Zorluk: KolayClimate Change, Global Warming and Ozone Layer Depletion

Match the environmental terms and metrics in List-I with their corresponding atmospheric characteristics or definitions in List-II:

  • Global Warming Potential (GWP)Measure of heat trapped by a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere relative to carbon dioxide (CO2\text{CO}_2)
  • Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs)High-altitude polar clouds that provide heterogeneous surfaces for chlorine activation
  • Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)Relative measure of stratospheric ozone destruction capability standardized against CFC-11
  • Radiative ForcingNet change in Earth's energy balance caused by a climate driver relative to pre-industrial times

Cevap

Global Warming Potential (GWP) pairs with the measure of heat trapped relative to carbon dioxide; Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) pair with high-altitude polar clouds providing surfaces for chlorine activation; Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) pairs with relative measure of ozone destruction standardized against CFC-11; and Radiative Forcing pairs with net change in Earth's energy balance.
Each item in List-I corresponds directly to its standard environmental science definition: Global Warming Potential evaluates heat-trapping relative to CO2\text{CO}_2; Polar Stratospheric Clouds provide heterogeneous reaction sites for polar chlorine activation; Ozone Depletion Potential measures stratospheric destruction efficiency compared to CFC-11; and Radiative Forcing expresses net changes in Earth's energy balance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the definition of Global Warming Potential (GWP)
GWP is a normalized index comparing the radiative effect of a greenhouse gas to CO2\text{CO}_2.
By definition, CO2\text{CO}_2 serves as the baseline gas with a GWP of 1.
2
Identify the function of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs)
PSCs facilitate chemical reactions in extreme polar cold that release active chlorine compounds.
These heterogeneous cloud surface reactions are essential to polar ozone hole formation during spring.
3
Identify the definition of Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
ODP measures ozone degradation efficiency relative to CFC-11.
CFC-11 is the internationally accepted standard substance assigned an ODP of 1.0.
4
Identify the definition of Radiative Forcing
Radiative forcing quantifies the energy imbalance in Earth's climate system.
Positive forcing leads to surface warming, while negative forcing causes cooling.
