Apes Review Unit 9

The "good" ozone (90% of ALL O₃) on Earth is located in the

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Asthenosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

Particulate matter can increase global warming by

• reacting with chlorofluorocarbons

• reducing surface absorption of ultraviolet radiation

• producing additional nitrous oxides

• reflecting radiation

• lowering surface albedo

Which is an example of a negative feedback?

• higher air temperatures cause increased ocean evaporation

• higher air temperatures cause increased decomposition in soils

• lower concentrations of CO₂ cause increased absorption of oceanic CO₂

• low albedo causes decreased reflection of sunlight

• higher CO₂ concentrations cause increased photosynthesis
