How Does Global Warming Effect The Environment

The video explores the impact of greenhouse gases on global warming, highlighting the rise in global temperatures and its effects on climate, ecosystems, and sea levels. It discusses the consequences of ocean acidification and the role of positive feedback loops in exacerbating climate change. The video emphasizes the need to understand these changes and their implications for the planet.

What is one of the main causes of the current increase in global temperatures?

• Increased volcanic eruptions

• Decreased solar activity

• Reduction in ocean currents

• Release of extra greenhouse gases

How might climate change affect rainfall patterns?

• Some areas will experience more rain while others face droughts.

• Rainfall will decrease uniformly across the planet.

• Rainfall will become more evenly distributed globally.

• Rainfall patterns will remain unchanged.

What is a potential consequence of rising sea levels?

• Increased land area for agriculture

• Stabilization of ocean currents

• More frequent flooding of coastal cities

• Decrease in global temperatures

What happens when carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean?

• It increases the ocean's temperature.

• It makes the ocean more acidic.

• It has no effect on ocean chemistry.

• It makes the ocean more alkaline.

What is a positive feedback loop in the context of global warming?

• A method to cool down the planet

• A process that reduces the effects of global warming

• A cycle that amplifies the effects of global warming

• A feedback system that stabilizes climate change
