Earth Day Awareness Challenge

What is the primary cause of climate change?

• Increase in greenhouse gases due to human activities.

• Solar radiation variations unrelated to human activity

• Deforestation without any human impact

• Natural fluctuations in the Earth's climate

How does deforestation impact biodiversity?

• Deforestation negatively impacts biodiversity by causing habitat loss, population declines, and species extinctions.

• Deforestation has no effect on biodiversity.

• Deforestation improves species populations by reducing competition.

• Deforestation increases biodiversity by creating new habitats.

What are the three Rs in waste management?

• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

• Reduce, Recycle, Restore

• Reduce, Reuse, Replant

• Reuse, Recycle, Refurbish

Name one renewable energy source.

• Wind energy

• Solar energy

• Hydropower

• Geothermal energy

What is the greenhouse effect?

• The greenhouse effect is the cooling of Earth's surface due to the release of heat into space.

• The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

• The greenhouse effect refers to the increase in solar radiation reaching the Earth.

• The greenhouse effect is caused by the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere.

How does plastic pollution affect marine life?

• Plastic pollution only affects terrestrial animals, not marine species.

• Plastic pollution harms marine life by causing ingestion, entanglement, and chemical exposure.

• Plastic pollution improves marine life by providing new habitats.

• Marine life is unaffected by plastic pollution due to its resilience.

What is the significance of Earth Day?

• Earth Day is primarily focused on economic growth and development.

• Earth Day is a day to promote space exploration and technology.

• Earth Day is a global event celebrated to promote environmental protection and raise awareness about ecological issues.

• Earth Day is a celebration of global cultures and traditions.

How can individuals reduce their carbon footprint?

• Use more plastic products

• Use public transport, reduce energy use, eat less meat, recycle, and support renewable energy.

• Drive more frequently

• Increase meat consumption

What role do bees play in biodiversity?

• Bees are only important for producing wax and have no role in ecosystems.

• Bees primarily produce honey and do not affect plant diversity.

• Bees are harmful to biodiversity as they compete with other pollinators.

• Bees play a vital role in biodiversity by pollinating plants, which supports ecosystem health and plant diversity.

What is composting and why is it important?

• Composting is the burning of organic waste to create energy.

• Composting is the process of mixing inorganic materials to produce plastic.

• Composting is the decomposition of organic waste into nutrient-rich soil, important for reducing landfill waste and enhancing soil health.

• Composting is the freezing of organic waste to preserve it for later use.
