average temp has increased by ___ degrees Celsius in the last 100 years

5

primary pollutants of burning FFs

CO2, NOx, VOCs

greenhouse effect

IR from earth's surface are absorbed by gases

decreased co2 in the atmosphere would

NOT be an effect of ozone depletion

wet scrubber is used to reduce

NOx and SOx emissions form power plants

ozone in stratosphere are good absorbents of

UV rays

CFCs considered GHG bc they are efficient at

absorbing thermal radiation

which supports the fact that smog formation is high in LA

ample sunshine to cause the reaction, sea level elevation to trap pollution, many cars to release NOx and VOCs

acid rain is associated with

burning fossil fuels

burning ff adds to net increase of atmospheric carbon because

carbon stored underground is added to the atmosphere

ghg that is strictly anthropogenic

cfc's

DDT is found in penguins because

chemicals used in one region circulate in the biosphere

which has a stronger affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen

co2 and so2

solution to reduce atmospheric co2

decrease use of fossil fuels

stratospheric ozone depletion results in

disruption of photosynthesis

montreal protocol

global collaboration for sustainability

polar regions prevented from getting colder each year because

heat is transported through atmosphere and oceans

global climate change occurs because

increasing GHG's in the troposphere absorb outgoing IR

implicated in human neurological damage

lead

which of the following is implicated in human neurological damage

lead

major health problem because of radon

lung cancer

flammable gas produced by landfill

methane

chlorine released by a CFC and starts a reaction that breaks down

ozone

ghg that forms photochemical smog

ozone

harmful in troposphere but beneficial in stratosphere

ozone

which is considered harmful in the troposphere but beneficial in stratosphere

ozone

electrostatic precipatator is designed to remove

particulates

methane is a GHG

released from anaerobic respiration

earth's tilt causes

season change

if global temps increase

specialists will risk extinctions

region of atmosphere where protective ozone is located

stratosphere

ozone near earths surface is undesirable because it is a

strong respiratory irritant

precursor to acid rain

sulfur dioxide

sea levels rise because of

thermal expansion

el nino occurs in

tropical east pacific

region that contains majority of molecules due to gravity

troposphere

region that is responsible for weather

troposphere

radon comes from

underlying bedrock

most abundant non anthropogenic ghg

water vapor
