  1. What is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for global warming?

    • Methane
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    • Nitrous oxide
    • Ozone

  2. How does the greenhouse effect work to trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere?

    • By reflecting sunlight away from Earth
    • By absorbing heat in the atmosphere
    • By releasing heat into space
    • By cooling the Earth's surface

  3. What is the major source of carbon dioxide emissions resulting from human activities?

    • Deforestation
    • Burning fossil fuels
    • Volcanic eruptions
    • Solar energy

  4. Can you explain the difference between climate change and global warming?

    • Climate change is the long-term change in weather patterns; global warming is a specific type of climate change.
    • Global warming is the long-term change in weather patterns; climate change is a specific type of global warming.
    • They are the same thing, and the terms can be used interchangeably.
    • Climate change refers to natural weather fluctuations; global warming is a human-induced process.

  5. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of a warming planet?

    • Decreased sea levels
    • More frequent and severe hurricanes
    • Rapid growth of polar ice caps
    • Expansion of desert areas

  6. How do greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide contribute to global warming?

    • They reflect sunlight away from the Earth's surface.
    • They trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures.
    • They cool the planet by releasing excess heat into space
    • They have no impact on global temperatures

  7. What role does the natural greenhouse effect play in regulating Earth's temperature?

    • It has no effect on Earth's temperature
    • It cools the planet by reflecting sunlight away
    • It traps just the right amount of heat to maintain a habitable climate
    • It contributes to extreme temperature fluctuations
