Which process converts carbon in the form of sugar into carbon dioxide gas?

• Bioremediation
• Photosynthesis
• Respiration
• Transpiration

What are fossil fuels made from?

• Plants and animals that are buried underground for millions of years.

• They absorb it from the atmosphere.

• Water

• Wind

When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the                       as carbon dioxide.

What activity does NOT release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere?

• driving a car
• riding a bicycle
• burning logs in a fire
• cutting down a tree

What will most likely happen if global warming continues at the current rate?

• An increase in temperatures will cause the melting of glaciers, and coastal cities will experience flooding.
• A decrease in temperatures will cause glaciers to become larger, and coastal marshes will dry up.
• An increase in temperatures will cause most areas of the world to experience milder weather.
• A decrease in temperatures will cause ocean currents to change direction, and global rainfall will decrease.

Which of the following statements below about climate change is NOT true?

• Volcanoes can affect the climate when they emit gases during eruptions.
• Plants and animals are affected by climate change.
• Sea levels can rise when the climate changes.
• Humans cannot reverse climate changes caused by pollution.
