When we think about the carbon cycle and human activities, it is important to differentiate between facts and
hypotheses. Which of the answer choices can be considered a fact? Select all that apply.
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees
Celsius over the next century.
In the past, atmospheric CO₂ levels rose higher than those observed today.
The burning of fossil fuels contributes substantially to the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2-
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased since 1950.
Without naturally occurring greenhouse gases, Earth's average global temperature would be near 0°F (or -18°C) instead of the actual value of 59°F (15°C). How do atmospheric greenhouse gases warm Earth? Do not use the word “trapped” in your answer
Dangerous Paint Stripper Jessica has a summer job working for the
city parks program. She has been using a cleaner called “Graffiti Gone” to
remove graffiti from the bathrooms. She has to take a lot of breaks, because
the chemical makes her throat burn. It also makes her feel dizzy sometimes,
especially when the bathrooms don’t have very many windows. On the label, she
sees that the cleaner has methylene chloride in it. She feels like she’s
managing to get the work done, but she is worried about feeling dizzy. She
wants to find out more about this chemical, what harm it can cause, and
whether there are safer ways to do this work.

- A piece of news reported that Jenjarom, a town located in the Kuala Langat District, is now smothered in 17,000 tonnes (17mil kg) of plastic waste. There were 33 illegal factories in Kuala Langat, the district Jenjarom is located in. Some sprang up nearby dense palm oil plantations, whereas others were closer to town. The smell started a while ago but got worse around August this year. People in the town started to feel unwell and would keep coughing. These illegal recycling plants choose to dispose of plastic a cheaper way - either burying it or burning it causing fumes - so hazardous that some people even coughed up blood clots while some could not sleep at night because of the smelly air. Children were also affected, especially those who lived nearest to the factories in Jenjarom. There were reports some children developed really bad rashes around their stomach, neck, legs, and arms. Their skin would keep peeling, even when touched by people, and hurtful. The smell was far and wide…arrow_forward2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forwardPlease answer all.

Make sure to put it in your own words. This is the story of three plastic bottles, empty and discarded. Their journeys are about to diverge with outcomes that impact nothing less than the fate of the planet. But they weren't always this way. To understand where these bottles end up, we must first explore their origins. The heroes of our story were conceived in this oil refinery. The plastic in their bodies was formed by chemically bonding oil and gas molecules together to make monomers. In turn, these monomers were bonded into long polymer chains to make plastic in the form of millions of pellets. Those were melted at manufacturing plants and reformed in molds to create the resilient material that makes up the triplets' bodies. Machines filled the bottles with sweet bubbly liquid and they were then wrapped, shipped, bought, opened, consumed and unceremoniously discarded. And now here they…arrow_forward
