Emissions

Which statement MIGHT not be true about CO2 emissions in the United States.

• Colder areas have higher CO2 because more people have to heat homes/houses

• Densely populated areas have more CO2 because more people drive there

• Areas with large mass transit systems have lower CO2 rates because of trains and bus use (New York and Chicago)

• Warmer areas in the country have higher CO2 rates because greenhouse gasses are heating up their atmosphere

Why would a train be a good from a carbon standpoint to travel?

• It puts out very little CO2

• It is fast and takes less time to travel

• It can carry a lot of passengers from the CO2 it outputs

• It is the cheapest way to travel

The parallel lines represents...

• energy levels of the atom

• energy levels of the electrons

• energy levels of the photons

• energy levels of the nucleus

What is the light that you can see called?

• observatory light

• ultraviolet light

• visible light

• infrared light

The area of human activity responsible for the second highest greenhouse gas emissions is

• residential activity

• transport

• agriculture

• industrial

NGSS.HS-ESS3-1

From the information in the graph we can say that:

• power stations produce about 1.5 times the emission of residential activities

• residential activities produces about the same amount of emissions as waste disposal

• fossil fuel retrieval produces more emission than transportation of fuels

• industrial process produce about 5 times the emissions of waste disposal & treatment

The greenhouse effect is caused by

• more heat arriving at the Earth from the sun

• the Earth releasing more heat at night

• gases in the air trapping heat released by the Earth
