Cycle 5 Atmosphere and Climate Change Exam Review

Which of the following is contributing to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

• using fossil fuels

• photosynthesis
• oceans
• all of the above

What is the Greenhouse Effect?

• As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

• Condition that is caused by carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere

• causes sea levels to rise because it adds water to the ocean.

• The cooling of Earth due to air pollution.

Why is Carbon Dioxide considered to be a Greenhouse Gas?

• It is a combination of natural and human forces

• It has a biogeochemical cycle

• It is a type of weather that occurs during a particular season

• It absorbs and reradiates infrared radiation to warm the Earth
