explain what a primary pollutant is using an example. [3marker]
emitted directly from a process. The process may be natural, eg volcanic eruptions or anthropogenic (human made), eg industry, motor vehicle exhausts. A major source of anthropogenic air pollution is from the combustion of fossil fuels.
what are the two types of feedback? Choose one and explain it.
Negative feedback is .eedback that tends to dampen down, reduce or counteract any deviation .rom an equilibrium, and promotes stability.
For example, increased evaporation in tropical latitudes leads to increased snowfall on the polar ice caps, which reduces the mean global temperature.
Positive feedback is feedback that amplifies or increases change; it leads to exponential deviation away from an equilibrium. For example, increased thawing of permafrost leading to an increase in methane levels, which increases the mean global temperature.

Explain the tragedy of the commons
when many individuals act in their own self- interest to harvest a resource but destroy the long- term future of that resource so there is none for anyone. It may be obvious that this will happen, but each individual benefits from taking the resource in the short term so they continue to do so. For example, hunting an endangered species may result in its extinction but if your family are starving and it is the only source of food, you will probably hunt it to eat it.
