Which of the following will have the least impact on global sea level rise?

Thermal expansion of the oceans.

Why do carbon dioxide levels behave in the manner shown in the graph?

CO 2 levels decrease in summer because there is more photosynthesis.

CO 2 levels increase in winter because more gasoline is burned.

CO 2 levels decrease in the winter because there is less photosynthesis.

CO 2 levels increase in summer because there is more decomposition.

How can tree rings be used to tell what the climate was like in the past?

Wider annual rings imply warmer, wetter years.

Pollen found within the rings are indicators of past plant life.

Gas bubbles within the rings are records of past temperature.

Wider annual rings indicate dry years.

What do the bubbles in ice cores represent?

Tiny samples of earth's atmosphere when the ice formed.

Types of plants that lived in an area.

The annual growth or shrinkage of a glacier.

More bubbles are indicative of increased precipitation.

How can O-18 and O-16 be used to determine the temperature of the early earth?

During warm periods, there will be more O-18 in the ice than during glacial periods.

During cold periods, O-16 will not be formed.

Like a thermometer, O-18 will rise higher in the water during warm periods.

During warm periods, there will be more O-18 in sedimentary rock than during cold periods.

What is the primary cause of global sea-level rise?

Thermal expansion of the oceans

Displacement due to volcanic activity at mid-ocean ridges.

What is a predicted (and now observed) response of plant and animal populations to global warming?

Migration toward prevailing wind patterns.

What is an impact of increased CO 2 dissolving in the world's oceans?

Decreased pH and less reef building by coral.

Increased temperature and increased shell-forming by mollusks.

Increased eutrophication and decreased photosynthesis.

Increased pH and decreased turbidity

Which of the following is negative feedback caused by increased global temperatures?

Increased cloud cover which reflects more incoming solar radiation.

Decreased cloud cover which decreases atmospheric opacity.

Decreased albedo that leads to greater radiation absorption by earth.

Increased permafrost melting and increased methane production.

Which of the following is positive feedback caused by increased global temperatures?

Increased permafrost melting which increases methane production.

Melting ice which decreases salinity of global thermohaline circulation.

Increased ice melting which increases the albedo of the earth.

Increased ocean acidification which leads to decreased shell-forming by coral.

What is a predicted (and now observed) response of natural disasters to global warming?

increase in hurricane intensity.

How does the burning of fossil fuels contribute to the net increase in atmospheric carbon?

Carbon that has been sequestered underground is added to carbon cycling between the atmosphere and biosphere

Photosynthesis is reduced by virtue of increased smoke and haze.

Carbon released by the burning is not in a form that can be readily absorbed by plants, leaving residual carbon in the atmosphere.

Carbon released by the burning is more easily absorbed in the atmosphere than that produced by natural means.

1. Which of the following does NOT exert a major influence on Earth’s overall climate? a. b. The concentrations of the specific gases in Earth’s atmosphere c. d. e.

The seasonal development of temperature inversions in geographical basins

The annual amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth’s surface

The daily rotation of Earth on its axis, and its annual revolution around the Sun

The distribution of land masses and oceans, in combination with Earth’s topography

1. Which of the following is most likely to reduce the United States contribution to the increase in concentration of atmospheric CO 2 ? b. c. Switching fuel use for residential heating from oil to coal d. e.

Switching from cars and trucks to rail for mass transit and freight movement

Requiring all farming practices to be organic

Stopping logging in United States forests

Preventing depletion of stratospheric ozone

The increase in mean global temperature is likely to result in all of the following EXCEPT

Increased ground-level ultraviolet radiation

Decreased size of the Greenland ice sheet

Increased range of some diseases

Increased range of some plant species

Which of the following best illustrates a mitigation approach to climate change?

Increasing the proportion of commercial energy that is produced by wind farms

Increasing the global land area that is devoted to agriculture

Decreasing the price of gasoline for automobiles

Increasing the global sales of air conditioners
