What happens when energy hits sulfur dioxide?

Sulfur dioxide redirects (bounces) some incoming energy from the sun back toward outer space.

When energy hits sulfur dioxide, more energy is created.

Sulfur dioxide traps some energy and holds it in the atmosphere.

Energy always passes through sulfur dioxide.

What is one reason that carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere today?

There are more people doing things that use combustion.

There are more volcanoes than there were in the past.

People are riding bicycles instead of driving cars.

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. How did energy in the Earth system change during this time?

There was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy entered than exited.

There was more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy entered than exited.

There was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy entered than exited.

There was less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy entered than exited.

How did energy in the Earth system change during this time?

Less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface --> less energy entered than exited

More energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface --> more energy entered than exited.

There are some bacteria that release methane into the atmosphere. Scientists think that if the number of these bacteria decreased , the amount of methane in the atmosphere would decrease . If methane in the atmosphere decreases , energy in the Earth system would . . .

Decrease, because less energy would enter than exit.

Decrease, because more energy would enter than exit.

Scientists have tools that measure the amount of energy entering and exiting the Earth system. Recently, more energy entered the system than exited . What might scientists expect to see in the atmosphere?

Methane increased , leading to more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface.

Methane decreased , leading to less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth’s surface.

Ice core data from Greenland indicates there was a time period on Earth when the atmosphere changed so more energy entered the Earth system than exited . What change to the atmosphere could have caused this?

Carbon dioxide increased , leading to more energy in the Earth system because more exiting energy bounced back toward Earth.

Carbon dioxide decreased , leading to more energy in the Earth system because less energy from the sun bounced back toward outer space.

A climatologist is creating a simulation for Earth’s climate and is working on how to set it up. One of the options for the simulation is to increase methane in the atmosphere . There will be . . .

more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because more energy enters than exits.

more energy in the Earth system and more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface, because less energy enters than exits.

What is the primary cause of the current trend in global warming?

C) Human activities such as burning fossil fuels

What is the effect of melting polar ice caps on global sea levels?

D) Sea levels fluctuate unpredictably

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

C) It increases carbon dioxide levels

B) It decreases carbon dioxide levels

D) It has no effect on climate change
