How do we know the carbon increase is due to fossil fuels?
A) C13 does up, C12 goes down
B) C12 and C 13 stay the same
C) C12 goes up, C13 goes down
15 answers
The correct answer is C) C12 goes up, C13 goes down. This is based on the isotopic composition, or the ratio of different isotopes of carbon in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide emitted from burning fossil fuels has a different isotopic composition compared to natural sources of carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are predominantly composed of carbon-12 (C12), and when they are burned, the released carbon dioxide has a higher concentration of C12 compared to the atmosphere. As a result, the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels leads to an increase in the concentration of C12. Simultaneously, the concentration of carbon-13 (C13), which is relatively higher in the atmosphere, decreases because fossil fuels have a lower concentration of C13. By measuring the isotopic composition of carbon in the atmosphere, scientists can determine the contribution of fossil fuels to the overall increase in carbon dioxide levels.
According to the video, what countries have been impacted by multi-year droughts?
A) Western United States and countries in Southern and Eastern Africa
B) Europe and Western Asia
C) Western Canada and Eastern India
A) Western United States and countries in Southern and Eastern Africa
B) Europe and Western Asia
C) Western Canada and Eastern India
The correct answer is A) Western United States and countries in Southern and Eastern Africa. The video mentions that these regions have experienced multi-year droughts, which have had severe impacts on agriculture, water supplies, and ecosystems.
According to the video, Indonesian rainforests and Oregon's coastal forests are being ravaged and destroyed by what? Choose the best answer.
A) wildfires
B) hurricanes
C) flooding
D) drought
A) wildfires
B) hurricanes
C) flooding
D) drought
The correct answer is A) wildfires. The video states that Indonesian rainforests and Oregon's coastal forests are being ravaged and destroyed by wildfires. These wildfires have become more frequent and intense due to climate change, resulting in significant ecological and environmental damage.
Warmer surface temperature will result in warmer oceans and hotter summers, which will result in which of the following? Choose 3 correct answers.
A) larger storms
B) longer droughts
C) fewer hurricanes
D) bigger wildfires
E) no more snow storms
F) shorter droughts
A) larger storms
B) longer droughts
C) fewer hurricanes
D) bigger wildfires
E) no more snow storms
F) shorter droughts
The correct answers are A) larger storms, B) longer droughts, and D) bigger wildfires. Warmer surface temperatures have a direct impact on the climate system, leading to increased evaporation from the oceans and higher atmospheric moisture content. This can result in larger storms, such as hurricanes and severe thunderstorms. Additionally, warmer temperatures can lead to extended periods of dryness and reduced soil moisture, leading to longer droughts. The combination of higher temperatures, dry conditions, and increased fuel availability can also contribute to the occurrence of larger and more intense wildfires. Therefore, options A), B), and D) are the correct choices.
According to the video, what is the percent increase in wildfire since 1980 because of climate change?
A) 10%
B) 20%
C) 15%
D) 5%
A) 10%
B) 20%
C) 15%
D) 5%
The correct answer is C) 15%. According to the video, there has been a 15% increase in wildfire since 1980 as a result of climate change.
I believe the answer is 20% according to the Climate Change NOW video on YouTube.
