Why does the Earth have different climate zones?
The Moon controls the climate on Earth
The Earth is tilted on its axis so it gets different amounts of sunlight around it.
Some areas are close to oceans and others are not.
A combination of a temperature and precipitation chart over time is called a:
Weather Table
y-axis
Climatograph
Climate Chart
Which of the following is NOT an example of something Nova Scotia has done to decrease greenhouse emissions
First province to require all streetlights are LED
Compost more than any other province per person
Is a leader in using wind power to generate electricity
Is a top producer of electric vehicles
Which of the following is not a sign of past climate change
Tree rings
Ice cores
Coral rings
Tides
Some Nova Scotian citizens and scientists are concerned climate change will impact our:
Wind direction
Coastlines
Politicians
Lumber prices
A tree ring can teach you about past climate because
the browner the wood the better the growing seasons
the more rings, the less frost there was
the larger the rings, the better the growing seasons
the more rings, the more times they were eaten by insects
Arctic and Antarctic sea ice is:
Increasing
Staying the same
Decreasing
Full of dead fish
In Nova Scotia over the past 10 years, our summers have been:
Colder than average

Kinetic Molecular Theory states that:
The more heat energy applied to particles of matter, the faster they move
The more heat energy applied to particles of matter, the slower they move
The more climate change on earth, the more molecules there are
The more cold applied to particles of matter, the more they spread apart
Kinetic Molecular Theory states that:
All matter is made up of light
All matter is made up of tiny particles
All matter is made up of metals
All matter is made up of swiss cheese
Energy transmitted by electromagnetic waves
conduction
convection
radiation
How does heat move?
from a warmer to a cooler object
from a cooler to a warmer object
toward a hot object
away from a cold object
__________ is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
When you touch hot sand, heat is transferred by _________ to your skin.
conduction
convection
radiation
Two fluids, one warm and one cold, mix. The warm fluid rises and the cool fluid sinks
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
How is the greenhouse effect produced?
When solar energy trespasses the atmosphere.
When some energy is reflected back to earth.
When the green house is burned.
When the sun doesn't emit radiation.
Green House gases
absorb the sun's radiation and trap heat
are good for our health
absorb gravity and keep us attached to Earth
expulse radiation to the sun and prevent us from getting to warm
What gas is known for increasing the amount of "trapped" heat in the atmosphere?
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Methane
Carbon Dioxide
