Which of the following has most directly resulted in increased skin cancer rates in Australia?

Ozone depletion in the stratosphere

Water pollution in the Antarctic Ocean

Increased immigration of Asian people into Australia

The occurrence of a solar maximum

Which of the following is part of a positive feedback mechanism associated with global climate change?

Increased cloudiness caused by more moisture in the atmosphere

Which of the following factors is fundamentally responsible for seasons on Earth?

The tilt of Earth’s axis of rotation

The varying distance of Earth from the Sun

The latitudinal variation in temperature and precipitation

The tidal pull of the Sun and Moon

Which of the following actions would reduce global greenhouse emissions?

Replacing coal-burning power plants with wind farms

Increasing the use of automobiles

Decreasing the number of nuclear power plants

Converting tropical forests to rice paddies

One solution for reducing the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide would be to

decrease the use of fossil fuels

increase oceanic temperatures to enhance carbon dioxide uptake

increase the rate of removal of tropical rain forests

decrease the total area of rice paddies

True statements about ozone include which of the following?

It is a pollutant in the troposphere AND It filters out most of the UV radiation in the stratosphere

It is a pollutant in the troposphere

It filters out most of the UV radiation in the stratosphere

Most of it is formed in the stratosphere by reaction between carbon dioxide and free oxygen atoms.

The absorption of infrared radiation by atmospheric gases and the random re-radiation of the energy back towards Earth and into space is known as

Atmosphere's Convection Currents

Which is a major cause of increasing greenhouse gas production?

increasing use of fossil fuels because of growing populations and greater affluence

Higher evaporation rates because of a greater area of blacktop roads.

Less efficient energy usage because of a poor economy

Greater UV radiation exposure because of the thinning stratospheric ozone layer

More intense Atlantic hurricane seasons because of global warming

Scientists believe that global warming in the last century has occurred from greenhouse gases and not solar radiation because of

observations of increased atmospheric heat trapping in colder regions.

increased albedo due to an increase in solar radiation.

observations of decreased atmospheric heat trapping in lower latitudes.

observations of hotter temperatures due to increased solar radiation.

changes in the earth’s tilt and orbit.

As an alpine glacier melts and recedes, it uncovers soil and rocks which have a lower albedo than the glacier. With a lower albedo, the soil and rocks reflect less light, absorb more solar radiation, and can warm Earth. This positive feedback system would cease to exist if

the glacier becomes covered with soil

global average temperatures fall.

Which are the top three nations for per capita emission of carbon dioxide?

Australia, United States, Saudi Arabia

United States, Russia, Australia

China, Saudi Arabia, United States
