Greenhouse Gases
This gas, emitted primarily from burning fossil fuels, is the largest contributor to human-caused global warming.
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Rising global temperatures contribute to more frequent and intense occurrences of this extreme weather event.
Heatwaves
This term refers to the process by which higher levels of atmospheric CO2 lead to increased acidity in the world’s oceans.
Ocean acidification
Ocean acidification primarily affects marine organisms that rely on this substance to build their shells and skeletons.
Calcium Carbonate

This potent greenhouse gas is released from agricultural practices, landfills, and natural gas systems.
Methane (CH4)
The melting of polar ice caps and glaciers contributes to this environmental consequence.
Rising temperatures can lead to the loss of this type of habitat, home to many species, including polar bears and penguins. What is this type of habitat known as?
Polar ice caps
This marine ecosystem is particularly vulnerable to ocean acidification, threatening its biodiversity and productivity.
Coral Reefs
Name an animal that can never look up. It only looks straight ahead and down.
Pigs
This gas, found in aerosols and refrigerants, has a much higher heat-trapping potential than CO2.
Fluorinated Gases
This phenomenon, exacerbated by climate change, refers to the acidification of the world’s oceans.
Ocean acidification
Climate change can lead to coral bleaching, caused by this environmental stressor.
Increased Sea Surface Temperatures
Ocean acidification primarily occurs due to the absorption of this gas from the atmosphere into seawater.
Carbon Dioxide
Last chance, are you sure you want to continue with this one?
Nice. Free 300 points.
This greenhouse gas is a natural component of the atmosphere and plays a role in the greenhouse effect.
Water Vapor (H2O)
Climate change is exacerbating this weather event characterized by strong, rotating winds and heavy rainfall, leading to more destructive storms. What is this?
Hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones
When some species may struggle to migrate or adapt fast enough to changing conditions. What is this known as?
Habitat Loss
Ocean acidification can affect this process in marine organisms, making it harder for them to regulate internal pH levels.
Calcification

This gas, also known as laughing gas, is a greenhouse gas released from agricultural and industrial activities.
Nitrous oxide (N2O)
What material contains a high level of carbon and is formed from the remains of ancient plant materials that underwent geological processes over millions of years?
(Hint: Be nice before Santa stops by)
Coal
This term describes the impact of higher CO2 levels on plant growth and agriculture.
Carbon Fertilization
This type of marine organism, including clams and oysters, may struggle to build their shells in more acidic ocean conditions.
Shellfish or mollusks
