9. The ocean’s ________ currents help to __________ the __________ of Earth’s heat.
10. Circle the true statement:
The global conveyor belt is a system of wind currents that transfer heat between the equator and the poles.
The global conveyor belt is a system of ocean currents that transfer heat between the equator and the poles.
11. The _______ _______ carries warm water towards _______ & Greenland making parts of _________ _________ milder.

1 answer

  1. People release the carbon from fossil fuels to the atmosphere quickly for transportation and energy.

  2. Define respiration: Respiration is a biological process in which organisms convert glucose and oxygen into energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

  3. Matching:

  • Release CO2 into Atmosphere: Burning Fossil Fuels
  • Equilibrium ex. Carbon Cycle in the ocean: Exchange CO2
  • Photosynthesis & Creation of Limestone: Cycle CO2 Out of Atmosphere
  • Ocean Warming: Melting of glaciers & Polar Ice Caps
  • Ocean Acidification: CO2 absorption is more difficult

  1. Complete the statement: Carbon is exchanged, cycled in & out of the atmosphere B. with an ever increasing level of Carbon.

  2. Define Greenhouse Gas: A greenhouse gas is a gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Common greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which absorb and emit infrared radiation.

  3. Compare Evidences of Ocean Warming to Ocean Acidification:

    • Coral & clams struggle to form shells: D. Increased carbonic acid
    • Melting of glaciers & Polar Ice Caps: E. Increased illness in organisms
    • CO2 absorption is more difficult: F. ocean volume increasing

  4. The ocean’s currents help to distribute the heat of Earth’s heat.

  5. Circle the true statement:

  • The global conveyor belt is a system of ocean currents that transfer heat between the equator and the poles. (This statement is true.)
  1. The Gulf Stream carries warm water towards Europe & Greenland making parts of Northwestern Europe milder.
