What is global warming?

a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere.

a change in global or regional climate patterns

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land.

The action of clearing a wide area of trees.

What is climate change?

a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.

The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.

a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, and other pollutants.

The action of clearing a wide area of trees.

Which of the following is a consequence of global warming? (Choose all that apply)

More severe storms and weather.

Increased forest fires and drought.

How are greenhouse gasses harming our environment?

Less heat is able to escape causing the Earth to warm up

Less heat is able to escape causing the Earth to cool down

Why do we need greenhouse gasses?

They help regulate Earth's climate

We don't! All greenhouse gasses are bad

They decrease Earth's temperature

On the picture, the heat out is decreasing . What can we assume if this is happening?

Greenhouse gasses are increasing

There is no change in the graph

We don't have any greenhouse gasses

Greenhouse gasses are decreasing

Do we need greenhouse gases on Earth?

Yes - they keep all the gases on our planet

No - they only cause terrible climate change

No - they only block some of the Sun's rays

Why is the increase of Greenhouse gasses a big issue?

It causes climate change and increase in the global temerature

It can lead to a major increase in Greenhouses

It causes a major decrease in people

How can global warming cause sea levels to rise? Choose the best answer.

by melting glaciers and ice caps

by causing it to rain more often

by increasing the number of undersea volcanic eruptions

by creating bigger and more powerful hurricanes

What is this difference between global warming and the greenhouse effect?

Global warming refers to a change in the Earth's climate that is causing it to heat up; the greenhouse effect is a natural process that happens constantly, due to sunlight and the atmosphere.

Global warming and the greenhouse effect are the same thing.

The greenhouse effect comes within global warming.

Global warming comes within the greenhouse effect

Things you can do to help decrease global warming include:

Turn off your lights when you’re not using them.

Keep your air conditioner on high.

Purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables from the local farmer’s market

Purchasing meats packaged at the local supermarket, but trucked in from out of state

Purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables at the local supermarket that were shipped from out of state

None of these choices will reduce her carbon footprint

The graph below shows CO2 emissions and temperatures from 1909 to 1949. What conclusion is best supported by the graph?

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

There is no relationship between carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures decrease

As carbon dioxide concentrations decrease, temperatures increase

The planetary albedo refers to...

the ability of the planet to reflect solar radiation back into space.

the ability of the planet to absorb solar radiation in the surface.

the ability of the planet to deflect the solar radiation before it reaches the surface.

the ability to trap the energy of solar radiation within our atmosphere.

The enhanced greenhouse effect is linked to

the destruction of the Ozone Layer

Agriculture has had a variable impact on the Earth’s carbon cycle because...

forests are turned into farmland.

the burning of wild fires add CO2 to the atmosphere.

farm animals have a very high carbon footprint.

forest are being removed because people need lumber and wood for contruction purposes.

Which of the following are mitigation strategies?

using alternatives to fossil fuels

reducing emissions of nitrous oxides and methane from agriculture

planting more trees and vegetation
