Which of these statements is true?

We need some greenhouse effect, just not too much.

Greenhouse gases have no real effect.

Without any greenhouse effect, our climate would be much better.

What is the Greenhouse effect?

greenhouse gasses help trap heat

greenhouse gasses help deflect heat

greenhouse gasses help shield us from the sun

greenhouse gasses help trap the sun's rays

How does climate affect the types of plants that can grow in an area?

It determines which plants are best suited for the average conditions.

It doesn't affect plant growth.

It only affects the color of the plants.

The greenhouse effect comes from

some of heat being released by the earth being trapped in the air

all heat being released by the earth going back into space

some of the heat heat being released by the earth going back into space

all of heat being released by the earth being trapped in the air

If we didn't have the 'greenhouse effect' at all, Earth would

Cool to a point where we could not live here

have volcanoes erupting everywhere

blow up from being hit by meteors

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

How does the greenhouse effect influence Earth's temperature?

It maintains Earth's temperature by trapping heat.

It reflects all sunlight back into space.

It causes the Earth to cool down significantly.

It has no effect on Earth's temperature.

What would happen if the concentration of greenhouse gases increased significantly?

Earth's average temperature would increase.

Earth's average temperature would decrease.

There would be no change in Earth's climate.

All weather patterns would remain the same.

What role do oceans play in the climate system?

They store and distribute heat around the planet

They only affect local weather patterns

They reflect sunlight back into space
