Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

How is global warming different from earlier changes in Earth's climate?
Human-caused global warming can be limited. Natural changes can't be controlled.
What do greenhouse gases absorb?
Infrared energy in Earth's atmosphere
What change in the atmosphere appears to contribute to global warming?
Increased carbon dioxide
When do trees grow thicker rings?
In years where they grow more because their needs are met
How is Earth's climate affected by major volcanic eruptions?
Aerosols and ash from eruptions can reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface which causes climates to cool.
How does the movement of continents explain changes in climate over millions of years?
Latitude affects temperature.
What are sunspots?
Dark, cooler regions on the surface of the sun.
What is probably the main cause of ice ages?
Variations in Earth's orbit
What are solutions for limiting global warming?
Finding clean sources of energy, being more energy efficient, and removing carbon from fossil fuel emissions.
What are effects of global warming?
Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, drought, desertification, changes in the biosphere, and regional changes in temperature.
How can human activities cause global temperatures to rise?
By increasing the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Why are highland regions considered a climate region?
Temperatures fall as altitude increases, so highland regions are colder than the regions that surround them.
Why are rainforests common in tropical wet regions?
There are high temperatures and heavy rainfall year-round.
What climate region is semiarid with short grasses and low bushes?
Steppe
What are possible natural explanations for major climate changes?
Movement of continents, variations in the position of the Earth relative to the sun, major volcanic eruptions, and changes in the sun's energy output
What important principle do scientists follow in studying ancient climates?
If plants and animals today need certain conditions to live, then similar plants and animals in the past also required those conditions.
List three of the six climate regions.
Tropical rainy, dry, temperate marine, temperate continental, polar, and highlands
What factors do scientists use to classify climates?
Temperature, Precipitation, and Vegetation
How are summer monsoons different from winter monsoons?
Winter monsoons blow dry air off land; summer monsoons blow moisture onto land.
Explain how distance from large bodies of water can affect the temperature of nearby land areas.
Water heats and cools more slowly than land slowing the heating and cooling of nearby land areas.
Which temperature zone (tropical, temperate, or polar) has the highest average temperatures all year? Why?
Tropical zone because it's near the equator
The long-term weather in an area is its climate which includes what three things?
Average temperature, precipitation, and wind.
In which temperature zone (tropical, temperate, or polar) do temperatures range from warm or hot summers to cool or cold winters?
Temperate Zones
What three factors affect precipitation?
Prevailing winds, presence of mountains, and seasonal winds.
What four factors affect temperature?
latitude, altitude, distance from large bodies of water, and ocean currents
