Correct! Wrong!

When the Sun's energy is reflected by the Earth's surface what type of energy does it become?

Correct! Wrong!

True or false? Gases in the atmosphere naturally act like an insulating layer letting short-wave radiation in, but trap long-wave radiation helping to keep the Earth at a habitable temperature.

Correct! Wrong!

Some greenhouse gases are stronger than others. Which of the following absorbs the most heat?

Correct! Wrong!

Greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for different periods of time. Which of the following remains in the atmosphere for 10 years after being emitted?

Correct! Wrong!

True or false? The longer greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere, the more they'll contribute to warming.

Correct! Wrong!

True or false? Humans are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Correct! Wrong!

There is a scientific consensus that human activities are causing climate change by adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. What is this known as?

Correct! Wrong!

True or false? Too much greenhouse gas in the atmosphere means too much energy is trapped and the planet warms up. Humans are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases.

Well done! You have a great understanding of this area of geography!

Not a bad effort at all, but you should consider revising this area a bit more.

Hmmmmmm, you might want to spend some time revising this area of geography.
