What is the overall trend shown in the graph of global temperature since 1850?

The temperature has remained constant.

The temperature has fluctuated without a clear trend.

What are proxy indicators in the context of climate change?

Types of indirect evidence that serve as substitutes for direct measurement

Direct measurements of current climate conditions

Predictions made by climate models

Historical records of weather patterns

What is one potential impact of steadily rising temperatures mentioned in the text?

Increase in global sea levels, causing flooding in the Maldives

Stabilization of global sea levels

Decrease in precipitation levels worldwide

What do tiny bubbles of air trapped in ice sheets and glaciers indicate?

Greenhouse gas concentrations and temperature trends

What do ancient sediments often preserve?

Pollen grains and other parts of plants

What can scientists infer by analyzing tree rings?

The climate conditions during the tree's growth

The type of soil the tree is growing in

What do climate models use to simulate climate processes?

According to the text, what is the role of greenhouse gases in global warming?

They increase the greenhouse effect.

They decrease the greenhouse effect.

They have no impact on the greenhouse effect.

They stabilize the greenhouse effect.

What is the purpose of comparing the results of climate models with actual past climate data?

To predict future climate accurately

To measure current weather conditions

What is the main cause of the rise in sea level? How is this similar to the behavior of the liquid in a thermometer?

Melting ice caps; It is similar because the liquid in a thermometer expands when it gets warmer.

Increased rainfall; It is similar because the liquid in a thermometer contracts when it gets warmer.

Tectonic activity; It is similar because the liquid in a thermometer remains constant.

Volcanic eruptions; It is similar because the liquid in a thermometer evaporates.

What are climate models?

Programs that simulate climate processes using past data.

Physical models that show weather patterns.

Graphs that display temperature changes.

Maps that indicate rainfall distribution.

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

By reducing the amount of carbon dioxide taken up by trees.

By increasing the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

By decreasing the temperature of the Earth.

By increasing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

Why has industrialization been a cause of global climate change?

It increases the use of machinery and fossil fuels.

It reduces the use of renewable energy sources.

It promotes the growth of forests.

It decreases the amount of greenhouse gases.

What is the effect of burning fossil fuels on the atmosphere?

It increases the concentration of greenhouse gases.

It decreases the concentration of greenhouse gases.

It has no effect on the concentration of greenhouse gases.

It reduces the temperature of the atmosphere.

What is the role of land-use changes in greenhouse gas emissions?

They increase greenhouse gases by reducing the number of trees that take in carbon dioxide.

They decrease greenhouse gases by increasing the number of trees that take in carbon dioxide.

They have no effect on greenhouse gas emissions.

They reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released by the soil.
