Perguntas do quiz (10)
1The Earth's climate system depends on two things... (please tick both)
- AThe way heat energy moves in and out of our atmosphere
- BThe configuration of the Milky Way galaxy
- COur Earth's magnetic field
- DThe way heat energy moves around our atmosphere and oceans
2What provides most of the heat energy that reaches our atmosphere?
- AThe moon
- BThe sun
- COther stars
3All the heat energy from the sun is eventually released back into space, but it can be trapped in our atmosphere and in the Earth first
- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
4Greenhouse gases are...
- AGases that absorb some of the heat energy from the sun before it escapes into space, trapping it in our atmosphere for longer
- BGases that allow the heat energy to pass straight through, back into space
5Which of these are greenhouse gases?
- AOxygen
- BCarbon dioxide
- CWater vapour
- DNitrogen
- EMethane
6Greenhouse gases play an important role in keeping our Earth warm enough for us to live
- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
7What causes different seasons, and affects weather and climate at different latitudes?
- AThe Earth's orbit being closer or further from the sun
- BThe Earth's tilt causing places to be tilted towards or away from the sun
- CThe sun's intensity changing over the year
8Because heat energy is unevenly distributed over the earth (more at the equator, less at the poles), the atmosphere moves the heat to try to equalise it
- AVerdadeiro

9At areas of low pressure, warm air [blank_start]rises[blank_end], often bringing rain and [blank_start]wind[blank_end]. This air then cools and starts to fall, causing areas of [blank_start]high[blank_end] pressure. High pressure areas are often calm and [blank_start]clear[blank_end]. These cycles of warm and cool air and changing air pressure cause most of our weather.

10Changes in ocean temperature and saltiness cause currents of warm and cool water in the oceans too, which contribute to climate
