• Decreasing temperature in a city

• Increasing rain rates in Earth

• Decreasing temperature rates

Multiple Select

What processes increase the greenhouse gas concentration in Earth's atmosphere? Choose all that apply.

• burning fossil fuels

• photosynthesis

• decomposition of organic material

• cellular respiration

Multiple Choice

Why does cutting down trees increase global warming?

• trees soak up 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

• by causing it to rain more often
• by melting glaciers and ice caps
• by increasing the number of undersea volcanic eruptions
• by creating bigger and more powerful hurricanes

Multiple Choice

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 Choice

How have we changed the amount of carbon that is stored in ice, oceans and the biosphere?

• We have added carbon bacause of industrilization, travel, and trade.

• We have removed more forms of clean energy due to the fact that it is expensive.

• We have removed more trees from the Amazon, Central Africa, and South East Asian rainforests.

• We are still using fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal.
