What causes global warming?
As human activity takes place, carbon-dioxide is released. It could also be volcanic eruptions that releases CO2 in the atmosphere. It could also be the Earth's position in space.
100
Name one common greenhouse gas
Carbon Dioxide
100

What is an example of a human activity that contributes to climate change?

burning fossil fuels, production of goods, land clearing for agriculture. 

100
What are two common ways of transportation that does not add to global warming?
Walking and Biking
100

Define Weather 

the conditions of the air in a particular place and on a particular date

200
How do people cause climate change?
Humans use energy and release carbon dioxide into the air
200
What are greenhouse gases?
Gases trapped in the atmosphere
200

How do factories contribute to global warming 

toxic materials and gases, like CO2 and methane are burned and pumped into the atmosphere. 

200

How does planting trees help reduce the effects of climate change. 

trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

200

Define Climate Regions 

Areas of earth identified as having similar climate characteristics. 
300

How can air masses affect climate change ?

air masses form over warm bodies of water pick up moisture and heat from the water. As the woads carry the air masses, they bring warm, wet weather, which affects the land areas under them. 

300
How are animals affected by greenhouse gases?
Some animals can only live in cold temperatures and if temperature rises, they can become extinct

What is an example of climate change mitigation?

Switch from fossil fuels to other forms of energy such as solar 

use a fuel efficient car 

reduce, reuse and recycle

300

Define Air Mass

A large body of air that has a similar temperature and moisture conditions throughout. 

400
Name 3 Greenhouse gases
CO2, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide
400
How are green houses gases linked to global warming?
The green house gases get traped in the atmosphere therefore making the temperatures rise
400

What are fossil fuels. 

fuels, such as oil, natural gas, and coal, formed millions of years ago from the remains of plants and animals. 

400

What is an example of a climate change adaptation?

growing crops that will adapt and grow in a new climate, protection water sources, building more green spaces, expanding health care to treat and prevent problems caused by extreme weather.

400

Define Climate Factor

a natural condition or situation that affects the climate characteristics of a place

500
How will climate change affect the ocean?
Polar Ice caps may melt therefore increasing ocean levels.
500
If we continued to damage the earth,how would that affect life?
The atmoshere would overheat and therefore lifeforms would not have enough time to adapt.
500

What are things humans can do to decrease their impact

Walk, bike to school, use electric cars.

500
What is the evidence that global warming maybe happening?
Temperature changes in ocean, melting ice caps, arctic animals are dying, more hurricances, tornados and thunderstorms
500

Define Latitude 

How far something is north or south a place is from the equator
