Which 2 gases in earth's atmosphere are believed to be major contributors to global warming?

• ozone and chlorine

• hydrogen and helium

• oxygen and nitrogen

• carbon dioxide an methane

Why are carbon dioxide and water vapor called greenhouse gases?

• they are found in varying amounts in the atmosphere

• they are good reflectors of infrared radiation

• they are good absorbers of infrared radiation

• they are found in fixed amounts in earth's bedrock

The most likely cause in the overall change in CO2 over the decades is an increase in the

• use of nuclear power

• use of fossil fuels

• number of violent storms

• number of volcanic eruptions

What is the primary function of the clear glass of the greenhouse?

• The glass reduces the amount of insolation entering the greenhouse

• The glass allows all wavelengths of radiation to enter and escape

• The glass allows long wavelengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of short wavelength that escapes

• The glass allows short wavelengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of long wavelengths that escapes

What could be a reason for a location to have little annual temperature variations?

• it can be on the dry side of a mountain

• it can be a mid latitude (around 40 degrees)

• it can be inland

• it can be near the equator

A location at the equator has

• low air pressure and low precipitation

• low air pressure and high precipitation

• high air pressure and low precipitation

• high air pressure and high precipitation

Why would 2 cities at the same elevation and latitude have different temperature ranges?

• one might be closer to a large body of water

• because they have different longitudes

• because one might be more populated than the other

• because they have different amounts of forests
