What are food miles?
The distance food travels from
where it is harvested to where
it is eaten.
What is infrared radiation?
These rays are trapped by certain
gases and lead to global warming.
What is carbon dioxide?
The concentration of this gas
is highly correlated with the
temperature of the Earth
throughout history.
What are carbonates?
The form of carbon sequestered
in the shells of sea creatures.
What is food production?
This stage of bringing food to
the table usually requires the
most energy.
What is albedo?
This property of surfaces
determines how much radiant
energy is reflected.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
This occurs when heat is trapped
by the lack of transparency of
certain gases to infrared radiation.
What are hydrocarbons?
The form of carbon in petroleum.
What is meat?
This type of food requires
the most energy to produce.
What is a positive feedback mechanism.
This type of process occurs when
changes lead to greater changes
(snowball effect)
What are the seasons?
Levels of carbon dioxide rise and
fall according to these time
periods due to the changes in
the quantity of green plants.
What is carbon dioxide?
This form of carbon is present
in the atmosphere.
What is vertical farming?
A type of farming that is emerging
in urban areas as one possible
solution to future food shortages.
What are fossil fuels?
Using these for fuel releases
carbon dioxide that has been
sequestered for millions of years.
What are biofuels?
These fuels release carbon
dioxide that was sequestered
recently.
What are carbohydrates and starches?
Carbon exists primarily in
these forms in plants.
What is food transported?
Reasons include feeding densely
populated areas, providing out
of season foods, specializing the
growing of certain foods in the
most suitable climates.
What is the hydrological cycle?
As the Earth warms this
becomes more intense resulting
in storms with more energy.
What are droughts? What are floods?
Because of climate change, these
phenomena are predicted
to be more severe and last
longer leading to crop failures.
What is coal?
This is almost pure carbon.
