SCI 8 Unit 4 - Pt. 1
Earth's Changing Climate
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| General weather patterns over a long period of time. | Climate (1.2) |
| Changes in climate over a long period of time that can be caused by natural events or human activities. | Climate Change (1.2) |
| Variations in a set of data. | Fluctuations (1.2) |
| Overall tendency (for example, a consistent increase) in a set of data over time. | Trend (1.2) |
| The ability to make things move or change. | Energy (1.3) |
| A measure of how hot or cold something is. | Temperature (1.3) |
| To take in. | Absorb (1.3) |
| The mixture of gases surrounding a planet. | Atmosphere (1.4) |
| A molecule made of carbon and oxygen. | Carbon Dioxide (1.5) |
| A molecule made of carbon and hydrogen atoms. | Methane (1.5) |
| An object, diagram, or computer program that helps us understand something by making it simpler or easier to see. | Model (2.1) |
| Things people do that affect the Earth system. | Human Activities (2.1) |
| When something stays mostly the same over time. | Stability (2.1) |
| When something become different over time. | Change (2.1) |
| There is a trend toward increasing temperatures and decreasing ice on Earth since about ________________ | 1880 (Key Concept 1) |
| Global average temperature increases when energy _______________ by the surface increases. | Absorbed (Key Concept 2) |
| When amount of ________________________ or ________________________ increases, energy absorbed by the surface also increases. | Carbon Dioxide ; Methane (Key Concept 4) |
| Temperature increases if ________________________ energy enters than exits. | More (Key Concept 8) |
| If there is an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide or methane, the amount of energy leaving the Earth system ________________________, so more energy enters than exits. | Decreases (Key Concept 10) |
| Carbon Dioxide and Methane stop energy from leaving by ________________________ energy that would have ________________________ the system. | Redirecting ; Exit (Key Concept 12) |
| An increase in Carbon Dioxide or Methane means ________________________ energy will enter than exit. | More (Key Concept 10) |
| An decrease in Carbon Dioxide or Methane means ________________________ energy will enter than exit. | Less (Key Concept 11) |
| An increase in Nitrogen Dioxide will ________________________ the temperature of Earth. | Not affect. (Nitrogen Dioxide does not interact with energy) |
| An increase in Sulfur Dioxide will ________________________ the temperature of Earth. | Decrease |
