Which of the following does NOT describe weather?
the number of clouds there are in the sky
the amount of water pollution in a lake
if it is raining or not
the force of the wind through the trees
Which of the following best describes the difference between weather and climate?
Weather can be predicted and climate can not.
Weather includes the wind and rainfall, whereas climate only describes the temperature.
Weather happens in your state, and climate happens in your country.
Weather describes conditions such as wind and rain at a particular time, whereas climate describes typical seasonal conditions,
What is the main cause of deep water ocean currents?
the Coriolis Effect: the Earth's ration causing the water in the oceans to move.
differences in water density because of variations in water temperature and salt concentrations.
wind, cased by variations in air pressure, blowing on the water.
freshwater river and streams flowing into the oceans.

How have humans played a role in causing Earth's temperature to rise?
They are burning fossils fuels.
They ride their bikes.
They shovel their snow.
They are recycling.
Why is burning fossils fuels bad for the Earth?
Fossil fuels release Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere.
Fossil fuels help us learn about dinosaurs.
Fossil fuels release Oxygen into the atmosphere.
Fossil Fuels burn down the forests.
Why is too much Carbon Dioxide bad for our atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide releases more of the sun's heat.
Carbon Dioxide traps more of the sun's heat.
Carbon Dioxide helps us breathe.
Carbon Dioxide makes the water dirty.
How does the California Current affect California's climate?
The cold California Current makes California's climate warmer.
The warm California Current makes California's climate cooler.
The cold California Current makes California's climate cooler.
The warm California Current makes California's climate warmer.
Why does the California current make California's climate cooler?
The California Current brings cool air to California.
The California Current brings hot air to California.
The California Current brings warm air to California.
The California Current takes cool air away from California.
How does Sea Ice Melting affect the climate?
If there's less water in the ocean, it absorbs more sunlight.
If there's more water in the ocean, it absorbs more sunlight.
If there's more water in the ocean, there are more fish.
If there's more water in the ocean, there are more plants.
Global Warming is causing the Sea Ice to Melt. This makes the oceans have more water.
Why is this bad for the Climate?
It's making the oceans cooler, causing climates to get cooler.
It's making the oceans cooler, causing fish to die.
It's making the oceans warmer, causing climates to get warmer.
It's making the oceans warmer, causing there to be more fish.
