Climate Change- Extended Quiz
15 questions to test your knowledge on climate change
3
Open Ended
1. Define the term climate change
4
Define the term climate change
A change in global or regional climate patterns, attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels
5
Open Ended
2. Define what a carbon footprint is
6
Define what a carbon footprint is
The amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, organisation, or community.
7
Open Ended
3. Identify one human cause of climate change
8
Human causes of climate change:
Deforestation, urbanisation (building and expanding areas).
9
Open Ended
4. Identify one natural cause of climate change
10
Natural causes of climate change:
Volcanic eruptions, sun spots, solar activity
11
Open Ended
5. How will increased agriculture lead to global warming?
12
How will increased agriculture lead to global warming?
More cows= more methane produced in the atmosphere= more heat energy trapped in the atmosphere= global warming
13
Open Ended
6. Identify one social effect of climate change
14
Social effects of climate change:
People have a lack of resources e.g. food and water
Farmers are not able to grow crops due to changing weather conditions
15
Open Ended
7. Identify one environmental effect of climate change
16
Environmental effect of climate change:
Land becomes very dry, reservoirs dry up, ice caps melt, sea levels rise
17
Open Ended
9. What does the term adaptation mean?
18
Adaptation is:
The process of adjusting to current or expected climate change and its effects. It is one of the ways to respond to climate change
19
Open Ended
10. What does the term mitigation mean?
20
Mitigation is:
Reducing the severity or seriousness of global warming.
21
Open Ended
11. What is the definition of renewable energy?
22
Renewable energy is:
Energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power.
23
Open Ended
12. Provide three examples of renewable energy
24
Renewable energy examples:
Solar, wind, hydro-electric, tidal
25
Open Ended
13. What are fossil fuels? A definition is needed not an example.
26
Fossil fuels are:
A natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed over millions of years from the remains of living organisms.
27
Open Ended
14. Provide an example of a fossil fuel
28
Fossil fuel examples:
Coal, gas and oil
29
Open Ended
15. Which type of countries have high carbon emissions (LIC, HIC or NEEs), contributing to climate change and why?
30
Highest polluting carbon emission countries:
HICs: high energy use, transport use
NEEs: development in the form of factories and manufacturing
31

Multiple Choice
What is solar power?
The use of wind to provide mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators for electrical power.
Power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water
The conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity
The use of reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity
42
Multiple Choice
What is tidal power?
Burning plant or animal material for energy production
This power is harnessed by converting energy from tides into useful forms of energy
Power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water
The conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity
43
Multiple Choice
What is geothermal power?
Power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water
Burning plant or animal material for energy production
The use of reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity
Power that is generated using steam produced by heat coming from the melting centre of the earth.
44
Multiple Choice
What is hydro-power?
Power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water
This power is harnessed by converting energy from tides into useful forms of energy
Power that is generated using steam produced by heat coming from the melting centre of the earth.
Burning plant or animal material for energy production
45
Multiple Choice
What is biomass?
Power that is generated using steam produced by heat coming from the melting centre of the earth.
The use of wind to provide mechanical power through wind turbines to turn electric generators for electrical power.
Burning plant or animal material for energy production
The conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity
