**There are multiple correct answers... look at the data table to make sure your partner is right
How do ice cores help us learn about the past?
What is the chemical formula/name of Carbon dioxide?
CO2
Write 3 examples of the cryosphere
Ice, snow, hail, frozen lake
What is a dependent variable?
The variable that is being measured during an experiment
What is a coastal community?
A community that is near a coast/ocean
What is causing temperature to increase
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
Humans producing CO2
Greenhouse gasses (CO2 is a greenhouse gas)
What is the defintion of an independent variable (IV)?
Independent variable is what is being changed in an experiment
What is the hydrophere?
All the water on earth
What does "albedo" mean?
How much energy/light an object or material can reflect
Name 2 coastal communities
Check with your teacher for this one
What happened in the year without summer?
A volcano erupted, and ash blocked out the sun. This causes winter time during the summer because the sunʻs energy could not get to earth.
Fill in the blank. When particles slows down, energy ______________ and temperture _________________

2) decreases/lowers
What type of energy/light do humans see?
Visible light
How are people responding to sea level rise to protect its people?
Moving, creating sea walls, lifting the place up higher,
Fill in the blank....
When the volume of ice decreases, temperature of earth ____________ and the sea level ____________

1 - Give an example of a mixture
2 - Give an exmaple of a solution
Mixture (something where you can see the different parts, like chex mix)
Solution (something that has different parts but looks like 1 thing...ex fruit punch)
Your teacher can check this!
How much will the sea level rise if the cryosphere melts completely?
About 84 m or 83.34 m
Would "purple" have a low albedo or a high albedo?
Convince your partner/teacher
**should be a low albedo
Explain which community solution helps protect its people from sea level rise
Convince your partner! Use evidence to defend your ideas
What causes seasons?
Look at Earthʻs orbit evidence...
What was the purpose of the lab we did in lesson 3? How did it relate to our sea level rise model?
Look at notes 3.2B for correct answers
Explain & draw how the berm helps prevent ice melt
Ask your teacher to grade this one
What type of light energy is absorbed by CO2? What type is transmitted?
Absorbed = IR (infrared)
Transmitted = Visible light
