Questions 13

Answers

1
What will happen to crop production as temperatures increase over this century?
All crops will adapt to changing temperatures
Crop areas may shift to follow optimal temperature ranges
All crops will die & production will decrease
2
How is animal agriculture one of the largest human contributors to greenhouse gas emissions?
Nitrogen fertilizer for corn & soy grown for animal feed
Deforestation for cattle farms & for crops to feed the cows
Animals we eat produce methane through digestion
All answer choices are accurate
3
How does flooding affect humans?
It spreads disease & pollution
It restores the environment
It strengthens infrastructure
It improves economy
4
What are the potential consequences of projected short but heavy rainfall events?
Sea level rise
Increase in storm surge
Increase in flash floods
Plant growth
5
All of the following are reasons why the water demand is projected to increase except:
Reduced groundwater availability
Increase number of personal swimming pools
Intense droughts
Increase in population
6
All of the following are adaptive strategies to cope with climate change except:
Deplete all soil nutrients so your plants are nutritious
Integrating livestock with crop production systems
Plant crops most suitable for local environmental conditions
Diversifying crop rotation to improve soil quality
7
How is climate change altering precipitation in the U.S.?
Increase in both wet and dry extremes
Increasing length of droughts everywhere
Increasing extreme precipitation everywhere
Climate change doesn't alter precipitation
8
What parts of the water cycle does climate change profoundly affect?
Runoff and stream flow
All answer choices are accurate
Precipitation patterns
Atmospheric water vapor concentrations
9
All the of following are ways scientists study climate change effects on agriculture except:
They observe crops and gather data about them for studies
They perform a blind taste test
They use satellites to observe crop patterns & changes
They use historical data & observations to create models
10
How will the projected increase in hot nights throughout the U.S. affect livestock?
Decreases the livestock's hunger which reduces production
Decreases stress like a sauna which increases production
Increases stress which reduces production
Unaffected because livestock can regulate body temperature
11
Soil moisture is projected to decline with higher temperatures. This is an issue because it:
Prevents soil erosion, and subsequently, a Dust Bowl event
Recharges groundwater, which is necessary for plants to grow
All answer choices are accurate
Helps regulate water and carbon between land and atmosphere
12
All of the following are ways that climate change impacts agriculture except:
Excessive heat promotes plant flowering
Flooding removes topsoil & drowns crops
Increased CO2 acts as fertilizer, but reduces crop nutrients
Increased temperature & drought cause loss of arable land
13
What can we do to combat the effects that climate change has on our water supply?
Strategic water management plans
Take long, hot showers
Use the hose to wash car & clean driveway
Water agricultural farms in the middle of the day
