Erosion, sedimentation, and weathering

What does the carbon cycle help to achieve on Earth?

Increase in atmospheric pressure

Which natural events contribute to the production of carbon?

Volcanic eruptions, decomposition of organic matter, animal respiration, and forest fires

Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes

Solar flares, lunar eclipses, meteor showers, and auroras

Rainfall, snowfall, hailstorms, and droughts

Where does carbon go after it is produced?

Into the ocean, soil, and forests

Into the atmosphere, outer space, and the sun

Into rivers, lakes, and mountains

Into the desert, tundra, and savannah

What role does Earth play in the carbon cycle?

It creates balances so that carbon gets recycled

It destroys carbon to prevent accumulation

It stores carbon permanently in rocks

Match the following roles with their descriptions.

Release carbon into the atmosphere

Absorb carbon and store or transform it

Forests contribute to the carbon cycle by .

By using carbon for photosynthesis

By storing carbon in fossil fuels

In the carbon cycle, what is the role of animal respiration?

It releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

It converts carbon dioxide into organic carbon.

It absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What are two consequences of an unbalanced carbon cycle over time?

Rising global temperatures and ocean acidification

Decreasing global temperatures and ocean alkalization

Rising global temperatures and ocean alkalization

Decreasing global temperatures and ocean acidification

Ocean currents play a role in the climate of a place by

They have no effect on climate.

They determine the color of the oce

They influence the temperature and

They only affect the land temperatu

Match the following effects with their corresponding impact on marine life.

Decrease in shellfish population.

Altered behavior and physiology of marine life.

Increase in marine biodiversity.

What is a Positive Feedback Loop?

A process where the result of an action increases the action, creating a cycle that amplifies the effects of a small change

A process where the result of an action decreases the action

A system that uses output to regulate its own activity

A method to stop a process from continuing

What is a Negative Feedback Loop?

A system that uses output to regulate its own activity

A process where the result of an action increases the action

A method to amplify the effects of a small change

A process that does not involve feedback

What role do forests play in climate change mitigation?

They act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere.

They increase the albedo effect by reflecting sunlight.

They contribute to higher temperatures by releasing oxygen.

They have no role in climate change mitigation.

What is the primary way that humans contribute to climate change?

The emission of greenhouse gases

What is the impact of melting polar ice caps on global sea levels?

Sea levels increase, leading to coastal flooding

Sea levels decrease due to the cold water

The change in sea levels is unpredictable

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and cutting them down reduces this absorption.

Trees release oxygen, which is a greenhouse gas.

It increases the amount of sunlight reflected back into space.

Deforestation cools the Earth's surface, disrupting weather patterns.
