What causes the red shift of a star's spectrum?

The stars are moving away from the Earth making the wavelength get longer and more red.

The stars are moving towards the Earth making the wavelength get shorter and more red.

The stars are moving towards the Earth making the wavelength get longer and more red.

The stars are moving away from the Earth making the wavelength get shorter and more red.

Select the answer with the correct order for the life cycle of a star starting from the beginning (1.).

Nebula; Protostar; Main Sequence Star; Red Giant; Planetary Nebula; White Dwarf

Red Giant; Protostar; Main Sequence Star; Nebula; White Dwarf; Planetary Nebula

What process generates the energy released by the sun?

Nuclear fusion that takes place between hydrogen atoms.

Helium atoms joining together to form larger elements such as iron.

Nuclear fission that takes place between uranium atoms.

What is the best explanation for why the solar system has inner and outer planets?

Solar winds pushed lighter gases outward leaving heavy, rocky planets closest to the sun, while lighter, gaseous planets remained further away.

When the sun turned on (started nuclear fusion) all the heavy material was pushed out to make the outer planets.

The rock materials melted when it was close to the Sun.

Gravity from the sun sorted the light gases for the inner planets, while the heavy rock material was left far away from the sun making up the outer planets.

Which action would cause global temperatures to decrease?

Limiting human-caused carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

Limiting human-caused oxygen emissions into the atmosphere.

Limiting human use of nitrogen that is in the atmosphere.

Limiting human use of water vapor that is in the atmosphere.

Why does deforestation cause global temperatures to rise?

B) Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming.

A) Trees release nitrogen into the atmosphere. Too much nitrogen in the atmosphere causes global warming.

C) Trees remove water vapor from the atmosphere. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming.

D) Trees release oxygen into the atmosphere. Too much oxygen in the atmosphere causes global warming.

Due to increased global temperatures, land-based ice like glaciers and ice sheets are melting. What effect does this have on Earth's albedo?

The sun’s rays are reflected back less. This increases global temperatures and melts more ice.

The sun’s rays are reflected back more. This decreases global temperatures and melts less ice.

The sun’s rays are reflected back more. This increases global temperatures and melts less ice.

The sun’s rays are reflected back less. This decreases global temperatures and melts less ice.

In the past 100 years, how has atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and temperature changed over time?

Carbon dioxide has been decreasing. Temperature has been increasing.

Carbon dioxide has been increasing. Temperature has been decreasing.

Which statement accurately describes the source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Both human activities and natural processes contribute to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Yet, human activities are the cause of the recent increase.

Decomposing plant matter releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than human activities do.

Human activities are the source of all carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Volcanoes release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than human activities do.

Which of these ways of making electricity creates the most carbon dioxide?

building windmills for wind power

building dams on rivers for hydropower

The top two human activities that cause carbon emissions are producing electricity and heating. These are followed by agriculture and then industrial activities. What would have the highest impact in reducing your carbon footprint?

Producing electricity with different methods.

Building more fuel-efficient vehicles

It is winter. Your house gets cold. What option will reduce your carbon emissions most?

Using a fireplace to warm the house.

Living in a community with a central heating system.

Using electric heaters to warm the house.

How would growing your own vegetables in a garden or buying from a local farmer help to reduce the effects of climate change?

The food travels from a shorter distance, using fewer fossil fuels.

Local farms always use less fertilizer.

Getting your food from a local source would not affect climate change in any way.

The plants in your garden release carbon dioxide into the air.

Which of these actions will create less carbon dioxide?

Using less electricity (like turning off lights)

Using more electricity (turning on all the lights)

Building lots of factories to make stuff

In which of the following scenarios is considering climate more important than considering weather?

Deciding which plants to grow on a plot of farmland for the upcoming seasons.

Changing the route of a cruise ship to avoid a nearby storm.

Deciding what to wear for the day after waking up.

Changing plans for outside activities because of cloudy skies.

Starting from Earth out to space, the main layers of the atmosphere are:

A) Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

B) Stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, ionosphere

C) Mesosphere, stratosphere, thermosphere, troposphere

D) Thermosphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, troposphere

Describe how the temperature changes in the Stratosphere. Mark only one oval.

Click INCREASES- that's the right answer

Which of the following is an example of radiation?

Our atmosphere is constantly being heated by the sun's rays

A metal spoon becomes warm after being set in a pot of boiling water.

Warm water rises because it is less dense than cool water.

Pancake batter cooks quickly after being spooned onto a hot griddle.
