How does the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect climate?

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

As carbon dioxide concentration increase, temperatures decrease.

Carbon dioxide concentrations have no affect on climate

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures become more random.

The difference between weather and climate is that climate is :

The thirty year average of weather conditions

The day-to-day weather conditions

Described in terms of months at a time

Deforestation contributes to greenhouse gases by

loss of trees that would otherwise remove carbon dioxide from the air

burning wood releases carbon dioxide

Over the past 200 years, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has

increased until recently, and then decreased.

Why is the Ozone important to life on Earth?

The Ozone protects the Earth’ s atmosphere and the life on Earth from harmful radiant energy emitted by the sun

A. The Ozone reflects all the Ultra Violet radiation

A. The Ozone absorbs all the heat that come up from the Earth.

The Ozone provides all the oxygen to Earth.

the condition of the atmosphere on any given day

the long-term pattern of the atmosphere over a period of years

the condition of the atmosphere on any given day

Define Rainshadow Effect

the process by which rising air on one side of a mountain releases all of its moisture so that the opposite side, or rainshadow, receives only dry air.

The tallest layer of the rain forest that receives the most sunlight.

Degradation of land, especially in semiarid areas, primarily because of human actions like excessive crop planting, animal grazing, and tree cutting.

An ecological succession that begins in an area where no biotic community previously existed

Ice cores are most useful for determining

the atmospheric composition in the past

number of Trilobites in the past

geographical species of the past

Ice cores contain information about

tectonic plates of the entire Earth

Which is the best reason for scientists to study ice cores obtained from Earth’s ice caps?

to study past climates by analyzing trapped gases and particles

to evaluate potential oil drilling sites

to study the quality of water stored in glaciers

to determine the rate of melting in polar regions

How does carbon get from animals and back into the atmosphere? (CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY)

After they die, they are broken down by decomposers

The average temperature of the surface of Earth has increased approximately 1°C in the past century. Which reason best explains this increase in temperature?

higher levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

lower levels of ozone in the atmosphere

lower levels of nitrogen in the atmosphere

higher levels of oxygen in the atmosphere

What is the primary reason for the variation in climate and weather patterns across the Earth?

The uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun

The uniform distribution of sunlight across the Earth's surface

The varying distance of the Earth from the sun

The consistent rotation speed of the Earth

How does climate change most directly affect biodiversity?

By changing habitats and altering species distribution

By increasing the global population of species

By decreasing ocean temperatures

By reducing the amount of greenhouse gases

What role do oceans play in climate change?

They absorb a significant amount of CO2 from the atmosphere

They generate most of the Earth's oxygen

They are not affected by climate change

They contribute to the greenhouse effect by releasing methane
