What causes global warming?
As human activity takes place, carbon-dioxide is released. It could also be volcanic eruptions that releases CO2 in the atmosphere. It could also be the Earth's position in space.
100

What is the most common greenhouse gas?

Carbon Dioxide

What is the difference between direct and virtual water use?

Direct water is seen, felt, and used to produce an item or service. Virtual water is “hidden” in the products, services, and processes people buy.

100
What are two common ways of transportation that does not add to global warming?
Walking and Biking
100
What is the most abundant gas in our atmosphere?
What is Nitrogen

List one way people cause climate change?

So many correct answers to this question, leave it to the teacher to decide

200

What are greenhouse gases?

Gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat

200

How do volcanoes contribute to global warming?

When they erupt, they release large amounts of Co2

200
How does planting trees help reduce carbon dioxide levels?
They take in Co2 and release oxygen via photosynthesis.
200
What is AQI an abbreviation for?
What is Air quality index.
300
How can earth's forests affect global warming?
The forests use the CO2 in the atmosphere
300
How are animals affected by greenhouse gases?
Some animals can only live in cold temperatures and if temperature rises, they can become extinct
300

What is the difference between weather and climate?

"Weather" refers to the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, "climate" describes the weather of a place averaged over an extended period of time

300
How are cold-water animal species responding to the increase of temperature in their waters?
Many of the species are dying off, migrating, and breaking patterns of life cycles.

Name 2 Greenhouse gases

CO2, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide

400

How are green house gases linked to global warming?

The green house gases get trapped in the atmosphere therefore making the temperatures rise

400
How do forests contribute to the removal of greenhouse gases?
They respirate by exchanging Co2 for oxygen
400
How does the AQI help people?
Air quality index tells us how polluted the air is 24/7

In Michigan, name one season wind turbines produce the most energy.

Winter and Spring is also acceptable

500

How will climate change affect the ocean?

Polar Ice caps may melt therefore increasing ocean levels. Ocean acidification.

500
If we continued to damage the earth,how would that affect life?
The atmoshere would overheat and therefore lifeforms would not have enough time to adapt.
500

What are 2 alternatives for making electricity that do not contribute to global warming?

Wind, Hydropower, Geothermal, Solar, Nuclear energy

500

What are two pieces of evidence that global warming is happening?

Temperature changes in the ocean, melting ice caps, more droughts, arctic animals dying, and more natural disasters such as tornados and hurricanes.
