B2: Greenhouse Gases Quiz

What are the main sources of greenhouse gases?

• Industrial emissions

• Human activities

• Natural processes

• Deforestation

Name one effect of greenhouse gases on the environment.

• Ozone depletion

• Air pollution

• Acid rain

• Global warming

How does carbon dioxide contribute to the greenhouse effect?

• By trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere

• By reflecting sunlight back into space.

• By absorbing heat from the Earth's surface.

• By causing the Earth's temperature to decrease.

What is albedo and how does it relate to greenhouse gases?

• Albedo is the measure of how much heat is trapped by greenhouse gases.

• Albedo is the measure of how much carbon dioxide is emitted by a surface, and it relates to greenhouse gases by affecting their concentration in the atmosphere.

• Albedo is the measure of how much water vapor is absorbed by greenhouse gases, and it relates to greenhouse gases by affecting their ability to trap heat.

• Albedo is the measure of how much light or radiation is reflected by a surface, and it relates to greenhouse gases by affecting the amount of sunlight absorbed or reflected by the Earth's surface.

State Stefan-Boltzmann law and its relevance to greenhouse gases.

• The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the total energy radiated by a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature. It is relevant to greenhouse gases as it helps explain how these gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere.

• The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the total energy radiated by a black body is directly proportional to its temperature. It is relevant to greenhouse gases as it demonstrates how these gases reflect heat away from the Earth's atmosphere.

• The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the total energy radiated by a black body is inversely proportional to its temperature. It is relevant to greenhouse gases as it shows how these gases cool down the Earth's atmosphere.

• The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the total energy radiated by a black body is proportional to its temperature. It is relevant to greenhouse gases as it explains how these gases absorb heat in the Earth's atmosphere.

Which greenhouse gas is primarily responsible for global warming?

• carbon dioxide (CO2)

• ozone (O3)

• nitrous oxide (N2O)

• methane (CH4)

What are some natural sources of greenhouse gases?

• Oceanic emissions, deforestation, and industrial processes.

• Ozone depletion, transportation emissions, and urbanization.

• Volcanic eruptions, natural wetlands, and wildfires.

• Agricultural activities, solar radiation, and fossil fuel combustion.

How do greenhouse gases affect climate change?

• Greenhouse gases only affect local weather patterns, not global climate change.

• Greenhouse gases cool down the Earth's atmosphere.

• Greenhouse gases have no impact on climate change.

• Greenhouse gases trap Infraed radiagion in the Earth's atmosphere, causing the planet to warm up.

What are some ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, promoting sustainable transportation, reducing deforestation, implementing carbon capture and storage technologies, and adopting sustainable agricultural practices.

• Promoting the use of coal and oil, neglecting energy conservation, encouraging high-emission transportation, promoting deforestation, ignoring carbon capture and storage technologies, and adopting unsustainable agricultural practices.

• Continuing to rely on non-renewable energy sources, neglecting energy efficiency, promoting high-emission transportation, encouraging deforestation, ignoring carbon capture and storage technologies, and adopting unsustainable agricultural practices.

• Increasing fossil fuel consumption, promoting deforestation, using inefficient energy sources, ignoring sustainable transportation, implementing carbon-emitting technologies, and adopting unsustainable agricultural practices.

What is the role of methane in the greenhouse effect?

• Methane absorbs heat from the Earth's surface and re-emits it back into the atmosphere.

• Methane reflects sunlight back into space, reducing the Earth's temperature.

• Methane traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

• Methane has no significant role in the greenhouse effect.
