What is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for global warming?

  1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

  2. Methane (CH4)

  3. Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

  4. Water Vapor (H2O)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. It is released into the atmosphere through human activities such as burning fossil fuels.

Which human activity is the leading cause of climate change?

  1. Deforestation

  2. Industrialization

  3. Agriculture

  4. Transportation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Industrialization, particularly the burning of fossil fuels for energy production, is the leading cause of climate change. It releases large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

What is the term used to describe the long-term increase in global average temperatures?

  1. Climate Change

  2. Global Warming

  3. Greenhouse Effect

  4. Carbon Footprint


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Global Warming refers to the long-term increase in global average temperatures due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Which of the following is a significant consequence of rising sea levels?

  1. Coastal Erosion

  2. Increased Flooding

  3. Salinization of Freshwater Sources

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rising sea levels can lead to coastal erosion, increased flooding, and salinization of freshwater sources, all of which have significant environmental and societal impacts.

What is the term used to describe the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change?

  1. Climate Change Mitigation

  2. Climate Change Adaptation

  3. Carbon Sequestration

  4. Renewable Energy Transition


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Climate Change Mitigation refers to actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the impacts of climate change.

Which of the following is an example of a renewable energy source?

  1. Solar Energy

  2. Wind Energy

  3. Hydropower

  4. Fossil Fuels


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solar Energy is an example of a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of the sun to generate electricity.

What is the term used to describe the process of adjusting to the impacts of climate change?

  1. Climate Change Mitigation

  2. Climate Change Adaptation

  3. Carbon Sequestration

  4. Renewable Energy Transition


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Climate Change Adaptation refers to actions taken to adjust to the impacts of climate change and build resilience to its effects.

Which of the following is an example of a greenhouse gas?

  1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

  2. Methane (CH4)

  3. Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

  4. Oxygen (O2)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is an example of a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

What is the term used to describe the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

  1. Carbon Sequestration

  2. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

  3. Carbon Pricing

  4. Renewable Energy Transition


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) refers to the process of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it underground or in geological formations.

Which of the following is an example of a climate change impact on ecosystems?

  1. Coral Bleaching

  2. Shifts in Species Distribution

  3. Changes in Plant Phenology

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Climate change impacts on ecosystems include coral bleaching, shifts in species distribution, and changes in plant phenology (timing of life cycle events).

What is the term used to describe the process of transitioning to a low-carbon economy?

  1. Climate Change Mitigation

  2. Climate Change Adaptation

  3. Carbon Sequestration

  4. Renewable Energy Transition


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Renewable Energy Transition refers to the process of shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power.

Which of the following is an example of a climate change impact on human health?

  1. Heat-Related Illnesses

  2. Increased Risk of Vector-Borne Diseases

  3. Mental Health Impacts

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Climate change impacts on human health include heat-related illnesses, increased risk of vector-borne diseases, and mental health impacts.

What is the term used to describe the process of putting a price on carbon emissions?

  1. Carbon Sequestration

  2. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

  3. Carbon Pricing

  4. Renewable Energy Transition


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Carbon Pricing refers to the process of putting a price on carbon emissions to incentivize reductions and encourage a shift to low-carbon technologies.

Which of the following is an example of a climate change impact on agriculture?

  1. Changes in Crop Yields

  2. Shifts in Growing Seasons

  3. Increased Pest and Disease Outbreaks

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Climate change impacts on agriculture include changes in crop yields, shifts in growing seasons, and increased pest and disease outbreaks.

What is the term used to describe the collective efforts of individuals, communities, and governments to address climate change?

  1. Climate Change Mitigation

  2. Climate Change Adaptation

  3. Climate Action

  4. Renewable Energy Transition


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Climate Action refers to the collective efforts of individuals, communities, and governments to address climate change, including mitigation, adaptation, and transition to a low-carbon economy.
