Which statement best describes the trend of the following graph?
Overall the mean global temperatures have remained the same since 1860.
The highest increase in global temperatures occurred in the 21st century.
Overall, the global mean temperatures between 1860 and 2009 were increasing.
Overall, the global mean temperatures had great variations between 1860 and 2009.
What effect do greenhouse gases have on temperature?
Greenhouse gases will trap oxygen and sulfur in the atmosphere which causes acid rain.
Greenhouse gases condense to form clouds and the rain is warmer than normal.
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global temperature to rise over time.
Greenhouse gases are important to the growth and health of plant life growing on land and along the ocean shores
What gases are considered to be greenhouse gases? Which is most abundant in our atmosphere? Select 2 that apply.
Methane and nitrous oxide are greenhouse gases.
Sulfur dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
Carbon dioxide is the most abundant in our atmosphere.
Methane released from farm animals is the most abundant greenhouse gas.
In general, what can you say about the relationship between CO2 and temperature from looking at this graph? Select 2 that apply.
As the amount of CO2 increased the average global temperature decreased.
Since 1880, both the concentration of CO2 and global average temperatures are rising.
Both the concentration of CO2 and global average temperatures are rising more quickly since 1980.
There is no clear relationship between the amount of CO2 and increased global temperatures.
What pattern or trend do you see in these data?
Although the human population has increased since 1900, global CO2 emissions have decreased.
There is no connection between rising CO2 emissions and rising populations.
Since 1900, the global population has increased, and so did the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
As global CO2 emissions were increasing, the global population was decreasing.
