Does social distancing increase or decrease your carbon footprint?

Biology
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

The carbon footprint is <u>the amount of carbon (in terms of greenhouse gases) being emitted by human activities</u>. In a situation where <u>social distancing is encouraged, human activity would reduce significantly</u>. Very few people will be outside and the causative agents of pollution (anthropogenic) will be significantly reduced. Further, nature would be able to minimize the impacts of pollution when human activities are less than the threshold capacity.

Let's take an example of coronavirus spread globally this year. The social distancing of 2 meters has significantly reduced the number of people going outside. Ultimately, there are fewer automobiles on the roads and a few industries are running. The result is that the air quality index has been significantly improved. For example, in India, people from 300 km away, can see the Himalayan mountain range very clearly (see image attached). This has not happened in decades after modern industrialization.

1. How does our ecological footprint affect each of the spheres on Earth?
Viefleur [7K]
Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth

The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)

The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)

The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)


The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres

The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)

The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere

Answer:

A) Ice cream starts dripping down the sides of an ice cream cone: melting

B) Fog is created by using dry ice:  sublimation

C) Frost forms on trees on a very cold day: deposition

D) The mirror gets fogged up when you breathe on it: condensation

E) Your wet hair dries after a few minutes: evaporation

F) Liquid glass cools and hardens : freezing

Explanation:

Sublimation process where solid state changes to gaseous state by escaping liquid state.

Deposition process where gaseous state changes to solid state by escaping liquid state.

Condensation process where gaseous state changes to liquid state.

Melting is the process where solid state changes to liquid state.

Evaporation process is a process where liquid state changes to gaseous state.

Freezing is the process in which liquid changes to solid state.
