Explanation:
Ozone is a secondary pollutant, meaning it is not emitted directly but is formed in the atmosphere through chemical reactions between primary pollutants (like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds) in the presence of sunlight.
Explanation:
The polar regions receive low-angle solar radiation, spreading sunlight over a large area and reducing the energy per unit area, resulting in extremely cold temperatures year-round.
Explanation:
Snow squalls are intense, short-lived snowstorms with strong winds, heavy snow, and low visibility, often associated with intense convection, convergence, and rapidly cooling air.
