Coral Reef are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. All of the following endanger the coral reef except for:
warmer water with less oxygen and more CO2
acidic water causing the Coral to be bleached
Thinning Shells
Respectful Snorkelers and divers taking underwater images
The Greenhouse Effect __________________________.
Traps all of the heat from the Sun
Repels sunlight away from the atmosphere
Traps some heat and releases some heat back to space
only works in the summer months

What does melting sea ice NOT cause?
coastal flooding and erosion
sea-level rise
deforestation
ocean warming and stronger storms
What is the Greenhouse Affect?
As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase
Condition that is caused by carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere
causes sea levels to rise because it adds water to the ocean.

Ecological Succession
Why is Carbon Dioxide considered to be a Greenhouse Gas?
It is a combination of natural and human forces
It has a biogeochemical cycle
It is a type of weather that occurs during a particular season
It absorbs and reradiates infrared radiation to warm the Earth
Select all that apply
The Anthropocene is known "the age of humans" because:
It is the first time in Earth's history where humans have had an impact on the environment.
Technology we rely on is unsustainable and contributing to climate change and extreme weather events.
We are releasing CO2 into the atmosphere at alarming rates.
Human activities burn fossil fuels and this is leading to global warming.
Which is NOT a effect of an increase in global temperatures?
Rise in ocean levels
Stronger hurricanes
Changes in the amount of rainfall
Diversification of animal species
