Crash Course: Climate Change and Global Warming Quiz

What is the difference between climate change and global warming?

• Climate change and global warming are both natural processes.

• Climate change refers to changes in average surface temperature of the planet, while global warming refers to changes in average weather patterns.

• Climate change and global warming are the same thing.

• Climate change refers to changes in average weather patterns, while global warming refers to the increase in average surface temperature of the planet.

What are some driving forces behind climate change?

• Orbital causes, volcanic activity, continental rearrangement, and changes in greenhouse gases.

• Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

• Natural processes, such as changes in the Earth's orbit and volcanic activity.

• Changes in average weather patterns and global warming.
