What does Ozone depletion do to the Tundra?
Ozone depletion can result in higher levels of harmful UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which can have negative impacts on tundra vegetation by reducing productivity and affecting plant growth. This can ultimately disrupt the fragile balance of the tundra ecosystem and lead to changes in plant species composition and distribution.
What is the greenhouse effect and what gases are responsible for it?
The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life. This is a good thing.The gases responsible are mostly water vapour and carbon dioxide.The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming and climate change. This is a very dangerous thing.The gases responsible are mostly carbon dioxide (from our burning of fossil fuels which release long-hidden carbon) and methane (from cattle, agricultural practices, rice paddies and melting tundra).
Is there a fear of climate change for tundra?
idk suk a thingYes, as the earth warms, the tundra is beginning to melt. This is releasing long-held methane into the atmosphere. Methane is a greenhouse gas twenty-one times more dangerous than carbon dioxide, so this will accelerate the warming process.
What happens if methane is released from the tundra?
Methane is a powerful Greenhouse Gas. It is 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide. The release of methane from tundra is what an engineer would describe as a positive feedback loop: # The warmer it gets the more the tundra (permafrost) thaws. # The more it thaws the more methane is released. # The more methane (GHG) in the atmosphere the warmer it gets. # Return to step 1
What are they doing to stop global warming in the tundra?
They are doing nothing, specifically. Global warming, as the name suggests, is everywhere, all over the world. To stop or slow it we have to take action everywhere by moving to renewable energy (to stop burning fossil fuels) and plant billions of trees.
How do people affect the Arctic tundra?
Ozone Depletion... when greenhouse gases put holes in the ozone layer.
What are the three greenhouse gases that greatly impact the Earth's climate?
Water vapor helps keep the planet warm.Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels adds to the enhanced greenhouse effect.Methane from belching cattle and melting tundra is also contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What greenhouse gas is released as the tundra thaws?
The greenhouse gas released as the tundra thaws is primarily methane. As the permafrost melts, organic material previously frozen in the soil decomposes and releases methane gas. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
What potent greenhouse gas is trapped in large quantities in the permafrost of the tundra?
Unfortunately, this potent greenhouse gas - METHANE - is no longer Trapped!

What type of winds effect the tundra biome?
The tundra biome is typically affected by katabatic winds, which are cold, dense winds that flow downhill due to gravity. These winds can bring cold air and affect temperature fluctuations in the tundra biome.
What will a runaway greenhouse effect do to the Earth?
the greenhouse effect is an increase in the average temperature of the earth "Greenhouse gases" such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone and methane, slow the escape of heat from earth's atmosphere.

What do the humans do to affect the Arctic tundra?
Well, one of the answers to that question is our pollution. The smoke and carbon dioxide that is released from things such as factories and cars rise up into the atmosphere and get trapped. Usually when the Sun's heat reaches the Earth it bounces back into space to keep the climate at a comfortable temperature, but with the carbon dioxide the Sun's heat gets into the atmosphere but can't get out, so the atmosphere keeps getting hotter and hotter which is melting the ice and snow in places such as the arctic tundra. This is known as the "greenhouse effect".
