(Points : 1)True False Question 6. 6.Which statement best summarizes the world’s reaction to stratospheric ozone depletion discussed in Chapter 7.4 of your text?(Points : 1) The global scale of ozone depleting chemicals makes the environmental problem of ozone depletion nearly impossible to solve.International cooperation led to a significant decrease in ozone depleting chemicals that could allow natural processes to heal the ozone layer within about 50 years.While initial efforts decreased ozone depleting chemicals, in recent years the reemergence of pollutants has led to an expansion of the ozone hole.Through the Vienna Protocol, ozone depleting chemicals were reduced by over 90% by 1998.None of the statements summarize the world’s reaction to ozone depletion.

Question 10.10.Which of the following is an impact of increased ocean acidification as caused by global climate change?(Points : 1) Low pH seawater alters calcium carbonate concentrations which reduce the ability of many animals to build shells.Increased acidification leads to expansion of coral reef populations.Low pH seawater results in greater whale populations, which in turn skew biological ocean communities.Increased acidification leads to lower water temperatures which kill many aquatic species.All of the above statements are impacts of increased ocean acidification
