The distance food travels fromwhere it is harvested to where

it is eaten.

What are food miles?

These rays are trapped by certaingases and lead to global warming.

What is infrared radiation?

The concentration of this gasis highly correlated with the

temperature of the Earththroughout history.

What is carbon dioxide?

The form of carbon sequesteredin the shells of sea creatures.

What are carbonates?

This stage of bringing food tothe table usually requires the

most energy.

What is food production?

This property of surfaces determines how much radiant

energy is reflected.

What is albedo?

What is the Greenhouse Effect?

This occurs when heat is trapped

by the lack of transparency of certain

gases to infrared radiation.

The form of carbon in petroleum.

What are hydrocarbons?

This type of food requiresthe most energy to produce.

What is meat?

This type of process occurs whenchanges lead to greater changes

(snowball effect)

What is a positive feedback mechanism.

What are the seasons?

Levels of carbon dioxide rise and

fall according to these time

periods due to the changes in

the quantity of green plants.

This form of carbon is present in the atmosphere.

What is carbon dioxide?

A type of farming that is emerging in urban areas as one possible

solution to future food shortages.

What is vertical farming?

Using these for fuel releasescarbon dioxide that has been

sequestered for millions of years.

What are fossil fuels?

These fuels release carbon dioxide that was sequestered

recently.

What are biofuels?

Carbon exists primarily in these forms in plants.

What are carbohydrates and starches?

Reasons include feeding denselypopulated areas, providing out

of season foods, specializing thegrowing of certain foods in the

most suitable climates.

What is food transported?

As the Earth warms this becomes more intense resulting

in storms with more energy.

What is the hydrological cycle?

Because of climate change, these phenomena are predicted to be more severe and last

longer leading to crop failures.

What are droughts? What are floods?

This is almost pure carbon.

What is coal?
