How is the carbon cycle similar to the water cycle?
Both involve liquid substances falling to the Earth from the atmosphere?
Neither process works at low temperature.
Both involve the transfer of substances between animals, plants, and the Earth.
Both involve the transfer of substances between the earth and outer space.
What is a carbon sink?
Something that adds to the atmosphere.
Something that removes carbon from the atmosphere.
Something that adds carbon to the earth's crust.
Something that removes carbon from the earth's crust.
How does carbon become locked inside the earth?
Tree roots expel carbon into the soil as they grow.
Humans use machines to pump carbon dioxide into large underground rocks.
Rocks become richer in carbon as time goes by.
The carbon-rich bodies of plants and animals decay into the earth after they die.
What kind of energy is infrared?
heat energy
electrical energy
nuclear energy
sound energy
The greenhouse effect is due to
the absorption and reradiation of infrared radiation by the atmosphere
the reflection of ultraviolet radiation by the atmosphere
the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the atmosphere
the reflection of infrared radiation from Earth's surface
the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by Earth
Thicker tree rings indicate poor growing conditions for plants and trees.
True
False
How can monitoring glaciers provide evidence for climate change?
When climate gets warmer, glaciers get larger.
When glaciers retreat it means that it is getting colder.
Glaciers contain old thermometers to measure temperatures.
When climate is warmer, glaciers retreat. When climate is colder, glaciers expand and get larger.
The gases that make up Earth’s atmosphere are commonly referred to as air. What are the two most abundant gases in the atmosphere?
nitrogen and carbon dioxide
nitrogen and oxygen
water vapor and argon
oxygen and carbon dioxide
Living vegetation and the ocean are known as "carbon sinks" because
they are made of carbon.
they create carbon.
they destroy carbon.
they store carbon.
What is it called when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean and reacts with seawater to produce acid.
water pollution
ocean acidification
seaweed salad vinegar
hydrochloric acid
Coral bleaching
Education and public awareness campaigns to preserve the health of coral reefs.
The process to clean coral before it is sold.
The process by which corals lose their algae and color under stressful conditions like high water temperature and light intensity.
On the picture, the heat out is decreasing. What can we assume if this is happening?

We don't have any greenhouse gasses
Greenhouse gasses are decreasing
Greenhouse gasses are increasing
In the picture we see that the temperature is increasing and decreasing daily. Why is this happening?
We are burning fossil fuels
We have greenhouse gasses
Our sun rises and sets each day causing temperatures to rise and fall.
None of the above
