atmosphere, ozone

based on the diagram which of the identifies and a characteristic of the atmosphere between the Astropause and the tropopause?

The ozone layer in the stratosphere

Which of the following is a greenhouse gas that comes only from human sources like aerosols?

Chlorofluorocarbons

Which latitude shown on the diagram above exercise is 24 hours of daylight on December 21 do the earths tilt during winter?

E

Which of the following types of releases of greenhouse gases from an anthropogenic source is shown in the diagram?

Industrial and agricultural practices releasing CH four into the atmosphere

Which of the following correctly characterizes one of earths atmospheric layers?

Layer D is the thermosphere where Aurora's are found

Which sequence of events best explains the interaction between the components of the Arctic ecosystem feedback loop

Global temperature increases - per frost thickness decreases - methane increases - global temperature increase

This layer of earths atmosphere has the highest density of any atmosphere glare and contains most of the water vapor in the atmosphere

Troposphere

Which layer of earths atmosphere contains the ozone layer that absorbs the sun's ultraviolet rays

Stratosphere

Based on the diagram, which of the following best illustrates how the biosphere can affect global climate change

Producers use solar energy for photosynthesis, decreasing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and increasing the amount of carbon she requested in planet tissue

Which of the following substances is released by CFC's and catalyze a chain reaction that breaks down ozone in the upper atmospheres

Chlorine

Which of the following best explains the impact of climate change on polar regions

Polar regions are warming more quickly than other regions because warming decreases the coverage of high Al Beto ground cover like ice and snow

Based on the graph, which of the following can be concluded about the latitudes of the two locations

Location one is close to the equator and location two is in the northern hemisphere

The primary cause of earths seasons is the

constant tilt of Earth's rotational axis with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun

El Niño, a periodic warming of ocean surface waters, occurs in which of the following regions?

Tropical east Pacific

Which of the following best explain explains why the lower portion of the troposphere is warmer than the upper portion

The surface of the earths, absorb sunlight heating the lower portion of the troposphere more than the upper part

In the diagram the Straits earths relative position on December 21 of a given year which of the following statements would be correct

The Tropic of cancer lies a shorter day and lower solar radiation intently because there is a direct relationship between day length and radiation intensity

The high sea surface temperatures in 1908 was most likely due to

El Niño

Which of the following best explains global collaboration for a sustainable environment

The Montreal protocol

Which of the following is the source of energy driving the circulation pattern labeled C in the diagram

Solar radiation

Global warming is most likely so direct cause which of the following

Coastal flooding and subversion of low lying areas

Which of the following will occur if the trend of global temperature increases continue

The troposphere will contain more water vapor

How many units of energy return to space from earth and its atmosphere?

100

Which of the following best describes the mechanism of the greenhouse effect in earths atmosphere

Infrared radiation from earth surface is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere

The polar regions radiate away more heat energy than they receive from the sun in the course of a year however, they are prevented from becoming progressively colder each year, primarily by the

Transport of heat through the atmosphere and oceans

All the following gases have been implicated in contributing to the increase in global temperature via the greenhouse effect except

O2

Based on the diagram, which of the following best predicts, how an increase in greenhouse gases would affect the ocean

The oceans would be warmed because of increased solar radiation being absorbed by the water, causing expansion and sea level rise

Which of the following best describes the importance of ozone in the stratosphere to life on earth

Ozone absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun

The data in the graph can be useful in explaining the greenhouse effect when they are compared with

mean global temperatures

The region of the world is currently experiencing the largest average annual temperature increase because of the anthropogenic climate change

D

Region with the lowest atmospheric pressure

Exosphere

Which of the following areas receives the most intense solar radiation of the time of year shown in the diagram and why?

The tropic of Capricorn because this latitude is nearly horizontal to incoming solar radiation

Which of the following is the most likely consequence of the trend for the change in C ice shown in the graphs creating a positive feedback loop in this Arctic

Decreasing reflection and increasing absorption of heat by the ocean

In which of the following atmospheric layers does the most weather occur?

Troposphere

Which of the following best describes the greenhouse effect on earth

Greenhouse gases trap heat near earth surface keeping the average surface temperature constant

Most oxygen is found in this layer of the atmosphere

Troposphere
