Unit 6 test (Ray)

Front

What is the role of producers in the carbon cycle?

Back

Producers absorb carbon from the atmosphere to use as an ingredient for photosynthesis.

Front

How do human activities influence climate change?

Back

Human activities like releasing greenhouse gases, deforestation, and urbanization increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise.

Front

What is the effect of deforestation on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels?

Back

Deforestation leads to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

Front

What impact does a volcanic eruption have on climate?

Back

A large volcanic eruption can produce ash clouds that block sunlight, leading to lower temperatures and slower rates of plant growth.

Front

What is the significance of the ozone layer?

Back

The ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation; thinning of this layer increases UV radiation levels.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are greenhouse gases?

Back

Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change.

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The greenhouse effect is the warming of the Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Front

What are decomposers and their role in the carbon cycle?

Back

Decomposers break down organic matter, releasing carbon back into the soil and atmosphere.

Front

How does urbanization affect carbon dioxide levels?

Back

Urbanization increases carbon dioxide levels due to increased energy consumption and transportation.
