Human activity
Things that people do or cause to happen.
The whole mass of gases surrounding Earth, made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and other trace gases.
The process that decreases the pH of the ocean due to an increase in the absorption of carbon dioxide.
A long-term change in the whole Earth’s average climate.
Which of the following describes an interaction between Earth's systems?
Terrestrial plant life determines the oceanic animal life.
Radiant energy impacts the number of humans living in a specified area.
Biomass impacts the amount of radiant energy available.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide changes based on the amount of plant life in the area.
The whole mass of gases surrounding Earth, made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and other trace gases.
Acidification
Atmosphere
Biosphere
Human activity
Biosphere
The sum of all living matter made of a limited number of elements, including oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
The process that decreases the pH of the ocean due to an increase in the absorption of carbon dioxide.
The whole mass of gases surrounding Earth, made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and other trace gases.
A long-term change in the whole Earth’s average climate.
What is one long-term effect of increased carbon emissions?
Over-acidification of the ocean, causing some human food sources to become unavailable
Too much carbon dioxide can be released, causing plant growth to be stunted.
An increase in air temperature that benefits organisms living in colder environments
None of the answer choices are correct.
Which of the following are NOT important to consider when analyzing a representation of how an ecosystem is being impacted by humans?
The amount of rain the system receives
System boundaries
Inputs and outputs to the system
Initial system conditions
How does an increase in the acidity of ocean water affect organisms living in that environment?
All organisms remain unaffected because they adapt to the higher acidity.
Some organisms are able to adapt to the increased acidity and thrive.
All food sources are negatively impacted, so the organisms are unable to sustain life.
All organisms eventually die off because they cannot adapt to the increased acidity.
A long-term change in the whole Earth’s average climate.
Biosphere
Acidification
Global climate change
Atmosphere
The process that decreases the pH of the ocean due to an increase in the absorption of carbon dioxide.
Acidification
Atmosphere
Biosphere
Global climate change
How can an increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration affect the chemistry of ocean water?
By allowing shell-forming marine organisms to form shells more efficiently
By increasing its acidity
By decreasing its acidity
There is no change because the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cannot be dissolved into ocean water.
