Quizizz Lesson: Global Warming & Climate Change

Multiple Choice

Carbon Dioxide, CO2, comes from

• Burning fossil fuels

• Cold water

• Animal manure

• Plastic

Multiple Choice

Which human generated greenhouse gas is found in the greatest abundance within the atmosphere?

• H₂O

• CO₂

• CH₄

• O₃

• CCl₂F₂

Multiple Choice

What is the greenhouse effect?

• A natural process where gases trap heat in the atmosphere.

• A man-made process where gases trap heat in the atmosphere.

• A natural process where the ocean traps heat in the atmosphere.

• A man-made process where the ocean traps heat in the atmosphere.

Multiple Choice

In a warmer world, we would expect more

• droughts

• hurricanes

• desert expansions

• all of these

Multiple Choice

The graph below shows CO_2 emissions and temperatures from 1909 to 1949. What conclusion is best supported by the graph?

• There is no relationship between carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures

• As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

• As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures decrease

• As carbon dioxide concentrations decrease, temperatures increase

Multiple Select

Which of the following are greenhouse gases?

Mark ALL that are correct!

• H₂O

• CO₂

• CH₄

• O₃

• CFCs

  ex: CCl₂F₂

Multiple Choice

Why does cutting down trees increase global warming?

• trees absorb/take in carbon dioxide

• trees provide shade which counteracts global warming

• trees absorbs the sun's energy without radiating back into the atmosphere

• trees drain greenhouse gases like methane from soil

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT an effect of Global Warming?

• Polar ice caps will melt.

• Coastal regions will be covered with rising sea levels.

• Some areas will experience serious droughts

• The Earth's rotation will slow down and eventually stop

Multiple Choice

How does decreased ice and snow result in warming of the planet?

• Ice and snow reflect energy from Earth's surface into space

• It creates a negative feedback loop

• More solar radiation enters into Earth's atmosphere

• The albedo of snow and ice is low

Multiple Choice

Without the Greenhouse Effect the Earth would be too

• warm 

• cold

• dead

• funny

Multiple Select

Increases in greenhouse gases leads to which of the following?

Mark ALL that are correct!

• The melting of land and sea ice

• Spreading of disease vectors

• Thermal expansion of the ocean

• An overall decrease in global temperatures

Multiple Choice

Which of the following greenhouse gases has the greatest heat-trapping ability per molecule or global warming potential (GWP)?

• water vapor H₂O

• carbon dioxide CO₂

• methane CH₄

• nitrous oxide NOx

• chlrofluorocarbons (CFCs)

Multiple Choice

All of the following are true regarding the greenhouse effect, EXCEPT ___.?

• It results in the surface temperature necessary for life on Earth to exist 

• It absorbs infrared radiation from Earth's surface

• It contains both natural and anthropogenic (human made) gases

• It reflects ALL radiation back to space

Multiple Choice

What makes gases like methane, HFCs, and CFCs so concerning in the atmosphere?

• They exist in the atmosphere indefinitely

• All three do not exist naturally in nature

• They have high global warming potentials (GWP) and are very efficient at absorbing the Sun's energy

• All three contain carbon atoms

Multiple Choice

While water vapor is a greenhouse gas, why does it not contribute significantly to global climate change?

• It is natural and natural gases do not have negative environmental effects

• It has a short residence time in the atmosphere

• Water vapor cannot reflect energy back towards Earth's surface

• Water vapor is only found in the troposphere
