Climate Change Quiz

What are the main greenhouse gases responsible for global warming?

• Water vapor (H2O), oxygen (O2), and nitrogen (N2)

• Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O)

• Helium (He), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr)

• Sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3)

How does climate change affect biodiversity?

• Biodiversity thrives under climate change

• Climate change only affects one species

• Climate change can lead to habitat loss, species extinction, and disruption of food chains.

• Climate change has no impact on biodiversity

Name one renewable energy solution that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Hydropower

• Wind power

• Solar power

• Geothermal energy

What is the primary cause of global temperature rise?

• Solar activity

• Volcanic eruptions

• Increase in greenhouse gases

• Deforestation

How does ocean acidification impact marine life?

• Ocean acidification has no impact on marine life.

• Ocean acidification can weaken and dissolve the shells and skeletons of marine organisms.

• Ocean acidification leads to the growth of stronger shells in marine organisms.

• Ocean acidification increases the population of marine organisms.

Which greenhouse gas is the most potent in trapping heat in the atmosphere?

• Carbon dioxide (CO2)

• Ozone (O3)

• Nitrous oxide (N2O)

• Methane (CH4)

What are the consequences of deforestation on climate change?

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change

• Deforestation helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions

• Deforestation leads to increased rainfall and cooler temperatures

• Deforestation exacerbates climate change by releasing stored carbon dioxide, disrupting the water cycle, reducing biodiversity, and increasing the risk of natural disasters.

How can individuals reduce their carbon footprint?

• By using public transportation, biking or walking instead of driving, reducing energy consumption at home, recycling, and supporting sustainable products and practices.

• By increasing energy consumption at home

• By using private jets for travel

• By supporting non-sustainable products and practices

Explain the concept of the greenhouse effect.

• The greenhouse effect is a man-made phenomenon that has no impact on the environment.

• The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface by trapping heat in the atmosphere.

• The greenhouse effect is caused by excessive use of air conditioning.

• The greenhouse effect is a process that cools the Earth's surface by releasing heat into space.

What role do oceans play in regulating the Earth's temperature?

• Oceans have no impact on regulating the Earth's temperature

• Oceans create a greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the atmosphere

• Oceans absorb, store, and release heat, acting as a heat sink to regulate the Earth's temperature.

• Oceans contribute to global warming by releasing excess heat
