Climate Change and Ecology

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. It is released into the atmosphere through human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

Global Warming is the term used to describe the gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.

Climate change is expected to have negative impacts on agricultural productivity, as changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events can disrupt crop growth and yields.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel and is not a renewable energy source.

Evaporation is the process by which heat is transferred from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere.

Oxygen (O2) is not a greenhouse gas.

Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water vapor through their leaves.

Deforestation can lead to a decrease in air quality due to the release of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

Decomposition is the process by which microorganisms break down organic matter into simpler substances.

Geothermal energy is not a type of renewable energy.

Absorption is the process by which plants absorb water from the soil.

Climate change is expected to have negative impacts on agricultural productivity, as changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events can disrupt crop growth and yields.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

Solar energy is not a type of fossil fuel.
