FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the main sources of carbon emissions?

Back

The main sources of carbon emissions include burning fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, and certain agricultural practices.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

Back

Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, leading to higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What role do oceans play in the carbon cycle?

Back

Oceans absorb a significant amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, acting as a carbon sink. They also release CO2 back into the atmosphere.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor in the atmosphere.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures?

Back

Higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are closely related to increases in global temperatures, as CO2 traps heat.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, effectively removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
