DOL_ES_ Effects of Pollution on Global Warming

How does pollution contribute to global warming?

• By increasing the ozone layer

• By increasing the greenhouse effect

• By causing glacial and ice cap re-freezing

• By increasing aquatic viability

Due to pollution, the ozone layer over a certain region becomes depleted. What impact is this likely to have?

• It will decrease global warming.

• It will increase biodiversity.

• It will lead to increased UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

• It will have no impact on the environment.

Mark is a scientist studying the effects of pollution on the environment. He collects data from a remote glacial region and observes significant changes over the past few decades. He notices a decrease in the glacial mass and an increase in the surrounding water bodies' temperature. What is the most likely effect of pollution contributing to these observations?

• 1. Decreased ultraviolet (UV) radiation due to ozone layer increasing

  2. Enhanced greenhouse effect leading to global warming

• Enhanced greenhouse effect leading to global warming

• Acidification of water bodies affecting aquatic life

• 1. Decreased precipitation and increased droughts in the region

The table below shows the concentration of greenhouse gases (in parts per million,  ppm) in the atmosphere over the past century.

    Based on the data, what is the most likely effect of pollution on global warming?

• Decreased greenhouse gas emissions

• Increased greenhouse gas emissions

• Stable greenhouse gas concentrations

• No correlation with global warming
