Multiple Choice

What are the two main factors that determine the climate of an area?
1
precipitation and humidity
2
temperature and air pressure
3
wind conditions and humidity
4
temperature and precipitation

31

Multiple Choice

What effect do large forests have on Earth's climate?

1

They take in carbon dioxide and help slow global warming.

2

They decrease precipitation by absorbing water from the atmosphere.

3

They warm the Earth by absorbing and reradiating heat energy.

4

They interfere with winds and prevent the global redistribution of heat.

32

Multiple Choice

In general, how do ocean currents affect Earth's climate?

1

They create waves that create prevailing winds.

2

They move heat energy from place to place.

3

They magnify the sun's rays and heat Earth's surface.

4

They are the main source of greenhouse gases.
