Causes and Effects

What are the effects of air pollution on human health?

• Air pollution only affects animals, not humans

• Air pollution has no impact on human health

• Air pollution can improve human health

• Air pollution can lead to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular issues, worsen asthma, cause lung cancer, and impact overall health.

How does water pollution impact marine life?

• Water pollution impacts marine life by introducing harmful substances into the water.

• Water pollution has no impact on marine life

• Water pollution only affects land animals

• Marine life benefits from water pollution

Explain the relationship between deforestation and climate change.

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change as it only affects local ecosystems.

• Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, leading to increased greenhouse gas levels and contributing to climate change.

• Deforestation leads to the release of oxygen, which helps combat climate change.

• Deforestation increases the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas levels and mitigating climate change.

What are the causes of the greenhouse effect?

• Increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor in the atmosphere.

• Decrease in greenhouse gases

• Natural climate variability

• Increase in oxygen levels

How does the burning of fossil fuels contribute to global warming?

• Burning fossil fuels has no impact on the environment

• Burning fossil fuels leads to increased oxygen levels

• Burning fossil fuels reduces global temperatures

• Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.

Discuss the impact of plastic pollution on the environment.

• Plastic pollution negatively affects the environment through water contamination, harm to wildlife, greenhouse gas emissions, ecosystem destruction, and human health risks.

• Plastic pollution leads to increased biodiversity

• Plastic pollution has no impact on the environment

• Plastic pollution helps in reducing global warming

What role does carbon dioxide play in the process of global warming?

• Carbon dioxide cools the Earth's atmosphere

• Carbon dioxide has no impact on global warming

• Carbon dioxide depletes the ozone layer

• Carbon dioxide enhances the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.

Explain how industrial activities lead to environmental pollution.

• Industrial activities help in preserving the environment

• Industrial activities reduce pollution levels

• Industrial activities have no impact on the environment

• Industrial activities lead to environmental pollution by releasing harmful pollutants into the air, water, and soil.

What are the consequences of ozone layer depletion?

• Decreased global warming

• Consequences of ozone layer depletion include increased UV radiation exposure, leading to skin cancer, cataracts, and harm to marine life and ecosystems.

• Enhanced air quality

• Promotion of plant growth

How do natural disasters like hurricanes and floods relate to climate change?

• Climate change intensifies hurricanes and floods by warming ocean temperatures and increasing rainfall.

• Hurricanes and floods are caused by human activities

• Climate change has no impact on natural disasters

• Natural disasters are completely random events
