FOR THE difficult ROUND QUESTIONS:
1. Water pollution is one of the local and global environmental issue in our country today. What do you
call a major problem in lakes, rivers and ponds that when the concentration of organic nutrients that
comes from domestic garbage are thrown, there will be a rapid increase in water pollution?
REFERENCE: Science LM, p. 63
2. Carbon dioxide acts like a blanket over the Earth, holding in the heat that would otherwise radiate back
into space. What do you call the trapping of heat by gases in the Earth’s atmosphere?
REFERENCE: Science LM, p. 65
3. Fill in the blank. The greenhouse effect is a natural process. As carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
increases, greenhouse effect also intensifies which will lead to ___________________________
which is the increase in the Earth;’s temperature from the rapid build-up of carbon dioxide and other
gases.
