Question

question 41 (2 points) listen the full effects of global warming will not manifest themselves for decades because of: 1) greenhouse gases take time to warm the earth 2) the ice capes act as cooling agent for the time being 3) the ozone layer will not break down for another few decades 4) the oceans are relatively slow to respond to temperature changes

Explanation:

The oceans have a high heat - capacity and are slow to change temperature. This delays the full manifestation of global warming effects. Greenhouse gases are already warming the Earth, ice caps are melting due to warming, and ozone layer depletion is a different issue from the time - lag in global warming effects.

Answer:

1. The oceans are relatively slow to respond to temperature changes
