How is the greenhouse effect produced?

They absorb and trap heat from the sun, warming the Earth's surface.

The Earth reflects sunlight back into space, preventing the atmosphere from warming.

Trees and plants release carbon dioxide, which cools the Earth.

The sun releases heat that directly heats the Earth's oceans, causing the atmosphere to warm.

Which of the following is NOT an effect of Global Warming?

The Earth's rotation will slow down and eventually stop

Coastal regions will be covered with rising sea levels.

Some areas will experience serious droughts

A record of Earth's long-ago weather can be found by digging into the

melting permafrost in Alaska, Canada, and Siberia.

How does the amount of solar energy received by Earth change when its orbit becomes more elliptical ?

It varies more, increasing when Earth is closer to the Sun and decreasing when it is farther away.

It stays constant throughout the year.

It decreases when Earth is closer to the Sun and increases when it is farther away.

It is unaffected by changes in its orbit.

If the ocean temperature rises, what is most likely to happen?

Carbon dioxide is released from the ocean into the atmosphere

More carbon dioxide is absorbed by the ocean

Ocean currents speed up dramatically

What do trapped bubbles in ice cores provide?

Information about ocean currents

What effect do sulfate particles from volcanic eruptions have on the amount of energy the Earth receives from the Sun?

Reflect some energy, causing cooling

Increase solar energy absorption

What conclusions have most scientists reached when comparing temperatures and CO2 concentrations?

Increasing levels of CO2 are increasing Earth's temperatures

The warming earth is creating CO2 gas

There is no relationship between CO2 levels and temperature on Earth

Increasing CO2 levels are decreasing Earth's temperatures

If a meteorite hits Earth, what is most likely to happen to the climate?

it will cool temporarily due to blocked sunlight

it will warm immediately due to carbon release

Which of the following is an effect of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on climate?

It disrupts ocean currents, leading to wetter conditions in some regions

It stabilizes global temperatures

It increases ocean temperatures uniformly across the globe

Why is the carbon cycle often referred to as a "balance"?

Because carbon is always moving between different parts of Earth’s systems

Because it maintains a consistent amount of carbon in the atmosphere

Because it reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over time

Because it only absorbs carbon from the atmosphere

How do carbonate sediments, such as shells and coral, contribute to the slow carbon cycle?

they store carbon for long periods, preventing it from returning to the atmosphere

they release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere

they are are broken down into methane by bacteria

they increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the ocean

How does carbon stored in calcium carbonate sediments eventually return to the atmosphere?

Through the subduction of tectonic plates, where calcium carbonate is incorporated into the mantle and later released by volcanic eruptions.

By being absorbed by ocean organisms and released through respiration.

By the breakdown of calcium carbonate in the soil, releasing carbon into the atmosphere.

Through the movement of carbon from the ocean to the atmosphere by wind currents.
