How are land, air, water and living things impacted by too much carbon dioxide?

Biology
1 answer:
choli [55]2 years ago

Answer:

- In terrestrial environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increased photosynthetic rate

- In aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increase in water acidity  

- In both terrestrial and aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels lead to an overall increase in the average temperature (global warming)

Explanation:

In terrestrial ecosystems, rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels increase the rate of photosynthesis (since CO2 is one of the reactants in photosynthesis), thereby also increasing plant growth. Moreover, in aquatic ecosystems, rising CO2 concentrations increase the levels of this gas dissolved on the surface of the oceans. This increases the acidity of the oceans, thereby modifying habitats and food web structures. The increasing acidity of the oceans also reduces the amounts of carbonate, which difficult for aquatic species (e.g., corals) to form their shells/skeletons. Finally, CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the increase in the average temperature by absorbing solar radiation that would otherwise have been reflected by the Earth's surface, and this increase in the temperature negatively affects life in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Halons and cfc’s both _______. a. inhibit ozone formation b. cause ozone formation in the troposphere c. destroy ozone in the st
stepladder [879]

Halons and cfc’s both destroy ozone layer in the stratosphere.

  • Chemicals with carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms are known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and they are neither poisonous nor combustible.
  • They are employed as solvents, refrigerants, blowing agents for foams and packaging materials, and in the production of aerosol sprays.
  • Halons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and chlorofluorocarbons all damage the ozone layer, which protects the planet from damaging ultraviolet (UV-B) rays from the sun.
  • Additionally warming the earth's lower atmosphere, CFCs and HCFCs alter the climate on a global scale.
  • Life on earth is made possible by the stratospheric ozone layer, which protects the planet from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) rays.
  • Ozone in the upper atmosphere is destroyed by man-made substances such halons, hydrofluorocarbons, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

Air that resists vertical movement is said to be ________. air that resists vertical movement is said to be ________. anticyclon
Novosadov [1.4K]
Air that resists vertical movement is said to be stable. The vertical movement of air is referred to as convection, while advection involves the horizontal movement of air and heat energy transference, Temperature differences at the Erath's surface occur wherever there are differences in surfaces substances.
