• Celsius

• British

• Kelvin

• Fahrenheit

Which of the following is NOT considered a greenhouse gas?

• Methane

• Oxygen

• Water Vapor

• Carbon Dioxide

Two materials, A (water) and B (land), have the same mass, but the specific heat of object A is greater than object B. If both objects absorb equal amounts of energy...

• B's temperature will increase faster than A

• A's temperature will increase faster than B

• A's temperature will increase, but B's temperature will decrease

• The temperature of A and B will increase at the same rate
