Climate Change
Test your knowledge of climate change
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A natural process in the atmosphere that creates the earth's climate | Greenhouse Effect |
| When human activity makes the Greenhouse Effect more efficient | Enhanced Greenhouse Effect |
| This process causes climate change because continents move position | Continental Drift |
| This causes large quantities of fine particles to be placed in the atmosphere, reflecting sunlight and lowering temperatures | Volcanic Eruptions |
| This human activity reduces the amount of carbon sinks | Deforestation |
| Burning these releases large stores of carbon | Fossil Fuels |
| This is the name given to where carbon is produced | Carbon Source |
| This graph charts the rise in CO2 since 1958 | The Keeling Curve |
| CO2 in the atmosphere rises in winter and falls in summer due to this | Seasonal loss of leaves in winter |
| The reason why population growth causes climate change | More food and space needed, causing deforestation |
| The reason why richer countries produce more CO2 | More industries, power stations and transport buring fossil fuels |
| This provides evidence that temperatures in mountain areas has increased | Glaciers have retreated |
| This provides evidence that temperatures in Polar regions has increased | melting ice caps |
| this provides evidence that seasons have changed | birds migrating earlier/later |
| this provides evidence that climate belts have moved | plant and animal species exist in new areas |
| This is when the sea becomes warmer and expands, taking up more space | thermal expansion and sea level rise |
| What is carbon capture? | When CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere |
| What is energy efficiency? | When appliances use less energy so reduce use of fossil fuels |
| How does renewable energy prevent climate change? | It uses resources that do not produce CO2 |
| How does recycling prevent climate change? | It reduces landfill and so less methane is produced |
