ESS2.6 : Greenhouse Gases and Earth's Atmosphere Quiz

What is the main role of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere?

• To regulate the Earth's average surface temperature

• To create wind patterns

• To produce oxygen

• To block sunlight completely

Why are greenhouse gases important for keeping Earth habitable?

• They trap heat and maintain a suitable temperature for life

• They remove all carbon dioxide from the air

• They cause the Earth to freeze

• They block all sunlight from reaching the surface

Which of the following is a likely consequence if there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

• The Earth's surface would become too cold for most life

• The Earth's surface would become extremely hot

• The Earth's surface would have no change in temperature

• The Earth's surface would be covered in water

Developing a model to explain the role of greenhouse gases is an example of which scientific skill?

• Creating explanations based on evidence

• Memorizing facts

• Drawing only

• Ignoring data

Which statement best describes the relationship between greenhouse gases and Earth's habitability?

• Greenhouse gases help keep Earth warm enough to support life

• Greenhouse gases make Earth uninhabitable

• Greenhouse gases have no effect on Earth's temperature

• Greenhouse gases only exist on other planets
