Questions and Answers

What is the main cause of global warming effect on the earth's climate?

  • Increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (correct)
  • Less evaporation of water vapor
  • Decreased absorption of solar radiation
  • Dissolved carbon dioxide in cooler oceans

How does the release of more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere impact oceans?

  • Decreases oceanic temperatures
  • Lowers the evaporation rate of water
  • Promotes coral reef growth
  • Increases ocean acidification (correct)

What happens to tundra regions as a result of global temperature rise?

  • Decreased evaporation leading to desertification
  • Increased thawing of frozen ground (correct)
  • Promotion of polar bear population growth
  • Enhanced carbon storage in permafrost
