SUS1501 Portfolio on Sustainability and Greed Exam Questions and Answers 100%
Correct Graded A+ 2026/27
greenhouse effect - allows energy from the sun to pass through earth and then escape into
space regulating the climate
greenhouse gases - Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
chloroflurocarbons, and ozone in the atmosphere which are involved in the greenhouse effect
that trap earths heat energy preventing it from passing into sapce
carbon dioxide - makes up 80% of greenhouse gases
carbon sink - a forest, ocean, or other natural environment viewed in terms of its ability to
absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
united states and china - largest carbon emissions per capita
largest carbon emissions
methane - released by natural gas leaks, coal minining, decompision of organic matter,
and animal digestion. Accounts for around 10% of emissions and 20% of all global warming.
more potent than co2
nitrous oxide - byproduct of fossil fuel and bacterial reactions.
, ozone depleting substances (CFCS and HFCS) - human made chemicals like Freon are
strongest insulators of ghgs and live in the atmosphere.
montreal protocol 1987 - 25 countries to stop productions of ODS and has worked to
decrease level
measuring climate change - measured the changes in surface, atmoshphereic, and oceanic
temperatures
ocean acidification - oceans absorb CO2 like a mop but in turn makes oceans more acidic
and kills coral feefs and intereferes with shell formation
climate change effects - species loss and sea level ris, droughts, extreme weather for food
production, acidic enviornment on fisheries, and frequent weather will threaten vulnerable
communities in events like wildfires, landslides, and droughts leading to enviornment refugees.
climate change inequities - some communities are more affected, despite often having the
least emissions, and are typically marginalized low income communities
ex subsistence farmers that rely on agricultural outputs affected by droughts and storm surges
climate migrants - are interally displaced meaning they stay within their countrys borders
