Ch.19 APES Study Guide: Global Warming and Ozone Loss Vocabulary: Global warming Global cooling Glacial and interglacial periods Greenhouse effect Greenhouse gases Ozone depleting compounds Ozone hole Ozone thinning Global climate change Review Questions: Must answer in complete sentences. 1. Describe the greenhouse effect and what the Earth would be like without a greenhouse effect. 2. List the two predominant greenhouse gases. 3. List four greenhouse gases, which have risen in the last few decades. 4. List four human activities, which contribute greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. 5. Distinguish between greenhouse effect and global warming. 6. Describe the pattern of the earth's average surface-temperature fluctuation throughout geologic time. 7. Describe the period the earth has been experiencing for the last 10,000 years. 8. Describe the general trend of mean global temperature since 1860. List two factors other than the greenhouse effect that may have contributed to the general temperature change. 9. State the consensus science view about the relationship between observed temperature changes and the likelihood of global climate change brought on by human activities. 10. Briefly describe projections of the major climate models regarding changes in mean surface temperature and average sea level. 11. State the range of temperature change, which could cause real damage to ecosystems. Explain why a range so seemingly small can have such major consequences. 12. Summarize the projections of possible effects of global warming on (a) food production, (b) water supplies, (c) forests, (d) biodiversity, (e) sea levels, (f) weather extremes, (g) human health, and (h) environmental refugees. 13. Describe two schools of thought about global warming and how we as a human society should act. List strategies which would slow potential global warming, including both prevention and cleanup approaches. 14. What is currently being done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions around the world? 15. Summarize the Kyoto protocol. 16. How can you as an individual reduce your CO2 emissions? 17. Describe the origin of stratospheric ozone and the role it plays in protecting life on Earth. Briefly describe changes that have been occurring in stratospheric ozone. 18. Explain the potential consequences of ozone depletion. Propose three ways for slowing these changes. 19. What can be done and what has been done to protect the Ozone layer?
