Flashcards on Climate Change and Biology
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is climate change?
Climate change refers to long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other aspects of the Earth's climate system.
How does climate change affect biodiversity?
Climate change can lead to habitat loss, shifts in species distribution, and increased extinction rates.
What is the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the trapping of heat in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
How does climate change impact agriculture?
Climate change can affect crop yields, water availability, and the prevalence of pests and diseases.
What are some human activities that contribute to climate change?
Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes release greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
What is the role of biology in studying climate change?
Biology helps understand the impact of climate change on species, ecosystems, and the overall environment.
What are climate change indicators?
Climate change indicators are measurable observations that provide evidence of climate change, such as rising temperatures and sea levels.
How does climate change affect marine ecosystems?
Climate change can cause coral bleaching, ocean acidification, and disrupt marine food webs.
What is adaptation in the context of climate change?
Adaptation refers to actions and strategies taken to adjust to changing climate conditions and minimize negative impacts.
What is mitigation in the context of climate change?
Mitigation refers to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the extent of future climate change.
What is the carbon footprint?
The carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, or product.
What are some potential solutions to combat climate change?
Renewable energy adoption, afforestation, and sustainable agriculture are among the solutions to combat climate change.
What are the main factors contributing to climate change?
Increased greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and changes in land use are the main factors contributing to climate change.
How does climate change impact human health?
Climate change can lead to increased heat-related illnesses, spread of infectious diseases, and impacts on mental health.
What is the role of genetics in studying climate change?
Genetics helps understand how species may adapt or evolve in response to changing environmental conditions due to climate change.
