How does the Earth keep itself warm?
Sunlight keeps the Earth warm.
There are heat lamps orbitting above the Earth's atmosphere.
The greenhouse gases trap the warm air heated by the Sun and send it back to the Earth's surface.
I don't know
According to the graph, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and time?
According to the graph, what is the relationship between temperature and time?
there is no relationship
According to the graph, what can be concluded from the data?
As carbon dioxide increased, the temperature increased too
As carbon dioxide increased, the temperature decreased
As carbon dioxide increased, the temperature remained constant
there is no relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature
What I see from the graph is that both lines are increasing. I know that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas so that means the temperature is increasing because the heat is being ________?
Absorbed and released by the carbon dioxide
Generated by carbon dioxide
Generated by humans
I don't know
What was the historic reason for the increase in carbon dioxide?
The Industrial Revolution
Mt. Vesuvius erupting
El Cielo Forest Fire
World War II
According to these graphs, which rain forest had the most rain?
Temperate
Tropical
They were equal
I have no idea
According to these graphs, which rain forest had the highest temperatures?
Temperate
Tropical
They were equal
I have no idea
According to these graphs, we could conclude that the higher the temperature, the higher the _________?
Precipitation
Wind speeds
We can't make a conclusion
I have no idea
According to the graph, what is happening to the glaciers?
I don't know
During the same time period as the glacier graph, we studied the Carbon Dioxide and Temperature graph. What could we say is a conclusion based on these graphs?
The glaciers are growing because of the temperature
The glaciers are staying the same size because of the temperature
I don't know
The glaciers are shrinking because of the temperature
During the iceberg v glacier lab, which one had the greatest change in the water level?
they were the same
I don't know
How did the warming of the Earth's atmosphere affect the hydrosphere in this case?
It made it rain
It melted the glaciers and icebergs
it had no affect
I don't know
According to this lab, what causes the sea levels to rise?
Melting icebergs
Melting glaciers
it had no affect
I don't know
What does evaporation produce?
Precipitation
Rain or Snow
Water Vapor
Condensation
______ is the process through which water falls from clouds in the form of rain, snow, and freezing rain.
Precipitation
Condensation
Sublimation
Evaporation
The biogeochemical cycle that includes cloud, rain, rivers and oceans is known as the ____ ____.
Water Cycle
Nitrogen Cycle
Carbon Cycle
Nutrient Cycle
The stages of the water cycle are...
(think of the first stage that involves the sun)
evaporation
condensation
precipitation
condensation
water vapor
precipitation
wind

The biosphere is...
the part of the Earth that contains water.
the part of the Earth that contains living organisms.
the part of the Earth that contains the earth's crust.
the part of the Earth that contains the gases.
During the unit, we have concluded that CO2 has increased, which has increased the temperature, which has increased the rate the glaciers and icebergs melt, which has led to the decrease in the size of the glaciers and icebergs. How will this impact the biosphere?
Flooding the coasts due to sea levels rising and no habitat for animals like the Polar Bear
Flooding the plains due to sea levels rising and no habitat for animals like the rabbits
It will not impact the biosphere
I don't know
