IB ESS: Unit 6
Tropospheric ozone - correct answer ✔✔Nitrogen dioxide can absorb sunlight and break up to release
oxygen atoms that combine with oxygen in the air to form....
determine the frequency and severity of photochemical smog - correct answer ✔✔temperature
inversions, surrounding mountains, sunny calm weather conditions.....
thermal inversion - correct answer ✔✔when a layer of dense, cool air is trapped beneath a layer of less
dense, warm air.
Acid deposition - correct answer ✔✔sulphuric and nitric acid in rainwater
Dry deposition - correct answer ✔✔the particulates deposited before mixing with water in the
atmosphere
Carbonic acid - correct answer ✔✔the type of acid found naturally in rain water
Nitric acid - correct answer ✔✔the acid produced as a result of nitrogen oxides being released into the
atmosphere
Sulphuric acid - correct answer ✔✔the acid produced as a result of sulphur dioxides being released into
the atmosphere
damage to root systems, conifers suffer burnt needles - correct answer ✔✔impact of acid rain on
vegetation
acidification of lakes and the leaching of nitrates form soils causes eutrophication. - correct answer
✔✔impact of acid rain on aquatic ecosystems
