paper.
1. How do you describe a greenhouse effect? a.
It is a greenhouse.
b. It is the climate change legislation passed by congress.
c. It is when you paint your house green to become environment friendly. d.
It is when the gases in our atmosphere trap heat and block it from
escaping our planet Earth.
2. Which of the following best describes global warming? a.
It is the current temperatures on Earth.
b. It is the increase in the average temperatures on Earth.
c. It refers to a change in the Earth's climate that is causing it to heat up. d.
All of the above.
3. Among the sources of greenhouse gas emissions, which of the following is
the greatest?
a. Agriculture b. Energy
c. Industrial processes d. Wastes
4. Climate change creates so many effects on us. Which of the following shows
the effect of climate change?
a. Rising of sea level
b. Deforestation of the forest
c. Coastal erosion in some places d.
Siltation of bodies of water
5. How are you going to help decrease global warming? a.
Keep your freezer door open.
b. Turn on all your appliances.
c. Keep your air conditioner on high.
d. Turn off your lights when you’re not using it.
RECAP
MODIFIED TRUE or FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and if it is
FALSE change the underlined word to make the statement correct.
1. Greenhouse uses the sun to create a warm environment.
2. Greenhouse gases prevent heat from escaping the earth thus making earth’s
temperature lower.
3. The greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), water vapor
(H2O), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ozone (O3).
4. If there is too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there would be an
increase in global temperature.
5. According to the graph, carbon dioxide is the greatest greenhouse gas
emissions.
