Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, Earth's atmospheric temperature has been increasing. This causes most of the heat trapped by GHG is also absorbed by oceans. , True, False, Water in the oceans is constantly moving around the world. This large-scale movement of water is known as the:, Global Ocean Movement, Global Ocean Circulation , Global Ocean Circulation happens because warm surface water moves from the _____________., Equator , Poles, Because of climate change, Global Ocean Circulation is expected to ____________, Speed up , Slow Down, Climate change will also changes in precipitation whereby there will only be an increase in excessive rainfall and not droughts. , False, True, An increase in evaporation will result in more intense rainfall events in some areas and prolonged droughts in others., True, False, The phenomenon which causes algae to leave corals due to increase in ocean temperatures is known as: , Ocean Acidification , Carbon Sinks , Coral Bleaching, When corals die, ecosystem species will lose their food source and habitat, causing their populations to decline. , False , True, The phenomenon which is caused by the increase in carbon dioxide emissions lead to oceans absorbing excessive amounts of carbon dioxide. , Carbon Sinks , Ocean Acidification, Ocean Alkalinefication , Carbonic Acids will dissolve ____________, which is needed by aquatic organisms such as corals, mussels and oysters to form their skeletons and shells. , Carbonic Acid, Calcium Bicarbonate, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Oxide , Due to warming oceans, aquatic species will not migrate to areas where temperatures are move favourable. , True, False, With this migration, how will it change the composition of aquatic ecosystems? , The population of prey may increase , Decrease in competition for food , The population of predators may increase, Species that are unable to migrate or move may go extinct , Population of the species may decline , Some species may flourish , Terrestrial species will migrate towards lower latitudes and altitudes where temperatures are warmer. , True , False, With this migration, how will it change the composition of terrestrial ecosystems? , The population of prey may increase , Decrease in competition for food , The population of predators may increase, Species that are unable to migrate or move may go extinct , Population of the species may decline , Some species may flourish , With increased occurrences of droughts, what will happen to terrestrial ecosystems?, Plans will not be able to move elsewhere to get water , Plants will increase their rate of photosynthesis., Weakened plants are more vulnerable to diseases and insect attacks., Plants will wither and die. , Habitats get damaged and food supplies may decline. , Some species may not be able to adapt and may become extinct. , With increased occurrences of droughts, what kind of diseases may spread? , Dengue, Botulism , Cholera, Haemophilia, Intense rainfall can result in floods, destroying habitats and causing terrestrial species to drown and survive. , True, False.
