Ozone and GH effect
This atmosphere based natural phenomenon is predominantly good and necessary for life to thrive on Earth, though in high enough severity can be extremely dangerous.
These marine locations are endangered hotspots for oceanic biodiversity.
What are coral reefs?
Invasive species are most prominently [blank]-selected species.
What are r-selected species?
This style of domestication yields extremely low biodiversity and can lead to many issues, though is often most profitable.
What is monocropping?
This type of UV ray is 100% blocked by the Ozone layer, and breaks O2 into O and O.
What is a UVC ray?
A surface's ability to reflect light is referred to as this scientific property.
What is albedo?
Many fish populations decline due to climate change as a result of heat's inverse relationship with this water property.
What is dissolved oxygen?
This act was made to protect endangered species.
What was the endangered species act?
This human development can lead to habitat fragmentation.
What are/is ___?
(can be roads, strip-cutting, buildings, or anything else that's applicable)
This type of UV ray is responsible for sunburns, and breaks ozone apart into O2 and O.
What is a UVB ray?
These chemicals are the leading cause of ozone depletion in the ozone layer.
What are CFCs?
This is the biggest cause for rising sea levels.
This lifestyle-based genre of animals are most vulnerable to threats and are most likely to become endangered.
What are specialists?
This is the unsustainable process of humanity using more resources from a natural area than the area is capable of supporting.
What is over-exploitation?
This atom combines with oxygen, resulting in declining ozone.
What is chlorine?
This atmospheric layer is the one that contains the Ozone layer.
What is the stratosphere?
Melting ice most prominently impacts this ocean related process.
What is thermohaline circulation?
Species such as rhinos and elephants are disproportionately threatened by this human activity.
What is poaching?
The trend of species differing when sampled from the boundaries of a habitat to those sampled from the center is referred to as this.
What is the edge effect?
Atmospheric CO2 combines with water and carbonates to create this compound.
This protocol heavily limited the use of CFCs nationally with the goal of restoring the ozone layer.
What was the Montreal Protocol?
This refers to the acidification disrupted process of marine organisms creating their shells.
Many organisms are forced to migrate as a result of this climate-change induced habitat trend.
What is habitat shift?
A group of local populations connected via dispersal or other means refers to this.
What is a metapopulation?
This aerosol and refrigerant material is often abbreviated to CFCs.
What are chlorofluorocarbons?
