Unit 2 Test Review

Front

What is the impact of volcanic activity on Earth's climate?

Back

Volcanic activity has very little impact on Global Climate Change; in fact, volcanoes release less than a percent of the carbon dioxide released by human activities.

Front

What are the main greenhouse gases emitted by agricultural activities?

Back

Agricultural practices such as rice production and raising livestock contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, raising Earth's temperatures.

Front

What is the role of land change in agriculture regarding greenhouse gas emissions?

Back

Land change for agricultural use contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, raising Earth's temperatures.

Front

What is the impact of cement production on Earth's climate?

Back

Cement production has high fuel requirements and chemical reactions that emit Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere, raising Earth's temperatures.

Front

How does cement production contribute to climate change?

Back

Cement production emits Carbon Dioxide through high fuel requirements and chemical reactions.

Front

What percentage of carbon dioxide released by human activities is attributed to volcanic activity?

Back

Volcanic activity releases less than a percent of the carbon dioxide released by human activities.

Front

Which agricultural practices are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions?

Back

Rice production and raising livestock are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.

Front

What is the relationship between agricultural activities and global warming?

Back

Agricultural activities contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, which raise Earth's temperatures and contribute to global warming.

Front

What are the environmental effects of cement production?

Back

Cement production contributes to climate change by emitting Carbon Dioxide, which raises Earth's temperatures.

Front

What is the significance of methane gas in climate change?

Back

Methane gas is a potent greenhouse gas, but cement production primarily emits Carbon Dioxide.
