Cycle 4 Practice

After a massive volcanic eruption, ash and gases are released into the atmosphere. What is a possible effect on global temperatures?

• A significant increase in Earth's surface temperature

• A reduction in sunlight reaching Earth, leading to temporary cooling

• A long-term stabilization of climate patterns

• A rapid decrease in atmospheric pressure

In general, what happens to the climate (of the Earth) if more greenhouse gases are released (through human activities and natural occurrences) into the atmosphere?

• Average temperature goes up

• Average temperature goes down

• Average temperature remains the same

• None of the above

Which of the following events would most likely result in a cooling effect on Earth’s climate? Choose TWO

• A meteor impact ejecting dust into the sky

• The large-scale removal of forests for agriculture

• A series of powerful volcanic eruptions releasing particles into the atmosphere

• A significant increase in Earth's surface temperature

How do ocean currents help stabilize Earth’s climate and balancing the greenhouse effect?

• They increase carbon dioxide levels, warming the atmosphere

• They move warm water from the equator toward the poles and cold water toward the equator

• They prevent hurricanes and cyclones from forming

• They create ocean acidification, which cools the Earth's surface

Which statement best describes how methane and carbon dioxide contribute to global warming?

• They reflect heat away from Earth's surface

• They break down the ozone layer, allowing more UV radiation to enter

• • They increase cloud formation, leading to cooler temperatures

  
  

• They absorb heat and trap it in the atmosphere
