Test II. TRUE OR FALSE

Direction: Write FACT if the statement tells a correct idea. Otherwise, write BLUFF. (STRICTLY:
NO ERASURES)

1. Climate change is only man made.

2. Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's surface.
3. Greenhouse gas is the process by which radiation from the sun is absorbed by greenhouse
gases and not reflected back into space.
4. Temperature decreases if the amount of greenhouse gases continues to increase.
5. Using a basin when washing hands is a way to reduce carbon emissions.
6. The amount of carbon dioxide is inversely proportional to temperature.
7. La Niña is an abnormal and lengthy warming in the western part of the Pacific Ocean.
8. El Niño usually starts at the end of the year or during the Christmas season.
9. Carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur oxide, and ozone are greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
10. Climate change is the biggest threat that the world is facing right now.

Direction: Identify what is being asked in the following sentences.

1. It is the height of an area above sea level.

2. What causes the ocean currents to flow clockwise and counterclockwise?
3. These are gases in the atmosphere that absorb and emit radiant energy.
4. This happens when the upwelling of colder water is blocked by large quantities of warm
surface water.
5. As a result of this, animal species are forced to migrate to new, cooler areas to survive.
6. Is any action focus to reduce the intensity of the effects of global warming.
7. The specific north or south grid position on earth, ranging from 0 degrees at the equator.

regional, and global climates.
