While water vapor is a greenhouse gas, why does it not contribute significantly to global climate change?

It has a short residence time in the atmosphere

It is natural and natural gases do not have negative environmental effects

Water vapor cannot reflect energy back towards Earth's surface

Water vapor is only found in the troposphere

Increases in greenhouse gases leads to which of the following? Mark ALL that are correct!

The melting of land and sea ice

An overall decrease in global temperatures

How does decreased ice and snow result in warming of the planet?

Ice and snow reflect energy from Earth's surface into space

It creates a negative feedback loop

More solar radiation enters into Earth's atmosphere

The albedo of snow and ice is low

Which BEST describes why latitudes closest to the equator have warmer climates?

they are nearer to ocean currents

they get more winds that carry energy in the form of heat

Which of the following are evidence of climate change?

increase in the average global temperature

Melting of glaciers and polar ice caps....

will result in sea-levels rising

will result in cooler temperatures in the Arctic

Will have no effect on ecosystems

What causes urban heat islands?

roads and buildings absorb and retain heat longer than vegetation does

movement of people from farms to cities

lots and lots of people heating their homes

What is Arctic (or polar) amplification?

the phenomenon that temperature near the poles is increasing at a higher rate than at lower latitudes

the intensification of the polar jet stream due to melting ice caps

the increased productivity of Arctic ecosystem due to increased upwelling

the migration of the polar front due to stronger pressure contrasts

What is an impact of increased CO 2 dissolving in the world's oceans?

Decreased pH and less reef building by coral.

Increased temperature and increased shell-forming by mollusks.

Increased eutrophication and decreased photosynthesis.

Increased pH and decreased turbidity

climate change could potentially disrupt which one of the following phenomena?

El Nino - southern oscillation (ENSO)

rotation of southern hemisphere gyres

upwelling off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand

What is the primary cause of global sea-level rise?

Thermal expansion of the oceans

Displacement due to volcanic activity at mid-ocean ridges.

When taken to a new habitat, non-native plants often threaten native plants of the new habitat. Why do they do this?

Non-native plants compete with native plants for resources

Non-native plants are able to mutate rapidly

Non-native plants cause native animals to relocate

Non-native plants are able to be used for medicine

Which of the following is a key characteristic of most invasive species?

Ability to breathe in the air & in the water

Presently, the biggest threat to biodiversity is;

Habitat destruction, such as cutting down portions of tropical rain forest, which destroys the niches occupied by tropical organisms.

Asteriod strikes, such as what happened 65 million years ago and resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Human population growth, because as population increases, so does the number of plants and animals it consumes, resulting in a decrease of those organisms.

The proliferation of zoos and botanical gardens, causing causing people to care less about preserving species in the wild because they are being cared for those in sanctuaries.

Choose the option that expresses the definition the best. "Logging, mining, building of roads, and urban development."

Habitat destruction,degradation, and fragmentation.

Population and resource use growth.

Biodiversity refers to.........

the variety of all life on earth

Which of these is a consequence of deforestation?

decreased biodiversity and soil erosion

increased oxygen in the atmosphere

decreased availability of sunlight and vitamin D

increased annual precipitation and acid rain
