Select all factors that affect the climate of Hong Kong and Macau:
Attitude
Altitude
Distance from the sea
Monsoon
Variations in the angle of solar radiation
(T/F) Inlands regions are hotter in summer, cooler in winter, and drier than nearby coastal regions.
True
False
(T/F) Highlands are cooler, more humid and rainy than lowlands.
True
False
Select all climate changes in Hong Kong and Macau in recent decades:
Increase in annual mean temperature
Decrease in rainfall
Better visibility
Increase in wind speed
More frequent extreme weather conditions
Major reasons for the climate change in HK and Macau include:
More industries and factories are built in the past few years
Increase in the emission of greenhouse gases to trap heat
Rapid economic development in the Zhujiang Delta
The urban heat island effect
South China lies on _____________ latitudes. It receives high-angle to medium-angle solar radiation.
lower
higher
Which of the following countries receive the most sunlight in a year because of the highest angle of solar radiation?
Russia
China
Portugal
Singapore
(T/F) Rapid economic development in the Zhujiang Delta causes more greenhouse gases and air pollutants to be emitted. In winters, onshore winds carry the air pollutants to HK & Macau.
True
False
The urban heat island effect means that urban areas are warmer than the (a) areas nearby.
The (a) mean temperature of HK & Macau has risen in recent centuries.
(T/F) Macau will have longer summers and shorter winters.
True
False
Visibility is said to be poor when objects at __________ away cannot be seen clearly in the day even when there is no rain, fog or mist.
8m
80m
800m
8000m
(T/F) The time period with poor or reduced visibility in HK & Macau has become shorter. This is due to the decrease in the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere.
True
False
Examples of greenhouse gases include:
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)
Ozone (O3)
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
All of the above
More greenhouse gases and air pollutants are emitted from burning of (a) fuels, use of energy for driving vehicles, industrial processes, and disposal of waste in landfills.
(T/F) Regions with the highest annual rainfall (1000mm or above) are found along or near the polar regions.
True
False
(T/F) Regions with the lowest annual rainfall (250mm or below) are found in the continental interiors of subtropical or temperate regions, such as northern Africa and Central Asia.
True
False

Temperate climate
Continental climate
Polar climate
Which of the following climates has very long cold winters and snow all the year?
Dry climate
Temperate climate
Continental climate
Polar climate
(T/F) Continental climate usually has low annual rainfall and extreme annual range of temperature.
True
False
Select all the effects of climate change on different parts of the world:
More extreme weather
More natural hazards
Dropping sea levels
Changes in ecosystem
Increase the spread of diseases
Changes in global climate cause more extreme weather. Examples of extreme weather include:
As more greenhouse gases accumulate, heat waves are becoming severe and crop production is reduced.
Global warming also leads to warmer winters in temperate regions.
Continuous heavy rains and violent storms have become more common.
All of the above
Changes in global climate increase the occurrence of natural hazards such as:
Earthquakes
Wildfires
Drought and flooding
Tsunamis
Volcanic Eruption
(T/F) Climate change may affect the ecosystem. Polar bears are at risk as ice melts in the Antarctic Ocean.
True
False
