2. _________ is measured over a long period of time Weather Climate Temperature None of the above I. Multiple Choices

3. 2. A desert has a/an ____ climate Arid/Dry Tropical Cold Windy

4. 3. An arid climate is characterized by ___________ Its humidity Its snow Regular precipitation Little precipitation

5. 4. Which of the following is NOT a greenhouse gas? Oxygen Carbon dioxide Nitrous oxide Water vapor

6. 5. What do you call the blanket in earth’s atmosphere that traps the sun’s heat? Ozone layer Atmospheric pressure Troposphere None of the above

7. 6. Climate change is characterized by _____________. Hotter summers Colder winters Global warming All of the above

8. 7. The rapid change of the climate is mainly caused by _________ Earth’s alignment with respect to the sun Destructive human activities The normal development of the planet Eco-friendly activities

9. 8. What causes the depletion of the ozone layer? Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere The sun interacting with the ozone molecules CFCs present in the atmosphere Trees releasing oxygen into the atmosphere

10. 9. Why is climate change a problem on our biodiversity? It causes the reduction of sea ice It hinders them to adapt quick enough It causes coral bleaching It enables to thrive

11. 10. Why is the ice sheets important in keeping the planet cool? It is home for polar bears, penguins etc. It is the highest percentage of freshwater on Earth with it being 2% out of 3% It reflects solar radiation back to space It melts causing sea levels to rise displacing people and communities

13. 16. Ocean absorbs surface heat reducing global temperature 17. Large-scale mining leaves harmful chemicals behind 18. Forests helps cool the Earth 19. Using renewable energy sources helps address the climate crisis. 20. Coal and oil are examples of renewable energy resources II. TRUE or FALSE

14. A. 21. Trees 22.Climate Change 23. Ozone Layer 24. Solar energy 25. Weather 26. Oceans 27. Deforestation 28. Forests 29. Solar radiation 30. Carbon dioxide III. Matching Type B. Greenhouse gas Absorb carbon dioxide Renewable energy source Hotter summer, colder winters Help cool Earth Energy coming from the sun The blanket at Earth’s atmosphere Day-to-day atmospheric conditions Absorb surface heat Cutting down of trees

15. THE IMPORTANCE OF TREES Trees are important because they absorb 31._________ in the atmosphere. They help reduce the level of greenhouse gases. As a result, the earth becomes 32._______ . It is said that the average 33._______ absorbs an average of 10 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. A 34______ has thousands of trees, so its presence contributes a lot significantly 35.__________ the level of carbon 36._________ in the atmosphere. However, 37.__________ companies are destroying forests. By irresponsibly cutting down trees, these companies are making Earth 38.__________. Without trees, there would be too much carbon dioxide in the 39.__________. Without trees, humans and other living things would be deprived of 40.________ too. That is why we need to take care of our trees. Trees give us life. Trees makes us live. IV. Fill in the Blanks
