Weather & Climate

What is global warming?

• Global warming is the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities.

• Global warming is a natural phenomenon that has no human influence.

• Global warming is caused by aliens.

• Global warming is a myth created by scientists.

How does global warming affect the Earth's climate?

• Global warming affects the Earth's climate by causing changes in temperature, weather patterns, sea levels, and more.

• Global warming leads to a decrease in extreme weather events

• Global warming has no impact on the Earth's climate

• Global warming only affects the climate in a positive way

What are some of the main causes of global warming?

• Reduced consumption of meat and dairy products

• Increased use of renewable energy sources

• Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, and agricultural practices

• Planting more trees in urban areas

Explain the greenhouse effect and its role in global warming.

• Global warming is solely a result of natural processes

• The greenhouse effect is caused by the depletion of the ozone layer

• Greenhouse gases have no impact on the Earth's temperature

• The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface by trapping heat in the atmosphere through greenhouse gases. Human activities have intensified this effect, contributing to global warming.

What are the potential consequences of global warming?

• Increase in wildlife population

• Decrease in air pollution

• Stabilization of global temperatures

• Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, disruptions to agriculture and food supply

What is the ozone layer and how does it relate to global warming?

• The ozone layer is a protective layer in the Earth's atmosphere that absorbs harmful UV radiation from the sun. Its depletion due to human activities contributes to global warming by allowing more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface.

• The ozone layer is a layer of water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere that absorbs harmful UV radiation, contributing to global warming.

• The ozone layer is a layer of ice in the Earth's atmosphere that reflects sunlight, causing global warming.

• The ozone layer is a layer of greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming.

What is the purpose of a thermometer in measuring weather?

• To measure wind speed

• To measure humidity

• To measure temperature

• To measure air pressure

Describe how a barometer works and its significance in weather forecasting.

• A barometer predicts weather based on the phases of the moon.

• A barometer works by detecting humidity levels in the air.

• A barometer works by measuring atmospheric pressure, which helps predict weather changes.

• A barometer measures wind speed to predict weather changes.

What is a hygrometer used for in weather measurements?

• To measure wind speed

• To predict earthquakes

• To measure humidity levels in the atmosphere

• To analyze cloud formations

Explain the function of anemometer in weather observations.

• An anemometer measures temperature in weather observations.

• An anemometer measures air pressure in weather observations.

• An anemometer measures humidity in weather observations.

• An anemometer measures wind speed and direction in weather observations.
