What is the main cause of coral bleaching?

Not enough carbon dioxide is dissolved in ocean water

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

Which of the following best identifies the reason that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were banned in 1996 by the Montreal Protocol?

CFCs led to the destruction of stratospheric ozone.

CFCs increased acid deposition in northern latitudes.

CFCs increased the rates of cancer in workers in mining operations.

CFCs led to a spike in the number of respiratory illnesses diagnosed in children.

Which of the following is part of a positive feedback mechanism associated with global climate change?

Increased cloudiness caused by more moisture in the atmosphere

Which of the following best describes how an anthropogenic activity can increase ocean acidification?

Emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels increase atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by the ocean.

A spill from an oil rig in the ocean can have acute toxic effects on fish and other aquatic organisms, which disrupt the aquatic food web.

Tourist activities in coastal areas increase the concentration of sunscreen in the water, which decreases the photosynthetic rates of aquatic producers and increases the pH of the ocean.

During and after a major volcanic eruption, large amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols, and ash are released into the stratosphere, which affects global climate.

Coral bleaching can be hazardous to some fish species because

coral reefs provide unique habitats for fish

decomposition of corals can lead to ocean acidification

the dead corals attract predators that feed on the fish

the corals are the primary source of O2 in ocean water

Which of the following best describes the importance of ozone in the stratosphere to life on Earth?

Ozone absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.

Ozone reflects X-rays from the Sun back into space.

Ozone helps to moderate surface temperature by absorbing CO2 and CH4.

Ozone increases mutation rates and accelerates evolution in a variety of species.

Which of the following best describes the mechanism of the greenhouse effect in Earth's atmosphere?

Infrared radiation from Earth's surface is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere.

Cosmic radiation from deep space is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere.

Alpha radiation from the Sun is absorbed by water vapor in the atmosphere.

Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is absorbed by ozone gas in the stratosphere.

How does ocean acidification impact marine calcifiers?

It weakens their shells and bodies

It makes the water too warm for them

It adds too much weight to their shells

People and animals and their diseases have been frozen in the permafrost for hundreds of years, but unfreezing them ____.

can cause more food for wildlife

can cause more plants to be made from the remains

What are the main greenhouse gases?
