Question of
Which gas is the most common greenhouse gas contributing to global warming?
-
Oxygen
-
Carbon Dioxide
-
Methane
-
Nitrous Oxide
Correct Wrong
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. It is responsible for trapping heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.
-
-
Question of
What is a major consequence of global warming on weather patterns?
-
Increased Snowfall
-
Decreased Wind Speeds
-
More Frequent and Severe Hurricanes
-
Stable Rainfall Patterns
Correct Wrong
Global warming leads to higher sea surface temperatures, which contribute to more frequent and severe hurricanes.
-
-
Question of
What is an effective way to reduce your carbon footprint?
-
Using Incandescent Bulbs
-
Driving Longer Distances
-
Increasing Meat Consumption
-
Planting Trees
Correct Wrong
Planting trees is an effective way to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, thereby reducing your carbon footprint.

-
Question of
When did scientists first begin to understand the potential for global warming?
-
1990s
-
1970s
-
1800s
-
1950s
Correct Wrong
The potential for global warming was first understood in the 1800s when scientists like John Tyndall began studying the Earth's greenhouse effect.
-
-
Question of
Which of the following is a renewable energy source that helps combat global warming?
-
Coal
-
Natural Gas
-
Solar Energy
-
Petroleum
Correct Wrong
Solar energy is a renewable source that does not emit greenhouse gases during electricity generation, making it a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels.
-
-
Question of
How does global warming affect ocean levels?
-
Increases Sea Levels
-
Decreases Sea Levels
-
No Impact on Sea Levels
-
Changes Sea Color
Correct Wrong
Global warming causes glaciers and ice caps to melt, which contributes to rising sea levels. Additionally, as water warms, it expands, further increasing sea levels.
-
-
Question of
Which everyday activity contributes significantly to an individual’s carbon footprint?
-
Recycling Plastic
-
Walking to School
-
Eating Locally Grown Vegetables
-
Watching Television
Correct Wrong
Using electricity, like watching television, especially from non-renewable sources, contributes to carbon emissions, thus increasing an individual's carbon footprint.
-
-
Question of
Global warming poses a threat to wildlife primarily through:
-
Increased Habitat Size
-
Habitat Loss and Changes
-
Brighter Colors in Animals
-
More Food Availability
Correct Wrong
Global warming leads to habitat loss and changes (like melting ice in the Arctic), which pose significant threats to wildlife survival.
-
-
Question of
Which household change can reduce energy consumption and help combat global warming?
-
Using Older Appliances
-
Keeping Lights On
-
Installing LED Bulbs
-
Uninsulated Windows
Correct Wrong
LED bulbs are more energy-efficient than traditional bulbs, consuming less electricity and thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
-
-
Question of
Besides absorbing CO2, how else do trees help combat global warming?
-
By Emitting More Oxygen
-
By Reflecting Sunlight
-
By Increasing Air Pollution
-
By Producing Heat
Correct Wrong
Trees combat global warming not only by absorbing CO2 but also by emitting oxygen, which is essential for life and helps maintain the balance of gases in the atmosphere.
-
-
Question of
Deforestation contributes to global warming by:
-
Increasing Oxygen Levels
-
Removing Trees that Store Carbon Dioxide
-
Reducing Carbon Dioxide
-
Cooling the Earth’s Surface
Correct Wrong
Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere. Deforestation removes these natural carbon sinks, increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, and thereby contributing to global warming.
-
-
Question of
Why are fossil fuels considered a major contributor to global warming?
-
They Emit Oxygen When Burned
-
They Cool the Earth’s Atmosphere
-
They Produce Large Amounts of Carbon Dioxide
-
They Increase Air Freshness
Correct Wrong
Fossil fuels, when burned, release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a significant greenhouse gas. This contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
-
-
Question of
Which of the following is NOT a renewable energy source?
-
Wind Energy
-
Solar Energy
-
Hydroelectric Power
-
Coal
Correct Wrong
Coal is a fossil fuel, not a renewable energy source. Unlike wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, coal is finite and emits significant greenhouse gases when burned.
-
-
Question of
How is global warming affecting the polar regions?
-
Causing More Ice Formation
-
Decreasing Animal Populations
-
Melting Glaciers and Ice Caps
-
Increasing Land Area
Correct Wrong
Global warming is causing glaciers and ice caps in the polar regions to melt at an accelerated rate, leading to rising sea levels and habitat loss for animals like polar bears.
-
-
Question of
Global warming can affect human health by:
-
Increasing Instances of Cold Waves
-
Decreasing Allergies and Asthma
-
Increasing Heatwaves and Related Illnesses
-
Reducing the Spread of Infectious Diseases
Correct Wrong
Global warming leads to increased temperatures and heatwaves, which can result in heat-related illnesses and exacerbate conditions like heart and lung diseases.
