Flashcards on Climate Change and Biology
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is climate change?
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns on Earth.
How does climate change affect biological ecosystems?
Climate change can disrupt ecosystems by altering temperature, precipitation, and habitats.
What are some examples of the impacts of climate change on organisms?
Examples include changes in migration patterns, phenology, and species distributions.
How does climate change impact plant growth and productivity?
Climate change can affect plant growth by altering photosynthesis rates and water availability.
What are some strategies for adapting to climate change in agriculture?
Strategies include developing drought-tolerant crops and implementing water management techniques.
How does climate change impact wildlife and biodiversity?
Climate change can lead to habitat loss, species extinction, and disruptions in food webs.
What is the relationship between climate change and disease spread?
Climate change can affect the geographic range and transmission of diseases.
What are some actions individuals can take to mitigate climate change's impact on biology?
Actions include reducing carbon emissions, conserving energy, and supporting sustainable practices.
How does climate change affect ocean ecosystems?
Climate change can cause ocean acidification, coral bleaching, and disruptions to marine food chains.
What are the potential consequences of climate change for human health?
Consequences can include increased heat-related illnesses, changes in disease patterns, and food insecurity.
What is the role of biology in studying and addressing climate change?
Biology provides insights into how organisms and ecosystems respond to climate change and informs conservation strategies.
How do greenhouse gases contribute to climate change?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to a warming effect on Earth's surface.
What are some human activities that contribute to climate change?
Activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes release greenhouse gases.
What is the greenhouse effect and its role in climate change?
The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gases trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
How can climate change impact agricultural productivity?
Climate change can lead to decreased crop yields, changes in growing seasons, and increased pest pressure.
