Study Notes
Climate Change
- Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas responsible for trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
- The primary cause of climate change is the increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly due to human activities.
Deforestation and Climate Change
- Deforestation contributes to climate change by releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere and reducing the ability of forests to act as carbon sinks.
Contributors to Climate Change
- Burning of fossil fuels is a significant factor contributing to climate change.
- Human activity, specifically the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), is a significant contributor to the depletion of the ozone layer.
Ocean Acidification
- The primary cause of ocean acidification is the absorption of increasing amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which reacts with water to form acid.
