Which of the following is the best conclusion that can be made from this graph?

• atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been decreasing since 1960
• carbon dioxide levels will most likely fall again soon

• carbon dioxide levels have regularly risen and fallen so the levels today are not a concern

• atmospheric carbon dioxide levels appear to relate to the temperature levels

The main human activity that releases the most greenhouse gases is:

• raising livestock that releases methane

• burning fossil fuels that releases carbon dioxide

• throwing away garbage in landfills that generate methane

• deforestation that reduces the amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere

Which of the following are known as heat-trapping gases (select all that apply):

• Carbon Dioxide

• Methane

• Nitrous Oxide

• Oxygen

• Water Vapor

The greenhouse effect (select all that apply):

• Uses greenhouse gases that trap heat which was re-radiated from the ground after sunlight warmed it up

• Is needed or the Earth would be a frozen planet

• Is more effective in the summer months when the sunlight is more direct

• Is where greenhouse gases warm up from the sunlight absorbed directly

Oceans are changing more than other areas on Earth from climate change. Which are ways the oceans are changing from climate change (select all that apply):

• Ocean acidification from dissolved CO₂ forming carbonic acid and bleaching coral reefs

• Warmer water temperatures increasing evaporation and increasing salinity

• Warmer water temperatures that expanding water and raising sea levels

• Dissolved CO₂ that is increasing the oxygen in the oceans and increasing wildlife popualations
