- Q1What two factors are included in climate?Air pressure and humidityAir pressure and precipitationTemperature and humidityTemperature and precipitation30s
- Q2What is weather?RainfallAtmospheric conditions at a particular timeAverage highs and lowsAverage temperature and precipitation over a long period of time30s
- Q3When an air mass takes the place of another air mass, what occurs?StormsCloudsRainWind30s
- Q4Which is correct?Water heats and cools faster than landWater and land heat and cool at the same rateWater heats slower and cools faster than landWater heats and cools slower than land30s
- Q5What is the connection between rising CO2 levels and temperatureAs CO2 levels decrease, temperature increasesThere is no connection between CO2 and temperatureAs CO2 levels increase, temperatures increaseAs CO2 levels increase, temperatures decrease30s
- Q6What effect do increased ocean temperatures have on tropical storms?Increased ocean temperatures produce more storms with increased energyAs ocean temperatures decrease, tropical storms increase in energyThere is no connection between ocean temperatures and tropical stormsIncreased ocean temperatures produce fewer storms30s
- Q7What is a natural cause of global climate change?Increased use of wind energyVolcanic activityBurning fossil fuelsDeforestation30s
- Q8What is a human cause for global climate change?Humans cannot affect climateVolcanic activityA shift in the earth's rotationBurning of fossil fuels30s
- Q9Which is an effect of global climate change?Volcanic eruptions due to increased surface temperaturesIncreased numbers of wildfires due to extreme temperatures and droughtFewer tropical storms due to warmer oceansReduction in sea levels30s
- Q10What factor does not affect climate?LatitudeLarge bodies of water nearbyType of vegetationAltitude30s
- Q11What is causing sea levels to rise?Less evaporationMelting of Land Ice - GlaciersMelting of Sea Ice - Ice bergsRain30s
- Q12According to the graphic, which state will suffer the worst flooding if sea levels continue to rise?New YorkCaliforniaFloridaLouisiana30s
- Q13Use the graph to explain the relationship between CO2 and temperature.As CO2 decreases, temperature increasesAs CO2 increases, temperature increasesThere is no relationship between CO2 and temperatureAs CO2 increases, temperature decreases30s
- Q14How can we reduce CO2 emissions?We cannot change thisUse gas/diesel powered vehiclesUse coal to produce electricityUse alternative energy sources like wind or solar30s
- Q15How does latitude affect climate?The higher the latitude, the more direct the sunlight is, causing temperatures to be warmerLower latitudes give us lower temperatures.The lower the latitude, the more direct the sunlight is, causing temperatures to be warmerLatitude does not affect climate30s
