OK, sorry, this slipped through cracks. <br />Text that I couldn't see sounds fine. <br />Yes, figure 1 text looks okay.<br />As for "effect" versus "effects" there's no hard and fast rule, but&nbsp;- "effect" if you're talking about some kind of general concept OR a single effect, and "effects" if you're talking specifics OR more than one effect.&nbsp; "What effect does X have on Y?"&nbsp; is fine, a generality.&nbsp; "What is the effect of X on Y?"&nbsp; is also okay, even if there are going to be more than one - again, you're speaking in genaralities.&nbsp; But you could also correctly say "What are the effects of X on Y?"&nbsp; particularly if you know there's more than one.&nbsp;<br />Examples: "The <b>effect</b> of global warming is that glaciers will melt and sea&nbsp;levels will rise"&nbsp;is correct, but so is "The effects of global warming are that glaciers will melt and sea levels will rise."&nbsp; I didn't see any misuse of the word/words in your ms.&nbsp; But it's a fuzzy word.&nbsp;
