5. Identify the ways in which a rooftop garden can reduce the heat absorbed, compared to an asphalt roof. Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
Soil holds water that would have run off the roof.
Plants release water vapor.
The soil is heavier than the asphalt.
The surface is rougher and more varied than the asphalt.

A They move warm water along the bottom of the ocean from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
B They move cold water along the bottom of the ocean from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
C They move warm water along the bottom of the ocean from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
D They move cold water along the bottom of the ocean from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
8. What effects does ionizing radiation have on the atmosphere? Select the two correct answers.(1 point)
It helps atoms to escape Earth's gravity in the exosphere.
It ionizes atoms and molecules in the thermosphere.
It is the chief cause of warming in the troposphere.

What are the answers
For those that got alternate questions for "Identify three processes in which a rooftop garden can reduce the heat absorbed, compared to blablabla..."
-The Garden insulates the building from heat better than asphalt
-Plants release water vaper whereas asphalt does nit
The gardens and plants have a higher albedo than asphalt
