Intro
Which green house gas makes up 79% of green house emissions?
Carbon Dioxide
What is a big impact of rising temperatures?
The oceans getting warmer.
What is smog?
A mixture of fog and smoke/soot caused mainly by air pollution.
How is CO2 produced?
Burning fossil fuels, plant/animal respiration, organic decomposition, transportation, etc.
What are two common ways of transportation that don't contribute to global warming?
Walking and biking.
Is s Carbon Dioxide a natural substance in the atmosphere?
Yes
What is the effect of warmer oceans?
Fish and Birds moving north and some are dying. This causes fishermen to lose jobs and struggle more to catch fish.
How is smog formed?
Sunlight and its heat react with gases and small particles in the atmosphere.
What is another big source of CO2 emissions?
Cutting down Trees and Burning Trees.
What is one way to reduce your carbon footprint in your home?
1. Unplug appliances when not in use. 2. Put/take off another layer of clothing instead of using air conditioning/ heater. 3. Purchase green electricity. 4. Good insulation in your home.
Can you smell carbon dioxide?
no
Removal of trees from rain forests causes CO2 levels to?
increase
What is a negative effect of smog?
Lung cancer, asthma, bronchial diseases, etc.
Which source gives off the most CO2 emissions?
Electricity
Give an example of green electricity, because these do not transmit CO2?
1. Solar power. 2. wind power 3. Wave power
Energy leaves the CO2/O2 cycle in the form of?
heat
What is the problem with having Trees be the key to stopping Global Warming?
When trees die the CO2 gets released
How does climate change affect human health?
Respiratory problems, more heat-related illnesses, and more natural disasters lead to more human deaths.
How do volcanoes contribute to global warming?
What is When they erupt, they release large amounts of Co2
What is a way to help the environment?
Don't use tools that use oil and stop cutting down trees
What does carbon dioxide do in the atmosphere?
It traps heat in our atmosphere.
What gas adds more warmth to the atmosphere than any other gas?
Carbon Dioxide
Why is too much CO2 bad?
Can cause depression, respiratory problems, and global warming.
What are carbon emmissons and were do they come from?
Carbon emissions are large amounts of Carbon Dioxide that has been released into the atmosphere. Carbon emissions come mainly from cars, factories, and human-carbon outlets.
What part of the car filters the exhaust coming out of it?
Muffler, it reduces the amount of pollution that is releases.
