One proposed method of mitigating climate change is the planting of large numbers
of trees. How would this reduce the problem of global warming?
Trees reflect additional sunlight back into space before it strikes the ground,
reducing the global temperature.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere and thereby reducing the greenhouse effect.
Trees prevent soil erosion, and soil erosion contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Trees release water vapor into the atmosphere, increasing the cloud cover and
reducing the global temperature.
On food labels, we can read the food-calories of the product. The food calorie is written as "Cal" and it corresponds to 1.000 calories with the lower case 'c! In summary, one food-calorie - 1 kcal = 1 Cal = 4.186 Joules
How many Joules will be released by combustion of 1 kg of rice, if rice has 3,200 food-calories per kilogram?
O 1.3 J
O 13,395,200J
O 13J
O 1,340 J
2-) Calculate the resulting CO2
concentration in the atmosphere 30 years
from now assuming that we will use only
coal to generate electricity. Assume
efficiencies of 40 % for power plants. The
current CO2 level in the atmosphere is 370
ppm by volume. Assume that all of the
atmosphere's mass is within 11 km of the
planetary surface. Is this a reasonable
value? If it is not, state some reasons. State
all your assumptions.

It is predicted that humans will have no cholce but to reduce their water footprints in the near future. A water footprint is an estimate of how much water it takes each year to meet the needs of a person, a population, or a country. Currently, the total water footprint of U.S. citizens is 2,487 cubic meters per year per capita (m/yr/ca). This is equivalent to 657,000 gallons/yr/ca, or more than 16,000 bathtubfuls of water per year! From what you know about water footprints, which of the following makes up the majority of the average American's water footprint?
