Which of the following is the largest source of CO 2 in the atmosphere?

Transpiration (animals breathing out)

Plants decomposing or burning (deforestation)

Which of the following is a positive feedback loop?

As it gets hotter, more clouds form and reflect light away from the earth.

Water as a greenhouse gas heats the earth so more water evaporates.

Ice melts when it gets hot, so less light is reflected from earth, which makes the earth more hot.

What happens when sunlight hits greenhouse gas molecules?

slowly heats them, increasing temperature

quickly cools them, decreasing temperature

slowly cools them, decreasing tempature

quickly heats them, increasing temprature

How do carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases cause Earth's atmosphere to warm?

absorb outgoing infrared radiation

absorb incoming solar radiation

reflect incoming solar radiation

emit outgoing infrared radiation.

What happens when energy from the Sun encounters a white surface (ice or snow)? The energy is:

reflected off the surface and leaves the atmosphere

reflected off the surface and trapped in the atmosphere

absorbed by the surface and stored in the land and ocean

absorbed by the surface, radiating heat into the atmosphere

Describe how changes in the amount of ice covering Earth's surface can affect Earth's temperature.

more ice, more reflection, cooler temperature

more ice, less reflection, cooler temperature

more ice, more absorption, cooler temperature

more ice, less absorption, warmer temperature

How do the changes in cloud cover affect Earth's temperature?

more clouds, higher temperature

Which of the following is a major source of nitrous oxide?

Off-gassing of benzene from gasoline

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.

Ocean acidification begins with

carbon dioxide released from combustion

dumping of waste from cities into the ocean
