  4. T/F Trees are a renewable resource

  5. The SW of the U.S. would be a good location for this type of renewable.

  6. What type of alternative fuel can be created from deep-fryer oil?

  7. Photovoltaic Cells convert sunlight directly into what?

  8. What is one major disadvantage of renewables when compared to nonrenewables?

  9. Name 3 naturally-occurring greenhouse gases.

  10. T/F Earth would be an ice ball if it wasn’t for the greenhouse effect

  11. What type of radiation do greenhouse gases absorb? • Incoming UV • Outgoing X-rays • Incoming Microwaves • Outgoing infrared

  12. Which man-made greenhouse gas is also the culprit for destroying stratospheric ozone? (not to confuse anyone…)

  13. When Arctic ice melts and reveals darker ocean water, what happens? • More solar energy is absorbed • More solar energy is reflected • Ice forms in Antarctica • Polar bears change their fur color

  14. Which climate factor is determined by your distance from the equator?

  15. If the average high temperature is 75 degrees for May in NJ, is this weather or climate?

  16. Which of these climate factors operate on a very LONG time scale? • Ocean Currents • Plate Tectonics • Altitude • Prevailing Winds

  17. The Great Conveyor Belt is a circuit of ocean currents that are created by differences in _________ and ___________.

  18. The CO2 from these events will WARM the planet in the long run, but SO2 and aerosols will block solar radiation and COOL the planet in the short-term. What are these natural events?

  19. What is the result in too many greenhouse gases?

  20. Melting Ice Caps and Glaciers affect everyone through • Droughts. • Extinctions. • Rising sea levels. • famine.

  21. Most anthropogenic carbon in our atmosphere over the past 200 years is from what?

  22. When organisms cannot adapt to a changing climate, what is the result? • Trophic cascade • Extinction • Sold to Taiji • They become GMOs

  23. What do climate scientists predict about severe weather in the next century? • Stronger, more frequent • Weaker, more frequent • Stonger, more rare • Weaker, more rare

  24. Any location that removes carbon from the atmosphere is called what?

  25. The Kyoto Protocol was designed to lower ____ emissions. • CH4 • CO2 • N2O • CFC

  26. Place the following objects in order from youngest to oldest “time machines” for scientists to study past climates: Fossils, tree rings, ice cores

  27. Getting the world to agree to lower carbon emissions is difficult because • Modern society runs on fossil fuels • World leaders are too selfish • Developing nations emit too much CO2 • They don’t believe it’s a problem

  28. How does deforestation increase the amount of carbon in our atmosphere?

  29. Final Jeopardy Make your wager
