Q.
A family of organic compounds whose properties make them ideal for use in refrigeration, air-conditioning, and aerosols; cause ozone depletion
5
30 sec
Q.
chlorine atoms contained in the compounds are highly reactive; they interact with Ozone (O3) by stripping off one Oxygen molecule, leaving behind O2.
6

Q.
by replacing ozone-depleting chemicals with substitutes that do not deplete the ozone layer such as Hydrofluorocarbons (HCFs)

Q.
it doesn't contribute significantly to global climate change because it has a short residence time in the atmosphere (weighs more than gas)
14
30 sec
Q.
GWP of 1; is used as a reference point for the comparison of different greenhouse gases and their impacts on global climate change
15
30 sec
Q.
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are over 10,000x as strong as CO2
16
30 sec
Q.
the greenhouse effect results in the surface temperature necessary for life on Earth to exist but trapping in heat which would otherwise escape in the absence of the sun
17
30 sec
Q.
25 times that of Carbon Dioxide
18
30 sec
Q.
rising sea levels, melting ice sheets, increased ocean temperatures and acidity, spreading of disease from the tropics toward the poles, melting permafrost, increased atmospheric temperatures
19

Q.
Carbon Dioxide data and ice cores
20

Q.
newly created habitats on now-flooded continental shelves
21
30 sec
Q.
deeper communities that may no longer be in the photic zone of seawater
22
30 sec
Q.
can change circulation patterns, as temperature changes may impact Hadley cells and the jet stream
23
30 sec
Q.
they are considered the ocean conveyor belt and carry heat throughout the world; changing currents can have a big impact on global climate, especially in costal regions
24
30 sec
Q.
changing temperatures and amount of rainfall can impact soil's viability and potentially increase erosion
25
30 sec
Q.
Earth's polar regions are showing faster response times to global climate change
26
30 sec
Q.
ice and snow in these regions reflect the most energy back out to space, leading to a positive feedback loop
27
30 sec
Q.
less solar energy is radiated back into space and instead is absorbed by the Earth's surface. this in turn causes more warming of the polar regions
28
30 sec
Q.
positive feedback loops involving melting sea ice and thawing tundra, and subsequent release of greenhouse gases like methane
29
30 sec
Q.
the ability of a surface to reflect away solar radiation; measured from 0 to 1 with 0 being a pitch black surface (0% reflected) and 1 being a completely white surface (100% reflected)
30
30 sec
Q.
the effect on species that depend on the ice for habitat and food
31
30 sec
Q.
the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
32
30 sec
Q.
loss of habitat, and metabolic and reproductive changes; may displace some species and cause them to migrate in new patterns
33
30 sec
Q.
caused by increased ocean temperatures; causes algae within corals to die and the corals bleach white; some corals recover and some die
34
30 sec
Q.
the decrease in pH of the oceans, primarily due to increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere
35
30 sec
Q.
CO2 + H2O -> (H+) + (HCO3-); Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), a weak acid that breaks (or "dissociates") into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-).
36
30 sec
Q.
absorb a large part of that carbon dioxide and become more acidic
37
30 sec
Q.
scale with values from 0 to 14, used to measure the concentration of H+ ions in a solution; a pH of less than 7 is acidic, a pH of 7 is neutral, and a pH of greater than 7 is basic
38
30 sec
Q.
derived from human activities
39
30 sec
Q.
lead to increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere: burning of fossil fuels, vehicle emissions, and deforestation
40
30 sec
Q.
acidification makes it difficult for them to form shells, due to the loss of calcium carbonate
41
30 sec
Q.
species that can live and sometimes thrive, outside of their normal habitat; they can sometimes be beneficial but they are considered invasive when they threaten native species
42
30 sec
Q.
generalists; they thrive in a variety of habitats and can survive off a variety of foods
43
30 sec
Q.
r-selected; they reproduce frequently and produce a large amount of offspring when they do reproduce; therefore they may outcompete native species for resources
