What are scientists predicting will happen to the temperature after the eruption (BLUE LINE on graph)? Why do they think this will happen?
Temperatures will (a) because of the (b) .
The average temperature of the ocean on the East coast (Atlantic Ocean) of the United States is 80 degrees compared to 70 degrees on the West coast (Pacific Ocean).
Observe the ocean currents and explain why this is so.
It is (a) on the west coast than the east coast because of the (b) come from the (c)
The human population has increased significantly from 1880 to 2020. Explain how this might contribute to the trend you see on the graph.
Observe the graph. Compare the amount of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon to carbon emissions.
From 2001-2004, deforestation was (a) and CO2 emissions were (b) . From 2005-2010 deforestation was (c) and CO2 emissions were (d)
What season do we have higher % of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Explain why this is so.
Summer, because there is more photosynthesis
Summer, because there is less photosynthesis
Winter, because there is more photosynthesis
Winter, because there is less photosynthesis
How do trees help regulate the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?
Trees absorb Oxygen during photosynthesis
Trees absorb CO2 during photosynthesis
Why does the temperature of the earth rise as the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases?
CO2 traps heat on Earth like a blanket
CO2 reflects heat back into space
What do you think would happen if the amount of carbon dioxide decreased?
Less CO2 would grow more plants
Ice caps would melt causing sea levels to rise
Explain how oceans and the process of photosynthesis help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
Oceans store CO2 and photosynthesis releases CO2
Oceans and photosynthesis plants absorb CO2
Oceans and photosynthesis plants release CO2
Oceans release CO2 and photosynthesis stores CO2
How can we reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Adopt renewable energy and improve energy efficiency
Without ANY greenhouse gases, Earth climate would be too (a) for life. But, too much greenhouse gas makes the Earth's climate too (b)
