About This Quiz


Climate change is a long-term shift in global or regional climate patterns. Climate change often specifically refers to the rise in global temperatures. It has caused severe changes in weather patterns. It also relates to sea-level rise caused by the expansion of warmer seas and melting ice sheets and glaciers. Freeze right there and take this quiz to see how much do you understand about climate change.

  • 2. 

    Sea levels will rise as the Earth gets warmer.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    As the Earth warms, sea levels will rise. Melting ice from glaciers and polar caps contributes to the rising levels.

    What is the most common greenhouse gas emitted from human activities?

    • Nitrous Oxide

    • Carbon Dioxide

    • Methane

    • Oxygen

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbon Dioxide
    Explanation
    Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas emitted from human activities. It is released through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as deforestation and other industrial processes. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Methane and nitrous oxide are also greenhouse gases, but they are emitted in smaller quantities compared to carbon dioxide. Oxygen, on the other hand, is not a greenhouse gas and does not contribute to global warming.

    What is the greenest form of transportation?

    • Car

    • Bicycle

    • Bus

    • Train

    Correct Answer
    A. Bicycle
    Explanation
    Travelling by bus or train is more environmentally friendly than taking a car, but riding your bike or walking is the greenest way to go

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of these contributes to climate change?

    • Deforestation

    • Burning fossil fuels

    • Landfills

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All 3 release CO2 into the atmosphere and cause the planet to warm

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which type of radiation is absorbed by the Ozone Layer?

    • UV

    • Gamma-ray

    • X-ray

    • Green

    Correct Answer
    A. UV
    Explanation
    The correct answer is UV. The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. UV radiation is harmful to living organisms and can cause sunburn, skin cancer, and other health issues. The ozone layer acts as a protective shield by absorbing most of the UV radiation, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface. This is why it is crucial to preserve and protect the ozone layer to maintain a healthy environment.

    Which of these is not a source of renewable energy?

    • Wind power

    • Hydropower

    • Fossil fuels

    • Geothermal power

    Correct Answer
    A. Fossil fuels
    Explanation
    When we run out of fossil fuels there won’t be anymore

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Climate change may cause the water levels of the ocean to rise because:

    • Climate change causes tides to occur

    • More people enjoy swimming in a warmer ocean, this will cause the water to rise (like Archimedes bath principle)

    • Glaciers and polar ice caps are melting which adds more water to the oceans

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Glaciers and polar ice caps are melting which adds more water to the oceans
    Explanation
    The melting of glaciers and polar ice caps contributes to the rise in water levels of the ocean. As these ice formations melt, they release large amounts of water that flow into the oceans, causing the water levels to increase. This is a well-known consequence of climate change and is supported by scientific evidence. The other options provided in the question, such as climate change causing tides or more people swimming in warmer oceans causing the water to rise, are not accurate explanations for the rising water levels.

    In the world, what is the fastest growing source of renewable power technology?

    • Wind Turbines

    • Hydroelectricity

    • Solar Panels

    • Diesel Generators

    Correct Answer
    A. Wind Turbines
    Explanation
    Wind turbines are the fastest growing source of renewable power technology because they harness the power of wind to generate electricity. Wind turbines are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to produce clean and sustainable energy. They are being installed in various parts of the world, both onshore and offshore, to take advantage of the abundant wind resources. Additionally, advancements in technology have made wind turbines more efficient and cost-effective, further driving their growth in the renewable energy sector.
