What is climate change?
Long term shifts in temperatures and severe weather patterns
True or false... we cant create or remove carbon from the atmosphere
True
True or False, If the number on a pH scale is larger than 7 its really acidic.
False
True or false, Ocean acidification is great for sea animals because it allows them to live longer

What is Earths Blanket?
Different layers of gasses that form a thin ''blanket''
What does carbon cycle show?
Shows how carbon is exchanged throughout the atmosphere
What does CB and CA stand for?
Conjugate base and Conjugate acid
What is Ocean acidification?
A reduction in the oceans pH
What is the major cause of the greenhouse affect?
Gasses in the atmosphere that absorb heat from the Earths surface
True or False...The thicker the tree ring means warm and wet climate
True
What can the carbon cycle keep maintained?
A stable climate and carbon balance on our planet
What is very acidic on the pH scale?
Seven or lower
Why is Ocean acidification a problem?
It harms sea animals
Where do green house gasses come from?

List three climate changes and how they affect each other...
etc...
What is being caused in the carbon cycle?
The burning of fossil fuels and or carbon footprint
Give examples of something acidic
lemon juice, vinegar, battery acid
How much % of CO2 does the ocean absorb?
30%
What are three ways we can reduce green house gasses?
Reduce carbon footprint, Recycling, and Natural gas and energy sources
How can scientist tell there has been a change in climate over the years?
Tree rings or ice capsules
Give an explanation of the carbon cycle moving with the steps
carbon enters the atmosphere...
What is the difference between a base and an acid?
Acids produce hydrogen ions and bases accept hydrogen ions
What can the decreasing of carbonate ions cause?
Can make building and maintaining shells and other calcium carbonate structures difficult for calcifying organisms
