Q

Carbon cycle

A

-Cellular respiration and photosynthesis(autotrophs):
1.Take in Co2
2.Sequester (store) it
3. Make sugar

  • Cellular Respiration(heterotrophs):
    1.eat sugar
    2.exhale Co2

Q

greenhouse effect importance

A

-Greenhouse effect is important because it keeps the earth at a livable heat

-Human enhanced greenhouse is bad because it creates more chemicals in the atmosphere making the earth hotter

16
Q

global warming

A

rising of global temperature

17
Q

climate change

A

the effect of global warming and the earth getting hotter

18
Q

Evidence for Human-Induced Climate Change:

A

They found out that humans cause more climate change by testing the ice and seeing that there is more co2 in the most recent/closest layer to the surface.

19
Q

Consequences of climate change:

A

-Temperature will rise (severe weather)
-Glacial and ice capsule will melt
-Sea levels will rise
-Economic losses
-Agriculture (crop being wiped out, reduced yield)

20
Q

Behaviors that can reduce climate change:

A

-Ride bike, stop using cars
-Use solar panels
-Reuse and recycle
-Walk
-Compost
-use less technology

21
Q

why climate change is not a debate

A

climate change is a fact, factual
