountain. Nearness to a high - pressure weather center affects weather patterns like precipitation and clear skies, not the presence of snow on a tall mountain.

Answer:

1. carbon dioxide
2. high elevation
