How are climate zones determined?

• Based on factors such as altitude, wind patterns, and ocean currents.

• Based on factors such as population density, land use, and pollution levels.

• Based on factors such as geological formations, soil types, and animal habitats.

• Based on factors such as temperature, precipitation, and vegetation patterns.

What is global warming and what causes it?

• Global warming is the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature caused by the release of greenhouse gases from human activities.

• Global warming is caused by the depletion of the ozone layer.

• Global warming is a myth and does not exist.

• Global warming is the result of natural climate cycles and has nothing to do with human activities.

What are the effects of global warming on the environment?

• Global warming has several negative effects on the environment, including rising temperatures, melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, sea level rise, extreme weather events, disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity, and ocean acidification.

• Global warming causes a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

• Global warming has no effect on the environment.

• Global warming leads to increased rainfall and flooding.
