200
How will people moving to the suburbs affect climate change?
Increased miles and increase climate change
200
What reservoir holds the most carbon?
Oceans
200
How could changes in ocean currents influence climate?
Melting ice caps adding freshwater to oceans and distribute heat globally
300
Why must animals consumer other organisms in the carbon cycle?
cannot absorb carbon from the air
300
What is the greenhouse effect?
Keeping heat in the Earth's atmosphere
300
List two ways deforestation directly influences climate:
Fewer trees to absorb carbon dioxide and deforestation by fire emits greenhouse gases
300
What happens to solar radiation after volcanoes erupt?
solar radiation levels drop suddenly and rise again
300
How do greenhouse gases influence climate?
Warming influences of carbon dioxide is greater than all others combined.
