Earth/Environmental Science EOC Review

In the stratosphere, temperature increases due to ozone absorbing ultraviolet radiation, while in the thermosphere, it increases due to direct exposure to the sun.

The current becomes cooler, causing it to become more dense and sink.

There is a larger-than-normal height difference between low tide and high tide.

Both remove vegetation in the area, destroying habitats.

Intrusion of salt water into the water table.

Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation, leading to temperature increases.

Ocean currents can transport warm or cold water, influencing regional climates.

It can lead to higher tidal ranges, affecting coastal ecosystems.

Surface mining can lead to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and water pollution.

Saltwater intrusion occurs when excessive groundwater withdrawal allows saltwater to enter freshwater aquifers.
