what are long-term impacts of hurricanes on the environment? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: 0.67 of 1 massive fish die offs could occur. earth's coastal landscapes could be reshaped. which actions would reduce someone's carbon footprint? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: 0.67 of 1 carpooling switching to solar energy what is the environmental effect related to chlorofluorocarbons (cfcs)? - Correct Ans: depletion of the ozone layer which answers are a point source of pollution? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: coal mine solid waste incinerator wastewater treatment facility which answers are the results of eutrophication? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: increased algae populations decreased dissolved oxygen
why is it necessary to treat wastewater before releasing it into the environment? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: 0.25 of 1 correct: to remove pollutants incorrect: to replace harmful bacteria with beneficial bacteria in what way can recycling reduce human impact on the environment? - Correct Ans: by providing a supply of materials for new products what is the best way to dispose of rechargeable batteries? - Correct Ans: recycling what are benefits of incinerating waste? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: fewer items end up in landfills. it allows for recovery of energy. what does the montreal protocol do? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: phases out the use of cfc limits substances that deplete the ozone layer what are the goals of the kyoto protocol? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: reduce greenhouse gas emissions increase absorption of greenhouse gases prepare policies and measures to decrease greenhouse gases which describes renewable resources? - Correct Ans: resources that can be replenished by natural processes in a reasonably short period of time
correct: in another example, a popular mining method in the us is open-pit mining. incorrect: different methods of management of these land types have different effects on the environment. incorrect: rotating grazing animals can reduce these effects. incorrect: while it is an effective way of gaining mineral resources, it has some negative effects like the removal of vegetation, which leads to soil erosion and increased runoff. which are environmental effects of acid rain? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: increases water acidity decreases trees' ability to grow how has the burning of fossil fuels impacted the carbon cycle? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: 0.67 of 1 increased amounts of co2 in the atmosphere increased amounts of carbonic acid in the ocean describe the effects of the use of chemical fertilizers in farming. select all that apply. - Correct Ans: 0.25 of 1 incorrect: it increases soil ph correct: it improves short-term soil fertility. complete the response to the following statements about urbanization and its impacts on natural populations. - Correct Ans: increased, reduced, increased, increased
why does an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere result in more violent hurricanes? - Correct Ans: carbon dioxide in the atmosphere absorbs light energy and reflects it back to earth. this energy is transformed into thermal energy in the earth's oceans. hurricanes get kinetic energy for their motion from the thermal energy of the water. warmer oceans cause more violent hurricanes. how do external events impact global temperatures? - Correct Ans: changes in the earth's axis cause a redistribution of solar energy, which impact global temperatures. what explains a way in which humans impact global temperatures? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: cement production because it releases co burning of fossil fuels because it releases co urbanization because it decreases reflective surfaces if co2 concentrations in the air continue to increase, what effects might we see in the oceans? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: ocean water will become more acidic. increased solubility of carbonates will occur. populations of photosynthetic algae will increase. which are renewable resources? select all that apply. - Correct Ans: forests freshwater solar energy which correctly describes a nonrenewable resource and how to reduce its use so that reserves of the resource can be sustained? - Correct Ans: XXX coal; increase the use of electric cars
