Which of the following is TRUE about the humidity in deserts and water-filled swamps?

• both have little humidity

• both have very high humidity

• deserts have lower humidity than swamps

• swamps have lower humidity than deserts

Why does air in an area with a tropical climate hold more water vapor than air in a polar climate?

• tropical climates have more rivers

• polar climates have ice instead of water

• warm air holds more water vapor

• polar climates get more sunlight

What role do oceans play in climate change?

• Oceans emit large amounts of greenhouse gases.

• Oceans absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, acting as a carbon sink.

• Oceans reflect sunlight, reducing the Earth's temperature.

• Oceans produce oxygen, which contributes to the greenhouse effect.

Which gas is most responsible for the greenhouse effect that leads to global warming and climate change?

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Carbon dioxide

• Hydrogen

During a discussion about climate change, someone mentions a significant impact of global warming. Global warming has led to observable changes, including the melting of polar ice caps due to rising global temperatures, which contributes to rising sea levels. It has also been linked to more extreme weather events rather than a decrease in their severity. In contrast, warming oceans disrupt ecosystems, often reducing biodiversity rather than increasing it, and ocean temperatures are rising, not decreasing. Considering these impacts, which of the following is a significant effect of global warming?

• Decreased severity of weather events

• Increased biodiversity in tropical regions

• Melting of polar ice caps

• Decrease in ocean temperatures
