What is the accurate definition of climate change mitigation?
The efforts to reduce or prevent the damage air in the atmosphere
The efforts to reduce or prevent build-up of green house gases in the atmosphere
The efforts to reduce or prevent Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
The efforts to reduce or prevent CFC in the atmosphere
CO2 can be stored through geological sequestration, which best describes how it works:
CO2 is pumped into impermeable rock when it can be stored in the gaps and produces carbon neutral minerals.
CO2 is pumped into porous rock with an overlaying band of impermeable rock to trap the CO2.
CO2 is pumped into the atmosphere through a gas flue.
Which of the following is not a location where CO2 can be safely stored in CCS?
Deep Ocean
Depleted oil and gas fields
Porous rock
Soil
Its turbines are noisy; they can affect bird migration. High construction costs limit its large-scale development. Moreover, it doesn’t produce any pollution.
Tidal energy
Wave energy
Wind power
Geothermal energy
Each unit of electricity generated by this renewable energy costs between 4 and 10 times more than that derived from fossil fuels. It is a renewable energy that doesn’t emit any kind of air, water, or soil pollution.
Solar energy
Wind power
Nuclear energy
Hydroelectricity
Its plants are costly to produce. It probably increases evaporation in the dam and favors silt deposition. Moreover, It is a form of renewable energy that takes advantage of water's rapid flow with sufficient volume.
Hydroelectricity
Nuclear energy
Tidal energy
Geothermal energy
It is a relatively green energy source, and it is not dependent on weather conditions. On the other hand, it is local-dependent, has high initial costs, and produces odor nuisance.

Select the correct definition for afforestation
The process of preserving an area of forested land to minimised deforestation
The process of of clearing a wide area of trees
The process of planting large numbers of trees on land which has few or no trees on it
The process of selectively cutting down trees, only cutting down the ones of value and leaving the others to preserve the environment
