Question 1

Question
What is Deforestation?
Answer
  • The action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it away to another location.
  • The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.
  • A type of land degradation in which a relatively dry land region becomes increasingly arid, typically losing its bodies of water as well as vegetation and wildlife.
  • A population shift from rural to urban areas

Question 2

Question
What is Urbanization?
Answer
  • A population shift from rural to urban areas
  • The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.
  • The action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it away to another location.
  • A type of land degradation in which a relatively dry land region becomes increasingly arid, typically losing its bodies of water as well as vegetation and wildlife.

Question 3

Question
What is Erosion?
Answer
  • The term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth's climate.
  • The action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it away to another location.
  • Clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land.
  • None of the Above

Question 4

Question
What is Desertification?
Answer
  • A population shift from rural to urban areas
  • The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.
  • Clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land.
  • None of the Above

Question 5

Question
What is Global Warming?
Answer
  • Clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land.
  • The action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it away to another location.
  • The term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth's climate.
  • None of the above
