1
Where do all greenhouse gasses exist?
Stratosphere
Thermosphere
Troposphere
Mesophere
2
What are the layers of the atmosphere?
Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
Troposphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and exosphere
Mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
Stratosphere, mesosphere, troposphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
3
Which form of electromagnetic radiation interacts the least with greenhouse gasses?
Visible
Microwave
UV (ultraviolet)
Infrared
4
What is global warming?
The average temperature of every part of Earth rising
The average temperature of Earth as a whole rising
5
What ELSE happens when the surface of the Earth receives radiation?
Earth reflects the radiation, and then it's absorbed by greenhouse gasses
Earth reflects the radiation it doesn't absorb back into space
6
After radiation enters the atmosphere and reaches the surface of the Earth, what happens?
Earth absorbs some of the radiation and reemits it as mainly microwave
Earth absorbs some of the radiation and reemits it as mainly UV
Earth absorbs some of the radiation and reemits it as mainly infrared
Earth absorbs some of the radiation and reemits it as mainly visible light
7
Outgoing infrared radiation interacting with greenhouse gasses is an example of what?
The greenhouse effect
It is an example of all of them
Global warming
Climate change
8
What gas exists in the stratosphere?
Carbon dioxide, not a greenhouse gas. Blocks incoming infrared radiation
Ozone, but it's not a greenhouse gas. It blocks incoming UV radiation
Ozone, and it contributes to the greenhouse effect
Carbon dioxide, and it contributes to the greenhouse effect
9
Why does the greenhouse effect cause global warming?
Humans enhance the greenhouse effect
Humans make the greenhouse layer thinner
Humans make the greenhouse layer thicker
It just does
10
Which form of electromagnetic radiation interacts the most with greenhouse gasses?
UV (ultraviolet)
Infrared
Visible
X-ray
11
RECAP: Which term is exactly the same as "climate change"?
None of them
Greenhouse effect
Weather
Global warming
12
How is climate different from weather?
Climate is over large areas and over long time periods
Climate is over small areas and over long time periods
Climate is over large areas and over short time periods
Climate is over small areas and over short time periods
13
Which is the higher energy form of electromagnetic radiation?
Visible
Microwave
UV (ultraviolet)
Infrared
14
When you feel something is hot, which form of electromagnetic radiation is it most likely?
Infrared
Visible
X-ray
UV (ultraviolet)
15
Earth's "reflectivity" or albedo varies. Which has the highest reflectivity/albedo?
Snow
Oceans
Trees
Tarmac
16
Which term is not directly related to climate change?
Global warming
Weather
Greenhouse effect
Climate change
17
What happens to the outgoing infrared radiation?
It bounces off of the greenhouse gas layer and stays in the atmosphere
It interacts with greenhouse gasses and stays in the atmosphere
It escapes into space
Some interact with greenhouse gasses, and some escape into space
18
How is climate change different from global warming?
Global warming is a type of effect of climate change
Global warming is a type of mitigation of climate change
Global warming is the same as climate change
Global warming is a type of cause of climate change
19
Which term is exactly the same as "climate change"?
Global warming
Weather
None of them
Greenhouse effect
