EVR 1001 Final Exam Questions With
|| || || || || ||
Correct Answers || ||
What do we know about Climate Change? - CORRECT
|| || || || || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅1. Climate change impacts will vary by || || || || || || ||
region
2. Climate change already appears to be causing an
|| || || || || || || || ||
increase in extreme events || || ||
3. The ocean is becoming more acidic
|| || || || || ||
4. Sea level is rising
|| || || ||
Where are species' ranges shifting towards due to climate
|| || || || || || || ||
change? - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅The poles and
|| || || || || || ||
higher elevation ||
Seasonal Timing - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅migration
|| || || || ||
and feeding
||
What is true about seasonal timing? - CORRECT
|| || || || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅it is shifting || ||
What causes ocean acidification? - CORRECT
|| || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅The absorption of roughly 1/4 of the || || || || || || ||
CO2 that is in the atmosphere into the ocean.
|| || || || || || || ||
,Why is ocean acidification harmful? - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅It dissolves calcium carbonate, which || || || || ||
makes up the shells of many marine organisms such as
|| || || || || || || || || ||
corals, clams, oysters, crabs, and mussels. Could
|| || || || || || ||
potentially destroy major commercial fisheries || || || ||
What climate change impacts are harmful to coral reefs: -
|| || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅the warming of water causes
|| || || || || ||
coral bleaching and strong storms are physically
|| || || || || || ||
damaging
Phenology - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅The study of || || || || || ||
cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena (e.g. on what
|| || || || || || || ||
date does a plant usually begin to form flowers or
|| || || || || || || || || ||
leaves?) ||
*Changing due to climate change (plants are leaving|| || || || || || || ||
earlier, insects hatching earlier, birds migrating earlier,
|| || || || || || ||
animals breeding earlier) || ||
Why is hard to assess the impacts of climate change? -
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅Because many things are
|| || || || ||
changing at once || ||
Polar amplification (arctic intensification) - CORRECT
|| || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅Changes in radiative forcing tend to || || || || || ||
,have greater expression (e.g. increased warming) in polar
|| || || || || || ||
regions; the poles will warm faster than the equatorial
|| || || || || || || || || ||
regions.
What causes polar amplification - CORRECT
|| || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅1. Decreased snow and ice cover that || || || || || || ||
decrease the albedo in polar regions || || || || ||
2. Increased cloud cover that traps heat
|| || || || || ||
3. Increased transport of heat (by ocean currents and
|| || || || || || || || ||
atmospheric circulation) to the poles || || || ||
Where is some of the most rapid warming on the planet
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
experienced? - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅In the Western || || || || ||
Antarctic Peninsula
|| ||
Climate Change Impacts on Society: - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅1. Ocean acidification could destroy || || || || ||
major commercial fisheries
|| ||
2. droughts and flooding are leading to agricultural losses
|| || || || || || || ||
3. Sea level rise will displace people and cause escalating
|| || || || || || || || || ||
expense
4. More intense storms are causing more property
|| || || || || || || ||
damage and loss of life || || || ||
5. Farmers and foresters are struggling with altered
|| || || || || || || ||
growing seasons and disturbance regimes
|| || || || ||
, 6.Crop yields will likely fall in the dry tropics and
|| || || || || || || || || ||
subtropics
Climate Change Impacts on Society pt. 2: - CORRECT
|| || || || || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅1. Impacts on biodiversity will cause || || || || || ||
losses of food, water, and ecosystem goods and services
|| || || || || || || ||
2. Melting of mountain glaciers will reduce water supplies
|| || || || || || || || ||
to millions
||
3. Economic costs will far outweigh benefits.
|| || || || || ||
4. Poorer nations and communities are suffering greater
|| || || || || || || ||
impacts
5. Increased warm-weather health hazards will outweigh
|| || || || || || ||
decreased cold-weather hazards || ||
How much of the world's population lives in regions that
|| || || || || || || || || ||
depend on mountain meltwater? - CORRECT
|| || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅1/6th
Causes of Sea Level Rise - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅1.Thermal Expansion (warm water is || || || || ||
less dense than cold water)
|| || || ||
2.Glacier Melt (adds water from continent interiors)
|| || || || || || ||
3.Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (exacerbated by || || || || || || ||
Arctic intensification)
|| ||
