Understanding Climate Change

The video discusses climate change, highlighting the evidence of glaciers shrinking over time. It explains the concept of global climate and the rapid rise in Earth's temperature over the past 150 years. The negative effects of global warming, such as rising sea levels and extreme weather, are explored. Human activities, including pollution and deforestation, are identified as major contributors to climate change. The video concludes with solutions to combat climate change, emphasizing the importance of reducing pollution and working together globally.

What evidence is used to demonstrate climate change in the introduction?

• Rise in average global temperatures

• Changes in animal migration patterns

• Increase in global sea levels

• Comparison of glacier images taken 50 years apart

What has been the increase in Earth's average temperature over the last 100 years?

• 1 degree Fahrenheit

• 2 degrees Fahrenheit

• 3 degrees Fahrenheit

• 4 degrees Fahrenheit

Which of the following is NOT a negative effect of global warming mentioned in the video?

• Rising sea levels

• Increased snowfall

• Unreliable crop ripening

• Shrinking glaciers

What happens to species that cannot adapt to climate changes?

• They become endangered or extinct

• They thrive in new environments

• They remain unaffected

• They evolve rapidly

What is the role of the atmosphere in climate change?

• It acts as a barrier to sunlight

• It serves as a blanket of gases trapping heat

• It absorbs all carbon emissions

• It cools the Earth's surface

What is deforestation?

• Increasing forest density

• Reducing carbon emissions

• Chopping down large amounts of trees

• Planting more trees

How do trees help combat climate change?

• By increasing rainfall

• By providing shade

• By absorbing carbon dioxide

• By releasing oxygen

What is the greenhouse effect?

• The reduction of global temperatures

• The cooling of Earth's surface

• The trapping of heat by gases in the atmosphere

• The increase in plant growth

Which of the following is a suggested way to reduce pollution?

• Eating more meat

• Recycling

• Driving more cars

• Using more plastic

What is the ultimate goal of the suggested actions to combat climate change?

• To stop the global climate from getting warmer

• To increase global temperatures

• To reduce the number of trees

• To increase pollution levels
