Analyze and Interpret Data on Atmospheric Chemistry and the Greenhouse Effect

Which of the following are greenhouse gases?

• Carbon dioxide

• Methane

• Water vapor

• All answers are correct

What is the relationship between the two variables shown on the graph?

• As temperatures rise, CO2 levels decrease

• As CO2 levels rise, temperature decreases.

• As CO2 levels rise, temperature also rises.

• Temperature and CO2 levels have no correlation.

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

According to the graph, which gas is the most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions?

• CO2

• methane

• CFC

• HFC

Raising livestock, such as sheep and cattle, results in the production of large amounts of methane gas (CH4). Methane has a similar effect in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). As more livestock are raised to provide food for humans, what is the most likely effect of the increase in methane?

• acid rain

• ozone thinning

• water pollution

• global warming

Evaluate the role of methane in climate change compared to carbon dioxide. Considering their global warming potentials, what strategic approach would best reduce their combined impact over the next 50 years?

• Focusing solely on reducing methane emissions

• Focusing solely on reducing carbon dioxide emissions

• Reducing emissions of both gases, but more significantly reducing methane emissions

• Reducing emissions of both gases, but more significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions
