Global Warming
What is global warming?
What is the increase in temperature of the earth's atmosphere?
Acid rain is made up of what?
What is Sulpher and and Nitrogen?
Ozone is...
What is a gas that is found in two different layers of the atmosphere?
A renewable resource is...
What is s resource that can be used repeatedly that doesn’t run out since it keeps on being naturally replaced?
A non-native species is...
What is someone/something that's not originally from a certain area?
The largest greenhouse gas
What is carbon?
Acid rain is...
What is Rain that has water droplets consisting of acidic chemicals due to sulphur and nitrogen released by cars?
Why is ozone important for the earth?
What is it protects life on Earth by absorbing the sun’s rays we don’t need? With too many of the sun's UV rays, we would all die.
A nonrenewable resource is...
What is a natural resource that can not be replaced at the same speed that it is consumed?
How did the Zebra mussels get to the U.S?
What is they stuck to the bottom of a boat and were accidently brought there?
Explain why we couldn't survive on Earth without the greenhouse effect
What is Earth would freeze without it? However, too much of the greenhouse effect could warm our planet too much.
How does Acid rain affect buildings?
What is it damages them badly, depending on what they're made of? How it does this is the rain affects the calcium compounds in the buildings.
The difference between bad and good ozone is...
What is the bad one dirties the air and contributes to smog in the troposphere and the good one protects Earth by absorbing the sun’s UV rays in the stratosphere?
Oil is nonrenewable but the sun is not b/c...
What is b/c the sun will keep on shining its rays and we always just have whether we need it or not? But with the oil, it won’t last forever.
List two reasons why non-native species can be dangerous to an ecosystem
What is it distrupts the food chain, harms plants and animals, they can outcompete animals for food and resources, and can make a species instinct?
Explain the greenhouse effect.
What is when more and more greenhouse gasses get into the air making the Earth warmer and warmer. It traps the sun’s warmth in the lower atmosphere since there is transparency in the world?
How does Acid rain affect plants and animals?
What is it can make trees and plants lose their leaves and bark? It can also affect the plant's growth.
What is ozone depletion?
What is that is what it was called when a bunch of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) were carried up into the stratosphere from the wind and made a negative impact on ozone? It caught up to the ozone and destroyed a LOT of them.
Why is water both renewable and nonrenewable?
What is it can be used over and over again, since it has a cycle? It’s also limited though, since only less than 3% of the world’s water is fresh.
What impacts have the rapid growth of zebra mussels had?
What is they totally took control of the Great Lakes and started damaging boats, docks, and machinery from the lake since they weren’t originally supposed to be there?
