The greenhouse effect is about
warming the atmosphere because of increased CO2 levels
warming the atmosphere because of decreased CO2 levels
cooing the atmosphere because of increased CO2 levels
cooling the atmosphere because of decreased CO2 levels
The greenhouse effect is a natural process
true
false
The greenhouse effect is caused by
more heat arriving at the Earth from the sun
the Earth releasing more heat at night
gases in the air trapping heat released by the Earth
The graph shows us that
the earth temperature is always increasing
the earth's temperature has steadily increased since 1900
the earth's temperature has steadily rising since the 1960s
the earth's temperature decreased during the 19th and 20th centuries
burning
melting
exploding
incinerating
respiration and decomposition
respiration and photosynthesis
death
burning
both remove carbon from the atmosphere
both add carbon to the atmosphere
both add carbon to the lithosphere
both remove carbon from the lithosphere
Earth's energy budget tracks how much energy flows in and out of Earth's climate.
True
False
The way in which heat is trapped close to the surface of Earth by gases in our atmosphere is known as
The Trapping Effect
The Gaseous Effect
The Greenhouse Effect
The Earth Energy Budget Effect
Earth's energy budget is like an equation. Choose the correct equation.
energy in = energy out
energy in is less than energy out
energy in is more than energy out
Which type of energy is emitted from Earth to the atmosphere?
ultraviolet radiation
visible radiation
infrared radiation
aurora borealis
When Earth receives energy from the Sun, some energy is not reflected back into space.
True
False
When Earth receives energy from the Sun, some of it is absorbed by the atmosphere.
True
False
When Earth receives energy from the Sun, some is absorbed by land and water.
True
False
When Earth receives energy from the Sun, the energy is spread evenly over Earth.
True
False
A light color has a higher albedo than a dark color.
True
False
A dark color has a higher albedo than a light color.
True
False
The higher the albedo of a material, the more solar energy will reflect.
True
False
When did climate change (CO2 in the atmosphere) increase significantly?
1800s Industrial Revolution
1600s Industrial Revolution
1800 Crusades
1600 Crusades
What is the definition of climate?
The condition of the air around the Earth
The rainforest
The pattern of weather over time
How hot it is in a certain place
What types of data have scientists collected related to climate change?
Measuring Earth’s current temperature and CO2
Examining ice/glacier melting
Taking educated guesses
The ice caps are getting bigger/growing
In the 1800's why did CO2 levels increase significantly?
New factories were being built that caused more pollution
The civil war caused more pollution
Scientists figured out how to clean up pollution in the air
It did not increase
What are some potential consequences of climate change?
The sea levels will rise putting seaside towns and cities at risk of drowning
The sea levels will drop putting seaside towns and cities at risk of drowning
More extreme weather
Animals will be able to adapt to the changes
Melting land ice...
causes sea levels to rise because it adds water to the ocean.
does not cause sea levels to rise because the water fills the space left by the melted sea ice.
MAIN greenhouse gas responsible for Climate Change is:
nitrogen
carbon
carbon dioxide
methane
Which natural process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
forest fires
volcanic eruptions
cellular respiration
photosynthesis
