What secondary pollution is produced when sunlight interacts with VOC's and NOx released from vehicle exhaust?

• Ozone (O3)

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

• Nitrogen Oxides (NO)

• Sulfur Oxides (SO)

What role do the oceans play in moderating climate change?

• Oceans remove about 25% of the atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by humans.

• Oceans reflect sunlight back into space before the ultraviolet wavelengths are converted into infrared radiation.

• Oceans serve as a layer of insulation between the atmosphere and magma deep within Earth.

• Oceans help to reduce the level of water vapor in the atmosphere through condensation.
