Climate Change Quiz

What are the main greenhouse gases responsible for climate change?

• CO2, CH4, N2O

• N2, He, Ne

• CO, NO, SO2

• H2O, O3, Ar

How do greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming?

• By causing cooling in the atmosphere

• By reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth

• By trapping heat in the atmosphere

• By reflecting heat away from the Earth's surface

What are some human activities that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions?

• Using renewable energy

• Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes

• Reducing carbon footprint

• Planting more trees

How does climate change affect the habitats of polar bears?

• Rising sea levels, creating more space for polar bear habitats

• Melting sea ice, which is essential for hunting and breeding

• Increased snowfall, providing more food for polar bears

• Warmer temperatures, making it easier for polar bears to survive

What are the impacts of climate change on coral reefs?

• Ocean acidification, rising sea temperatures, and extreme weather events

• Decrease in pollution, increase in sea levels, and decrease in ocean temperatures

How does climate change affect migratory bird patterns?

• Causing them to grow larger wings and bodies

• Increasing their population and diversity

• Changing the color of their feathers

• Altering their habitats, food sources, and migration routes

What are some examples of renewable energy sources?

• Tidal, wave, nuclear fusion

• Coal, natural gas, oil

• Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal

• Nuclear, biomass, fossil fuels

How can solar energy help reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

• By contributing to deforestation and loss of carbon sinks

• By releasing more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere

• By increasing the use of coal and oil

• By providing a clean and renewable source of electricity, which can replace fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases when burned.

What is the average global temperature rise since the industrial revolution?

• 5 degrees Celsius

• 10 degrees Celsius

• 1 degree Celsius

• 0.5 degrees Celsius

What are the potential consequences of a 2-degree Celsius global temperature rise?

• Less severe heatwaves and extreme weather events

• Decrease in global temperatures

• More frequent and severe heatwaves, extreme weather events, sea level rise, and disruption of ecosystems and agriculture

• No impact on sea levels or ecosystems
