Front

What effect does increased volcanic activity have on ocean pH levels?

Back

Increased volcanic activity raises CO₂ levels in the atmosphere and ocean, leading to a reduction in ocean pH levels.

How do the magnitudes of earthquakes in Region W compare to other regions?

Back

Earthquakes in Region W have the lowest magnitudes compared to other regions.

Front

What is the impact of volcanic ash on the Earth's climate after an eruption?

Back

Volcanic ash decreases global temperatures by reflecting sunlight back into space.

Front

What physical process is most closely related to mantle convection?

Back

A cool sea breeze is blown onto land where it warms and rises.

Front

What is the primary gas released during volcanic eruptions that affects ocean chemistry?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Front

How does increased CO₂ in the ocean affect marine life?

Back

Increased CO₂ leads to ocean acidification, which can harm marine organisms, especially those with calcium carbonate shells.

Front

What geological feature is commonly associated with earthquake activity?

Back

Fault lines.

Front

What is the relationship between tectonic plate movement and earthquakes?

Back

Earthquakes occur when stress builds up along fault lines due to tectonic plate movement, leading to sudden releases of energy.

Front

How does the cooling of volcanic ash in the atmosphere affect weather patterns?

Back

It can lead to temporary cooling and altered weather patterns due to reduced sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.
