3. 3. What are the factors that affect climate of an area? I. Altitude II. Latitude III. Topography IV. Wind system V. Ocean Wave A. I, II, III B. II, III, V C. I, II, III, IV D. II, III, IV, V 4. How do the natural factors interact to influence climate, and how might this interaction vary in different regions? A. Prevailing winds and human activity interact, leading to uniform climate changes worldwide. B. The El Niño phenomenon and distance from the equator interact to create varying climate patterns, particularly in tropical regions. C. Latitude and greenhouse gas emissions interact to determine climate, with more pronounced changes occurring at higher latitudes. D. Proximity to the sea and shape of the land interact to influence relief and topography, affecting climate differently across diverse landscapes.

4. The term "climate change" describes long-term changes in weather and temperature. It is the change in the usual temperature or the rise in average surface temperature on Earth due to some factors such as human activities. The ongoing ice mass loss in Greenland, Antarctica, and the Arctic is a critical manifestation of global climate change. Greenland's ice sheet has been experiencing accelerated melting, contributing to rising sea levels globally. Antarctica, with its vast ice reserves, exhibits a complex pattern of ice mass changes, involving both gains and losses in different regions. The Arctic, characterized by sea ice, has been undergoing a reduction in extent and thickness due to rising temperatures, leading to far-reaching consequences for local ecosystems and global climate patterns. These trends underscore the urgency of addressing climate change to mitigate the impacts on sea levels, weather systems, and the delicate balance of polar environments. Continued scientific monitoring and research are essential to understanding and responding to these dynamic and interconnected processes.

5. 5. What is the primary consequence of the ongoing ice mass loss in Greenland, Antarctica, and the Arctic? A. Rising sea levels on a global scale. B. Localized impacts on polar ecosystems. C. Accelerated melting of Greenland's ice sheet. D. Complex patterns of ice mass changes in Antarctica. 6.What is being referred to as the change in regular climatic pattern? A. Carbon footprint B. Climate change C. Global warming D. Enhanced greenhouse effect

6. 7.Which regions are mentioned in the passage as experiencing ice mass loss due to global climate change? A. Greenland, Antarctica, and the Arctic. B. Antarctica, the Arctic, and the Himalayas. C. Greenland, the Himalayas, and the Arctic. D. Antarctica, Greenland, and the Sahara Desert. 8.How does the reduction in Arctic Sea ice extent and thickness contribute to far-reaching consequences, as mentioned in the passage? A. By leading to localized impacts on Arctic ecosystems only. B. By directly causing gains in ice mass in other polar regions. C. By playing a role in rising sea levels and affecting global climate patterns. D. By having no significant impact on weather systems and polar environments

7. 9. Which scenario BEST demonstrates warmer temperature change is affecting the world? A. Warmer temperature causes birds lay eggs at the right time of the year. B. Warmer temperature causes hibernation of some animals happen at the usual time. C. Warmer temperature species of plants bloomed earlier than expected. D.
