End-Of-Unit Assessment Climate Change

How have the times that plants bloom in the Spring changed because of Climate Change & Global Warming?

• Some plants in some regions are blooming earlier and some plants in other regions are blooming later

• There is no change in dates plants bloom from Climate Change & Global Warming. .

• The timing of when plants bloom has nothing to do w/ CC/GW

What is the effect on Earth, as more ice melts, based on graphical, quantitative evidence from satellite data and gauges which are instruments in the seas/oceans that measure water level heights?

• As the ice on Earth melts-sea levels get lower

• As the ice on Earth melts-the sea levels stay the same

• As the ice on Earth melts--sea levels rise

What is causing the sea ice to melt?

• The ice is melting because of the tilt of the Earth.

• The ice in the hydrosphere/cryosphere is melting because the temperature of the atmosphere is increasing.

• The ice is melting because of all the boats in the ocean.

• The ice is NOT melting!

As the ice (hydrosphere/cryosphere on Earth melts, what impact does it have on the other 'spheres'?

• All other spheres are affected by melting sea ice.

• There is no impact on the other spheres.

• Only the hydrosphere is affected

• Only the biosphere is affected

Which choice shows the best options for consequence of increased global temperatures?

• Rising sea levels, Increased frequency of major storms, Increased frequency of major droughts, changes in the dates plants bloom

• Increased ice mass, predictable weather, lowering of sea levels.

• Planting more trees, using less fossil fuels.

How does an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause an increase in the average global temperature?

• Carbon dioxide is used by plants for photosynthesis.

• Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas (GHG), and greenhouse gases trap infrared heat in the atmosphere.

• Carbon dioxide has a cooling effect on the atmosphere.

• Burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

• Planting trees and reducing fossil fuel use.
