Biomes

What is Global Warming?
Earth's temperature rising.

Do the three R's help? What are they?
Yes, because they help us by conserving our items, reusing items, and reducing the amount of stuff you use. The three R's are Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

What is air pollution?
Air pollution is contaminated air.

Describe what a biome is; give an example
Biomes are regions of the world with similar climate, animals and plants. An example could be a forest, desert, tundra, grassland, or ocean.
200
What causes Global Warming?
Humans doing activities that can affect the environment
200
What can we do to help save the Earth?
Turn off lights and technology (like TVs and computers) when not in use to save energy, buy energy saving devices (such as rechargeable batteries), walk or ride your bike rather than using a car; which pollutes the air, use less water; when you're brushing your teeth, turn off the faucet, don't take long showers, conserving water, preserving air quality, protecting the health of the land, helping to protect animals, and by conserving energy.
200
How does air pollution occur?
Humans burning fossil fuels, coal, and driving cars.
300
What are the six biomes?
They are forests, deserts, grasslands, tundras, coral reefs, and aquatic biomes. (oceans and freshwater)
300
Do humans cause Global Warming?
Yes, by: - burning coal, oil, and gas - cutting down trees/ deforestation - driving cars instead of riding bikes/ other transportation that doesn't release co2 - leaving electricity/ technology not in use on -the Earth is heating up, so the polar ice-caps start melting!
300
What are a few ways to help the environment?
A few ways to help the environment are to turn off anything that uses electricity, unplug devices when possible, trade in your dryer for an old-fashioned clothesline, run your air conditioner sparingly or not at all, close the heating and A/C vents in your home, don't use electronic exercise machines, and use a warm blanket or sweater in winter.
300
What pollutants are found in the air?
Ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and lead.
400
How is our Earth's environment and animals being affected by Global Warming?
Migration and hibernation patterns of animals affected, warmer ocean temperatures, many plants and animals become extinct, precipitation has increased globally, and there has been a lot of stormy weather.
400
Name the three greenhouse gases in our air
Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide
400
Name a few alternative forms of energy:
Solar power, geothermal energy, wind power, biomass, fuel cells, and biogas.
400
How does air pollution affect the environment?
A few examples could be by polluting our environment, natural gas, along with coal and oil, smog; mixture of smoke and fog that's ozone; produces deadly poisons, and acid rain; combined pollutants with water droplets, then fall down to Earth as rain (habitats become acidic and kill animals)
