Climate models predict that global warming will be most severe in which regions?
Australia
North America
Polar Regions
Africa
Euro-Asia
All of the following are greenhouse gases EXCEPT
carbon dioxide
water vaopr
methane
nitrogen
If global temperature warmed for any reason, atmospheric water vapor would increase due to evaporation. This would increase the greenhouse effect and thereby further rise the temperature. As a result, the ice caps would melt back, making the planet less reflective so that it would warm further. This process is an example of
synergistic feedback
positive-feedback loop
negative-feedback loop
negative coupling
Which of the following statements about the greenhouse effect is false?
The amount of heat trapped in the troposphere depends on concentrations of greenhouse gases.
Changes in CO2 and methane levels correlate closely with changes in global average temperature.
Life on earth is totally dependent on the natural greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect is a new theory that explains the warming of the atmosphere.
Which of the following is not a human activity responsible for adding CO2, CH4, and N2O to the atmosphere?
combustion of fossil fuels
cultural eutrophication
deforestation
combustion of petroleum
Which of the following is NOT correct?
Increased glacial melting leads to decreased albedo.
Decrease in cloud albedo leads to increased atmospheric temperature.
Decreased atmospheric H2O leads to an increased greenhouse effect.
Increased surface temperature leads to increased evaporation.
The thawing of permafrost will most likely result in
additional water vapor in the atmosphere
less water vapor in the atmosphere
additional nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere
additional sulfur oxides in the atmosphere
additional methane in the atmosphere
One result of increased troposphere temperatures that are observed today is
An increase in skin cancers in people
And increase in the average global sea levels of 10 to 20 cm
More radon seepage into people’s homes
A deeper permafrost in Artic regions
Lakes and ponds remaining frozen longer into the spring

I. Industrial Revolution
II. Ozone
III. Green Revolution
IV. Temperature
V. Water Vapor
I and II
I and IV
I and V
III and II
III and IV
Increased combustion of fossil fuels since 1750 has contributed to all of the following EXCEPT
melting permafrost
ocean acidification
decreased ozone layer
ocean thermal expansion
coastal flooding
Which of the following have been linked to climate change?
droughts
melting of polar ice caps
flooding
all of the above
The average temperature of the surface of Earth has increased approximately 1°C in the past century. Which reason best explains this increase in temperature?
lower levels of ozone in the atmopshere
higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
lower levels of nitrogen in the atmosphere
higher levels of oxygen in the atmosphere
Ocean acidification is the effect of climate change. It happens as a result of ____.
increased CO2
sedimentation
thermal expansion
changes in upwelling
Which of the following will require most developed countries to decrease emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases?
Montreal Protocol
Emissions Reduction Act
Kyoto Protocol
Paris Agreement
From the Paris Agreement video, what was the temperature limit that the Paris Agreement is aiming at keeping as compared to pre-industrial levels? How long are the cycles that allows for the evaluation of each countries plans and progression to their goals?
3 degrees Celsius and 3 year evaluation
1.5-2 degrees Celsius and 5 year evaluation
2-2.5 degrees Celsius and 8 year evaluation
1 degree Celsius and countries are not held accountable for their progress
