What are the most significant greenhouse gases?
carbon dioxide
methane
water vapor
oxygen
How is long-wave radiation emitted from earth?
Surface of the earth absorbs short-wave energy from the sun;
It then re-emits the energy in the form of long-wave radiation

Which of the following is a consequence of global temperature rise on arctic ecosystems?
Increased rates of decomposition of detritus trapped in permafrost
Decrease of geographical range of habitats for temperate species
Decrease of pest species and increase of permafrost species
Increase of geographical range of habitats for permafrost species
Which gas will enhance the greenhouse effect if released into the atmosphere?
Hydrogen
Oxide of nitrogen
Oxygen
Nitrogen
What is the correlation between global temperature and C02 concentrations?
There is no correlation between the two.
The higher the temperature, the less c02 is present.
The higher the temperature, the more C02 is present.
The lower the temperature, the more C02 is present.
Which of the following is NOT a potential problem associated with climate change?
The melting of ice habitats
Desertification
Extreme growth in species
Destruction of food webs

Which property of a gas means that it is classed as a greenhouse gas?
They trap some of the long-wave radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface
They prevent short-wave radiation from reaching the Earth’s surface
They dissolve in rainwater to produce acid rain
They are only produced by human activity
