Question

question 48 (1 point) climate change refers to: a short - term daily weather patterns b long - term measurable changes in temperature, winds, precipitation, and extreme weather events c ozone destruction d seasonal rainfall only question 49 (1 point) what happens when more co₂ dissolves in seawater? a deforestation b ozone depletion c ocean acidification d eutrophication question 50 (1 point) habitat fragmentation usually increases biodiversity by connecting habitats. true false

Explanation:

• Question 48: Climate change is about long - term shifts in climate - related factors. Short - term daily weather is not climate change. Ozone destruction is a separate environmental issue and seasonal rainfall alone does not define climate change.
• Question 49: When more CO₂ dissolves in seawater, it reacts to form carbonic acid, leading to ocean acidification. Deforestation is related to land use, ozone depletion is due to certain chemicals, and eutrophication is caused by nutrient runoff.
• Question 50: Habitat fragmentation usually reduces biodiversity by isolating habitats, not connecting them.

Answer:

• Question 48: B. Long - term measurable changes in temperature, winds, precipitation, and extreme weather events
• Question 49: C. Ocean acidification
• Question 50: False
