Use this diagram to answer questions 12-14:

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that absorbs thermal energy, resulting in an increase in air temperature. An increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes a feedback loop that stresses coral reef ecosystems by causing seawater temperature to increase.

A student created the following model to represent this feedback loop:

How could climate change affect polar regions?
It will make them warmer
It will make them colder
It won't affect them

It is believed that the burning of fossil fuels causes a build-up of gases in the world's atmosphere called:
Greenhouse gases
Atmospheric temperature
Climate change
How do plants affect the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?
They reduce carbon dioxide levels
They increase carbon dioxide levels
They don't affect carbon dioxide levels
Meteorologists studying the change in a region's precipitation over a 20-year period are studying the region's weather.
True
False

Why are China and India's carbon dioxide emissions increasing? (Select all that apply)
Burning of fossil fuels for electricity
Water usage
Food Production
Ocean Currents
Industrial Revolution
Population Growth
Which of these factors most contributes to current climate change?
Sun spots
Littering
Carbon dioxide emissions
Scientists argue that the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is:
Not increasing
Rapidly Increasing
Decreasing
Which of the following is NOT a naturally occurring greenhouse gas?
Nitrous oxide
Carbon Dioxide
Chlorofluorocarbons
Water vapor
How does the greenhouse effect work?
Greenhouse gases directly warm oceans and cause dramatic weather.
Greenhouse gases absorb the sun's energy, slowing or preventing heat from escaping into space.
Oceans absorb greenhouse gases, which cause the Earth's temperature to rise.
Which area of the United States economy produces the most greenhouse gas emissions?
Industry
Transportation
Electricity
Agriculture
What type of feedback does the model represent?
Positive
Negative
As the air temperature increases over time, the amount of sea ice melting will
increase
decrease
Which of the following would speed up the rate of change in the feedback loop?
Planting a new forest
Walking to school instead of driving to school
Increasing the number of trucks driving on roads
Replacing a coal power plant with a solar power plant
The diagram below indicates the amoung of solar radiation that is reflected by equal areas of various materials on Earth's surface.

Which material has the highest albedo?
Grassy field
Fresh snow
Sand
Forest
