Lower sea level and increased biodiversity

What phenomenon naturally warms Earth's lower atmosphere and surface?

Changes in the shape of Earth's orbit

The following graph shows the change in global temperatures over the past 140 years: Which of the following theories does this graph support?

Global temperatures have risen due to an increase in carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning

Global temperatures have risen due to an increase in sunspots

Global temperatures have risen due to a change in Earth's tilt

Global temperatures have risen due to an increase in volcanic eruptions

How can humans mitigate their impact on the atmosphere?

Increasing industrial byproducts

How is climate different from weather?

Climate is based on observations made for a region over several years, whereas weather is based on day-to-day observations for a region.

Climate is constantly changing, whereas weather changes slowly over time.

Climate refers to the atmospheric conditions on a given date, whereas weather refers to the atmospheric conditions during a given season.

Climate influences people's daily activities, whereas weather influences people's seasonal activities.

Why does the temperature in urban heat islands remain high even at night?

Concrete continues releasing absorbed heat throughout the night

The effects of global warming compound the heat caused by local factors

There are still cars and buses traveling through the streets at night

Winds are unable to circulate enough cool air through the city

Which of these situations would most likely be a result of climate change?

shrinking glaciers, causing sea levels to rise

weaker storms, causing less shoreline erosion

shorter days, causing longer hibernation periods

increased radioactivity, causing damage to cells

What statement describes the general movement of air masses?

They move from high pressure to low pressure

They move from high altitude to low altitude

They move from low humidity to high humidity

They move from low temperature to high temperature

How are the two air masses interacting in the picture below?

Cold air is colliding with warm air sending the warm air up into the atmosphere quickly

Warm air is colliding with cold air sending the cold air up into the atmosphere quickly

Cold air is colliding with cold air sending the warm air up into the atmosphere slowly

Warm air is colliding with cold air sending the warm air up into the atmosphere slowly

According to the graph below how does air density change with altitude?

Density decreases as altitude increases

Density increases as altitude increases

Density stabilizes as altitude increases

Density varies as altitude increases

As the relative humidity goes up what is likely to happen to the dew point?

Sometimes it increases, sometimes it decreases

As water vapor rises into the atmosphere how does this impact the atmospheric conditions?

Relative humidity will increase as clouds form

Relative humidity will decrease as clouds dissipate

Relative humidity will increase as clouds dissipate

Relative humidity will decrease as clouds form

How can a weather satellite be useful in preparation for cyclonic storms?

Satellites can warn people about the approaching storm

Satellites can change the direction of the storm

Satellites can tell people how long the storm will last

Satellites can change the effect of the storm on the beach

Which of the following steps SHOULD NOT be taken in preparation for a cyclonic storm?

Leave town even though you weren't ordered to evacuate

Have battery operated radios and flashlights

Which statement best describes the ozone layer of Earth?

It helps reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation reaching the surface of the Earth.

It prevents the formation of severe storms in the stratosphere of Earth.

It increases the amount of nitrogen in the troposphere of Earth.

It forms a magnetic field in the mesosphere of Earth.

How does heat from the sun get to Earth?

by radiation, using electromagnetic waves to transfer the heat

by convection, using liquids and gases to transfer the heat

by conduction, using solids to transfer the heat

by absorption, using primary waves to transfer heat

Which of these statements BEST describes temperature as elevation in the atmosphere increases?

Temperature generally decreases with elevation in the troposphere.

Temperature remains constant with elevation in the thermosphere.

Temperature remains constant with elevation in the mesosphere.

Temperature generally decreases with elevation in the stratosphere.
