Melting of glaciers and polar ice caps....

will result in sea-levels rising

will result in cooler temperatures in the Arctic

Will have no effect on ecosystems

what human activities lead to an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases and therefore lead to climate change?

burning fossil fuels for energy

transportation (cars, planes, trains)

human activities lead to climate change and global warming because

there are MORE greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the temperature is increasing

there are LESS greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the temperature decreases

there is the SAME amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the temperature stays the same

The number if storms will stay the same

An example of a climate change mitigation strategy is

mandating more fuel efficient vehicles

building structures to protect from rising sea levels

CFCs alter the natural formation of ozone by:

preventing UV radiation to strike ozone

What is the main cause of coral bleaching?

Not enough carbon dioxide is dissolved in ocean water

One possible positive consequence of an increase in CO 2 in the atmosphere?

Plants may grow faster and produce more sugars

Pests like pine beetles will die

Forest fires will be extinguished by the lack of oxygen

What is Arctic (or polar) amplification?

the phenomenon that temperature near the poles is increasing at a higher rate than at lower latitudes

the intensification of the polar jet stream due to melting ice caps

the increased productivity of Arctic ecosystem due to increased upwelling

the migration of the polar front due to stronger pressure contrasts

Which of the following best describes the primary goal of the Paris Agreement?

to keep the global climate temperature increase to under 2 degrees Celsius

to create a fund to help countries deal with disaster relief

to validate the science behind climate change for the global community

to reduce deforestation worldwide

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.

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

Pick all of the following traits that make a species LESS likely to go extinct:

Ability to move to a new habitat

Inability to move to a new habitat

Pick all of the following traits that make a species More likely to go extinct:

Inability to move to a new habitat

Ability to move to a new habitat

Which of these is true about the melting of sea ice?

Ice has a higher albedo than the ocean's surface and so as ice melts, the ocean absorbs more heat.

The cold, fresh water added helps to cools the ocean, counteracting the warming.

The melting of sea ice strands polar bears who cannot swim between the "islands" of ice.

AcTUalLY ice ISN'T melting, it's all a conspiracy.

What is true about the melting of permafrost?

The melting of permafrost releases greenhouse gasses, which increases warming.

The melting of permafrost helps to regulate and cool down the air temperature in the arctic.

The melting of permafrost has no affect on anything.

What is one of the main reasons for sea level rise?

Higher amounts of rainfall into the ocean.

The ground is sinking down into the ocean.
