CLIMATE CHANGE UNIT TEST REVIEW

How have the times that plants bloom in the Spring changed because of Climate Change & Global Warming?

• Some plants in some regions are blooming earlier and some plants in other regions are blooming later

• There is no change in dates plants bloom from Climate Change & Global Warming. .

• The timing of when plants bloom has nothing to do w/ CC/GW

What is the effect on Earth, as more ice melts, based on graphical, quantitative evidence from satellite data and gauges which are instruments in the seas/oceans that measure water level heights?

• As the ice on Earth melts-sea levels get lower

• As the ice on Earth melts-the sea levels stay the same

• As the ice on Earth melts--sea levels rise

What is causing the sea ice to melt?

• The ice is melting because of the tilt of the Earth.

• The ice in the hydrosphere/cryosphere is melting because the temperature of the atmosphere is increasing.

• The ice is melting because of all the boats in the ocean.

• The ice is NOT melting!

How does an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause an increase in the average global temperature?

• Carbon dioxide is used by plants for photosynthesis.

• Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas (GHG), and greenhouse gases trap infrared heat in the atmosphere.

• Carbon dioxide has a cooling effect on the atmosphere.
