the absorption and reradiation of infrared radiation by the atmosphere

the reflection of ultraviolet radiation by the atmosphere

the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the atmosphere

the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by Earth

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

atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased steadily since 1960

atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been decreasing since 1960

Hawaii has a lot of carbon dioxide

humans have been working hard to decrease carbon dioxide levels

underground in soil and fossil fuels

Which of the following is NOT true about greenhouse gases?

Burning coal does not release greenhouse gases.

Using petroleum as an energy source releases greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases lead to global climate change.

Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas.

How can the planting of new trees help reduce climate change?

Trees take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Trees release moisture that cools the atmosphere.

Trees block the release of greenhouse gases from soil.

Why are forests important in reducing climate change? Trees ____

use Carbon Dioxide to make food & release oxygen into the atmoshpere

reflect all sunlight away from the Earth

The graph shows changes in carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and surface temperatures on Earth from the years 1880 to 2000. Why do carbon dioxide concentrations and surface temperatures show the relationship seen in the graph?

because higher carbon dioxide levels mean more heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

because lower carbon dioxide levels mean more heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

because lower carbon dioxide levels mean less heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

because higher carbon dioxide levels mean less heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

Surfaces on Earth that reflect the sun's heat, keeping the planet cooler, high albedo

surfaces on Earth that absorb the sun's heat and warm the planet, low albdeo

Surfaces on Earth that pollute the planet

The diagram shows the carbon cycle. If many trees are removed from a forest by logging, what is the most immediate effect on the carbon cycle in that forest?

increase in the rates of atmospheric carbon dioxide

increase in the rates of decomposition

decreased combustion of fossil fuel

increase production of organic compounds

The interglacial period is

a geological interval of warmer global average temperature lasting thousands of years

a short-term fluctuation in temperature lasting only a few years

during an ice age, a time of even cooler temperatures, when large ice sheets advance from the poles toward the equator

How do volcanic eruptions influence climate?

They decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.

They increase the Earth's temperature by releasing heat.

They have no effect on the climate.

They cause immediate cooling by releasing cold gases.

Which of the following is a result of a meteor impact on Earth's climate?

Release of dust and aerosols that block sunlight.

Decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Increase in greenhouse gas absorption.

What is the effect of abrupt changes in ocean currents on climate?

They can lead to significant climate shifts.

They stabilize global temperatures.

They have no impact on climate.

They only affect marine life, not climate.

Which of the following best describes the impact of volcanic eruptions on climate?

They can cause short-term cooling.

They have no significant impact.

They increase the Earth's albedo.

What is the effect of volcanic ash on the atmosphere?

It blocks sunlight, leading to cooling.

It increases the Earth's temperature.

It has no effect on the atmosphere.

It increases the absorption of solar radiation.
