The thinning of the ozone layer is also known as the
ozone hole
ozone gap
ozone space
ozone void
Which type of radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?
infrared
gamma
visible light
ultraviolet
Ozone is made of which chemical element?
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
The ozone layer is important because:
It is a turbulence free zone for planes to fly in.
It absorbs the majority of the UV rays produced by the sun
It produces most of the oxygen needed for organisms in the troposphere
Depletion of the ozone layer is caused by:
Methane
Carbon Dioxide
UV rays
Chlorofluorocarbons
The hole in the ozone layer is located
Over the Arctic/North Pole
Over Antarctica/South Pole
UV rays can
Damage the DNA of organisms
Cause cancer
Damage eggs
All of the above
What is the name of the international agreement committing parties to phasing out ozone depleting substances and phasing out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)?
Vienna Protocol
Paris Agreement
Montreal Protocol
Antarctic Convention
What is an ozone layer?
a thin protective layer around the earth (in the stratosphere)
a cloud blanket in the sky
water vapors from the ocean
CFCs are responsible for the damage caused to the ozone layer. Select the chemical that causes ozone to breakdown.
Carbon
Oxygen
Fluorine
Chlorine
using fossil fuels
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
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.
The cooling of Earth due to air pollution.
Which of the following events would be MOST likely to add Greenhouse Gases to the atmosphere?
Hurricane
Tsunami
Forest Fire
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
Why is the increase of Greenhouse gasses a big issue?
It causes an increase in the global average temperatures which leads to climate change.
It leads to more factories
It causes a major decrease in people
Do we need greenhouse gases on Earth?
Yes - they keep the Earth warm
Yes - they keep all the gases on our planet
No - they only cause terrible climate change
No - they only block some of the Sun's rays
The gradual increase in the temperature of the atmosphere caused by human activity is known as ________________.
Greenhouse Effect
Global Warming
Carbon Dioxide Gases
Methane
How can global warming cause sea levels to rise? Choose the best answer.
by increasing the number of undersea volcanic eruptions
by melting glaciers and ice caps
by creating bigger and more powerful hurricanes
The graph below shows CO2 emissions and temperatures from 1984 to 2009. What conclusion is best supported by the graph?
There is no relationship between carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures
As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase
As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures decrease
Which of the following events could increase Earth's temperature?
a decrease in the relative percent of greenhouse gases
planting more trees
widespread removal of tropical forests
a reduction in the use of fossil fuels
