Introduction
The raising of crops and livestock for food
What is agriculture?
An essay that proposed the idea that the main difficulty in solving environmental problems is the conflict between the short-term interests of individuals and the long-term well-fare of society.
What is the Tragedy of the Commons?
They are: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
These are the 3 mechanisms by which energy from the sun is transferred in Earth's atmosphere.
This is the processes in which greenhouse gases absorb and reradiate infrared radiation near the earth.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
The study of living things
What is biology?
In economics: the greater the demand for a limited supply, the more the product is worth.
What is supply and demand?
This is the atmospheric layer where weather occurs.
What is the Troposphere?
This is heat coming directly from a heating source.
What is radiation?
The gases in the atmosphere that trap heat.
What are greenhouse gases?
People who obtain food by collecting plants and by hunting wild animals or scavenging?
A metric used to show the productive area of Earth needed to support one person in a particular country
What is the ecological footprint?
This is the later of Earth's atmosphere where the ozone layer is located.
What is the stratosphere?
This is the type of heat that causes air to rise.
What is convection?
This, along with carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, is one of the most abundant greenhouse gases.
What is water vapor?
This can be replaced relatively quickly by natural processes.
A metric used to show how much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere to support a person's lifestyle.
What is Carbon Footprint?
This is the layer of Earth's atmosphere where the aurora occur.
What is the Thermosphere?
This is heat emanating off a hot surface.
What is Conduction?
This is what is caused when too many greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere through, for example, industry.
What is global climate change?
An undesirable change in the natural environment that is caused by the introduction of substances that are harmful to living organisms.
The condition in which human needs are met in such a way that a human population can survive indefinitely.
What is Sustainability?
This is the coldest later of Earth's atmosphere.
What is the Mesosphere?
What is Convection?
These are the layers of gas that surround Earth
What is the atmosphere?
