APES Air Pollution Questions with correct Answers 2024 Carbon Monoxide is extremely damaging to human blood Montreal Protocol 1987 nations agreed to cut CFC production in half, ozone is recovering Thermal Inversion occurs when a layer of warm air settles over a layer of cooler air that lies near the ground. The warm air holds down the cool air and prevents pollutants from rising and scattering. exacerbates pollution By product of feedlots, chemical manufacturing, auto em...

UNIT 5 APES TESTSoil Salinization Correlation - correct answer The more salt in the soil, the less seeds will germinate There is usually a point where none will germinate - about 1%NaCl Photosynthesis equation - correct answer 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 How does cutting down trees affect atmospheric carbon? How does burning trees affect atmospheric carbon? - correct answer → It causes for less photosynthesis to occur which releases less oxygen into the atmosphere and leaves m...

APES - Unit 4 Questions with correct answers 2024/2025 already passedBriefly describe the structure of the atmosphere, being sure to include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and the boundaries between each set of layers. - correct answer Troposphere: atmospheric layer closest to the earth's surface; layer in which weather occurs; ozone layer separates the troposphere and stratosphere Stratosphere: location of ozone layer; "global sunscreen", prevents harmful UV radiation from ge...

APES Pollution Questions with correct Answers 2024 Troposphere The atmospheric layer closest to the earth's surface. Contains 75-80% of the earth's air mass and extends 11 miles about the earth's surface. Stratosphere The second layer in the atmosphere and extends 11-30 miles above the Earth and has a higher concentration of Ozone than the Troposphere. How is Ozone produced? When oxygen interacts with Ultraviolet radiation. What does ozone protect us from? Sunburn, c...
