Climate Change Quiz

What are the major greenhouse gases responsible for climate change?

• Sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone

• Water vapor, helium, and neon

• Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide

• Oxygen, nitrogen, and argon

How do human activities contribute to greenhouse gas emissions?

• Using renewable energy sources

• Reducing carbon emissions

• Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes

• Planting more trees

What are some strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

• Implementing carbon pricing

• Planting more trees

• Increasing fossil fuel consumption

• Ignoring environmental regulations

How does climate change affect the biodiversity of an ecosystem?

• Climate change can lead to habitat loss, changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events, all of which can directly impact the biodiversity of an ecosystem.

• Climate change only affects the physical environment, not the biodiversity

• Biodiversity increases with climate change

• Climate change has no impact on the biodiversity of an ecosystem

What are the potential consequences of biodiversity loss due to climate change?

• Decrease in global temperature, increase in species population, and healthier ecosystems

• Loss of habitats, extinction of species, disruption of ecosystems, and reduced resilience to environmental changes.

• Increase in biodiversity, stronger ecosystems, and improved environmental resilience

• No impact on habitats, no extinction of species, and no disruption of ecosystems

What are some measures that can be taken to protect biodiversity from the effects of climate change?

• Using more fossil fuels

• Creating protected areas, restoring degraded ecosystems, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable land use practices

• Increasing industrial pollution

• Cutting down more trees

What is the average global temperature rise since the industrial revolution?

• 0.5 degrees Celsius

• 1 degree Celsius

• 5 degrees Celsius

• 10 degrees Celsius

How does global temperature rise contribute to extreme weather events?

• Global temperature rise only affects mild weather events.

• Extreme weather events are not influenced by global temperature rise.

• Global temperature rise has no impact on extreme weather events.

• Global temperature rise can lead to more frequent and intense extreme weather events.

What are the main sources of ocean acidification?

• Carbon dioxide absorption and nutrient runoff

• Deforestation and soil erosion

• Industrial waste and sewage discharge

• Oil spills and plastic pollution

What are the impacts of ocean acidification on marine life?

• Affects the ability of organisms to build and maintain their shells and skeletons, disrupts the food web, and causes harm to fish and other marine animals.

• Increases the population of marine life

• Causes a decrease in water temperature

• Has no impact on marine life
