Questions for Quiz, Block 3 Ideas

  1. Carbon dioxide is made by :  cats breathing, plants photosynthesizing, bikes moving, coal sitting in a pile.
  2. Water vapor condenses into:  lightning, rain, grass, clouds
  3. Evaporation is when:  rain falls from the sky, water turns into a gas, gas turns into clouds, all of the above
  4. When carbon is used and resused it is called:  the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, the water cycle, global warming
  5. Reusing paper is:  climate change, greenhouse effect, an impact on the carbon footprint, more effective than cloth bags
  6. The nitrogen cycle has to deal with the transfer of:   water vapor, decay of organism and their absorption by plants, formation of oxygen and photosynthesis
  7. The heat of the sun causes water vapor to:  bubble, evaporate, move more slowly
  8. Which is not a fertilizer in the nitrogen cycle:  animal waste,  photosynthesis, decay products, anhydrous ammonia
  9. Which will have the biggest effect on decreasing your carbon footprint:  driving, using plastic bags instead of paper, keeping a tv with a remote, carpooling
  10. When water vapor falls to the ground, it is called:  evaporation, condensation, precipitation, greenhouse effect
  11. When farmers fertilize their fields, they are impacting which cycle:  nitrogen, carbon, water, global warming
  12. Respiration happens in which cycle:  nitrogen, carbon, water, global warming
  13. Lightning affects what cycle by transferring a product to a different sink:  water, carbon, tree,nitrogen
  14. What cycle is NOT affected when we breathe?   water, carbon, nitrogen
  15. Animal waste is able to be used as:  compost, fertilizer, fuel, all of the above
  16. List 3 ways carbon is released into the air from other sinks.
  17. What is the biggest producer of CO2 into the air in the carbon cycle?  ducks,grass, people,power plants
  18. How does global warming affect you?  temperature extremes, how much CO2 in the air, a rise in the ocean, not at all, all of the above if it gets hot enough
  19. Why can sunlight get in but not get back out of the earth's atmosphere with the greenhouse effect?  the waves are shorter on the way back out to space, the waves are longer on the way back out to space, the waves get trapped in carbon sinks in the water
  20. If CO2 levels rise over time on data collection station, is this evidence for global warming?  WHy or Why not?
