7.6 Lesson 13 Quiz

What area of our classroom’s Earth’s Carbon System Model is likely causing the carbon dioxide imbalance?

• The burning of fossil fuels releases excess CO₂.

• The oceans absorb too much CO₂.

• The trees produce more CO₂ than they absorb.

• The atmosphere does not hold enough CO₂.

When testing emission rate changes in the simulation, what should we expect if emissions were entirely eliminated?

• Atmospheric CO₂ levels would slowly decrease.

• Global temperatures would increase rapidly.

• Nothing would change.

• CO₂ levels would remain constant.

How might switching to energy-efficient appliances at home help with carbon emission reduction?

• It reduces household energy consumption.

• It increases energy bills.

• It has no effect on emissions.

In your own words, how might reducing energy usage at home influence carbon emissions?

• It lowers overall emissions by needing less power generation.

• It has no connection to emissions change.

• It increases dependency on fossil fuels.

• It only affects water conservation.

How can your household’s diet impact carbon emissions?

• Eating more plant-based foods can reduce emissions.

• Perfectly ripe fruit produces CO₂.

• Eating fast food helps lower emissions.

• Non-wrapped foods are more polluting.
