Biodiversity
This is why genetic diversity is important
Improves chance of survival
This is why we couldn't survive without greenhouse gases
It was be too cold
These are the three main types of fossil fuels
Coal
Oil
Natural Gas
This type of energy comes from living organisms
Biomass Energy
These are two qualities required for an ecosystem to be stable
resistant and resilient
These are the two ways rising sea levels are devastating for communities
Loss of land
Contamination of freshwater with salt water
This is a liquid fossil fuel made mainly of hydrocarbons
What is petroleum
This is how long we could power our current lifestyles harnessing the energy of the sun in a single day
25 years
Affected by change, without losing function
This is the definition of carbon sink
What is a natural environment that absorbs carbon dioxide
This is the difference between fusion and fission
Fission involves splitting large nuclei into smaller, fusion involves fusing together smaller nuclei into larger
This is the definition of a wind turbine
A device that converts wind's kinetic energy into electricity
This term refers to the fact that the closer you get to the equator, the more species you'll see
What is a latitudinal gradient
This is the definition of energy conservation and an example
Reducing the amount of energy we use. Turning off the lights when we don't use them, etc.
This is why the steady increase of fossil fuel use is bad
Once it's gone, it's gone
This is the difference between kinetic and potential energy
Kinetic is active energy due to motion
Potential is just stored energy
This is a connection of wildlife fragments
Wildlife corridor
These are 4 examples of evidence of climate change
Rising temperatures
Rising sea levels
Melting ice
Changes in precipitation
These are the two types of emissions the fossil fuel burning produces
Greenhouse gases and air pollution
These are the two main types of active solar technologies
Photovoltaic Cell and Concentrating Solar Power
