Miscellaneous
100
This what we call average weather conditions over a long period of time.
What is "climate"?
100
We speculate that ___________ watered the plants before the flood (and rain).
What is "streams" or "mist" or "ground fog"?
100
This is what we call the increase in the earth's average temperature over time.
What is global warming?
100
_________________ is the condition in the atmosphere at any given time.
What is weather?
100
True or false: Deserts can be cold.
TRUE!
Yep. Cold, but dryyyyyyyy. A desert is always dry, not always hot.
200
This climate type is very dry.
What is a desert?
200
There may have been just one of these before the flood.
What is one large landmass?
*also would indicate there was just one sea, as well. Half points for this answer since we specifically talked about the landmass possibly making things warm.
200
______________________ describes heat being trapped in the earth's atmosphere.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
200
True or false: The flood did not change the Earth very much.
What is "false"
200
True or false: It has been proven that global warming is primarily caused by man’s actions.
FALSE!
What HAS been proven is that man's actions have had just a little effect. Some, but not much!
300
This climate type is wet and warm all the year.
What is tropical?
300
This is the big weather event we believe was triggered by the global flood
What is the Ice Age?
300
The earth's temperature has __________________ over the past 150 years.
What is "increased"?
(but not by much.)
300
This type of wind brings rain to Asia!
What is monsoon wind?
300
True or false: The climate changes from day to day.
FALSE!
climate typically changes slowly - WEATHER changes from day to day. Weather = fast; climate = slow
400
This climate type has cooler winters than tropical areas, but that's about the biggest difference.
What is sub-tropical?
400
The earth's climate was probably mostly like this climate type before the flood.
What is tropical?
400
These are ways that global warming could benefit humans.
What is:
• less death from cold?
• more area to grow things (arctic areas and Siberia)?
• easier trading in the far north?
400
This is what finding fossils of dinosaurs in Antartica can tell us.
What is that it might have been warmer and more tropical in Antartica long ago?
400
True or false: Carbon dioxide is the main cause of the greenhouse effect?
False!
what is the main cause? water vapor.
500
This climate type has four distinct seasons.
What is temperate?
500
This is how an area's climate may have changed quickly in the past.
What is "because of a great catastrophe"?
(like a global flood!)
500
We should NOT do this regarding global warming.
What is "ignore it"?
... but if you said "panic" I am also giving credit for that answer.
500
An area that primarily experiences this type of wind will usually be wet.
What are updraft winds?
why? updraft winds create lots of clouds, which eventually rain.
500
True or false: the "Coriolis effect" has something to do with wind and earth rotation.
True!
