Which of the following is a greenhouse gas?

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Oxygen

  3. Nitrogen

  4. Argon


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere.

What is the primary cause of climate change?

  1. Deforestation

  2. Volcanic eruptions

  3. Solar flares

  4. Human activities


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary cause of climate change.

Which of the following is a renewable energy source?

  1. Coal

  2. Natural gas

  3. Solar energy

  4. Nuclear energy


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gases.

What is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere called?

  1. Carbon capture and storage

  2. Carbon sequestration

  3. Carbon offsetting

  4. Carbon pricing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon capture and storage is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to prevent it from contributing to climate change.

Which of the following is an example of a climate adaptation strategy?

  1. Building seawalls to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels

  2. Developing drought-resistant crops

  3. Investing in renewable energy

  4. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Building seawalls to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels is an example of a climate adaptation strategy.

What is the term used to describe the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

  1. Climate mitigation

  2. Climate adaptation

  3. Carbon capture and storage

  4. Carbon offsetting


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Climate mitigation refers to the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow the pace of climate change.

Which of the following is a type of carbon offset?

  1. Planting trees

  2. Investing in renewable energy

  3. Reducing energy consumption

  4. Purchasing carbon credits


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Purchasing carbon credits is a type of carbon offset that allows individuals or organizations to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions by supporting projects that reduce emissions elsewhere.

What is the term used to describe the process of preparing for and responding to the impacts of climate change?

  1. Climate mitigation
