EPS Exam Review

The source of most CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere is

• burning of fossil fuels
• Hawaii will be most affected by eruption of volcanoes
• breathing by animals
• decomposition of dead material

This graph shows

• CO2 is increasing but temperature is decreasing
• both temperature and CO2 are increasing
• both CO2 and temperature are decreasing
• CO2 is decreasing but temperature is increasing

• CFCs

• UV rays

• Decreased atmospheric heat

Some Solar radiation doesn't reach Earth because _____

• it is reflected off particles in the atmosphere
• it is absorbed by clouds and particles in the atmosphere
• it is reflected off clouds
• all are correct

What is the layer farther away from Earth

• Troposphere

• Mesosphere

• Exosphere

• Thermosphere

What is the closest layer to Earth

• Exosphere

• Troposphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

Which 2 layers of the atmosphere are essentially outer-space?

• Thermosphere

• Mesosphere

• Exosphere

• Stratosphere

True or False: The thermosphere is the hottest layer.

• True

• False

The diagram represents solar energy that is absorbed by Earth's land and water surfaces and is changed into heat that radiates back into the atmosphere.What is this process called?

• ozone
• radiation
• greenhouse effect
• evaporation

Which process accurately describes the formation of the greenhouse effect?

• The Sun's rays are reflected from the land back into the atmosphere.
• Increased solar energy is entering through the hole in the ozone layer.
• Aerosol gases become trapped and build up in the atmosphere.
• Heat radiating from the land and oceans is trapped in the troposphere.
