Changes in climate that causes an impact and changes climate further
Feedback loops
A measure of heat; measured with a thermometer

Sun is more concentrated near which part of Earth?
Equator
All water on Earth
Hydropshere
Transformation of liquid water to water vapor (gas)
Evaporation
More solar radiation reflected usually results in what type of climates
Cooler
The circulation of water through the hydrosphere from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back
Water Cycle
If the North pole is tilted away from the sun it is in which season?

All living things on Earth
Biosphere
Molecules tightly packed together are what state of matter
Solid
True or False: Global Warming only has negative effects on living things
False

A higher albedo percentage means (more or less) light is reflected?
More
Earth's landforms
Geosphere
Water cooling off and transforming back into liquid water in clouds
Condensation
How are maple trees affected by warmer temperatures? (written out answer required)
The warmer temperatures make it difficult for the trees to grow. With the help of wind, rain, and animals, the tree seeds have been moved more northern where the temperatures are cooler. These cooler temperatures are more ideal for the trees to grow in.
Earth's ability to reflect the sun's light
Albedo
Name two different factors that influences the percentage of albedo
Color, type of structure, texture, state of matter
Mixture of gasses, dust, water vapor, and molecules above Earth's crust
Atmosphere
Water moving through plants' roots to leaves and released back to atmosphere
Transpiration
Which part of Earth absorbs the most amount of sunlight?
Oceans
