Climate Change (MC & SA On Final) Flashcards
1
Q
How can climate change occur from natural causes?
A
Volcanic eruptions (adding greenhouse gas), solar activity via-rations, and changes in the earths orbit.
2
Q
Which human activities increase the rate of climate change?
A
Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial emissions, and agriculture.
3
Q
How are humans activities increasing the rate of climate change? Make reference to albedo effect and greenhouse gas
A
We increase greenhouse gas trapping more heat. Deforestation & global temperature reduce the albedo effect by decreasing surfaces, causing more heat absorption.
