imports and exports, Internet
and “push and pull”.
What is Movement?
Kingston is
42.3ON and 77.6OW
What is Location?
Political divisions, tribal
divisions, languages, number
of religions or vegetation
zones.
What is Region?
Global Warming, flood
damage and Ozone Depletion
What is
Human-Environment
Interactions?
CO2, CH4 and NOX
What are
Greenhouse Gases?
The layers of gas
surrounding the Earth
What is
the atmosphere?
Without this, the Earth would
be 33OC colder
What is
the Greenhouse Effect?
From atmosphere to
terrestrial to within ground or
ocean and back to
atmosphere.
What is
the Carbon Cycle?
When this is done to fossil
fuels such as coal, oil and
gas, the by-product or
“waste” is carbon dioxide.
What is
combustion (or burning)?
CFCs reacting with O3.
What is
depletion of the ozone layer?
The ongoing, long-term
changes in climate, including
average temperature and
precipitation, as well as
changes in the seasonal or
geographic variability of
temperature and precipitation.
What is
Climate Change?
Many people think incorrectly
that it is the most common
element in Earth’s
atmosphere.
What is oxygen?
Many people incorrectly
believe it is only caused by
humans.
What is
Global Warming?
Many people think incorrectly
that this effect is entirely
anthropogenic
(i.e., made by humans)
What is
the Greenhouse Effect?
To be maintained at a certain
level indefinitely
What is sustainability?
The natural ability of trees,
other plants and the soil to
soak up carbon dioxide and
temporarily store the carbon
in wood, roots,
leaves and the soil.
What is
a Carbon Sink?
The average pattern of
weather for a particular
region.
What is climate?
Oil, coal and natural gas that
originates from decayed
plants and animals.
What are
Fossil Fuels?
A resource such as
water that can be
used continuously
without being

because it regenerates

energy consumed in a
washing machine to heat
the water?
What is 92%?

consumption by one
person in Canada each
day?
What is 300 L?
The amount of CO2
in weight
a car emits each year.
What is
3X the weight of the car?
The percent reduction in
present global CO2
emissions needed to
stabilize atmospheric CO2
concentrations at current
levels?
What is
between 50 and 60%?
5.2% below 1990 levels
by 2010
What is the Kyoto Protocol
average annual emissions
target?
