concentrations of greenhouse gases
number of flood days per year
How does climate change affect energy in the atmosphere?
Increased ice causes less energy to be reflected
Decreased ice causes less energy to be reflected.
Increased ice causes more energy to be reflected.
Decreased ice causes more energy to be reflected.
What does a model of the rock cycle show?
The amount of Earth’s carbon increases.
The amount of Earth’s carbon decreases.
The amount of Earth’s carbon is constant.
The amount of Earth’s carbon cannot be determined.
Scientists believe that the (Milankovitch cycles, tilt of the earths axis, sea levels, low temperature) explain why Earth’s (climate has, tilt of earths axis has, low temperatures have, sea levels have) fluctuated between glacial periods and interglacial periods.
i think 1 is c, 2 is c. and 3 is Milankovitch cycles and temperatures.
You are correct with your answers for the first two questions. Here's the breakdown of the correct answers:
1. Which factor should be included in a model of energy flow into the atmosphere?
- The concentration of greenhouse gases.
2. How does climate change affect energy in the atmosphere?
- Increased ice causes more energy to be reflected.
3. What does a model of the rock cycle show?
- The amount of Earth's carbon is constant.
4. Scientists believe that the (Milankovitch cycles, tilt of the earth's axis, sea levels, low temperature) explain why Earth's (climate has, tilt of earth's axis has, low temperatures have, sea levels have) fluctuated between glacial periods and interglacial periods.
- Scientists believe that the Milankovitch cycles explain why Earth's climate has fluctuated between glacial periods and interglacial periods.
To answer these questions, you need to consider the information provided and apply your knowledge of the topic. Let's break down the questions and go through the reasoning for each answer.
1) Which factor should be included in a model of energy flow into the atmosphere?
The correct answer is "concentrations of greenhouse gases." To determine this, you need to understand that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can trap energy in the Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, variations in local temperatures, places experiencing drought, and the number of flood days per year may have an impact on energy distribution, but they are not direct factors in the model of energy flow into the atmosphere.
2) How does climate change affect energy in the atmosphere?
The correct answer is "Decreased ice causes more energy to be reflected." This is because as ice melts, less of the Sun's energy is reflected back into space, and more is absorbed by the Earth's surface. Increased ice cover, on the other hand, leads to higher reflectivity (albedo) and thus less energy absorption overall.
3) What does a model of the rock cycle show?
The correct answer is "The amount of Earth's carbon is constant." The rock cycle is a model that describes the continuous cycle of transformation of rocks from one form to another. While the rock cycle involves processes like weathering, erosion, and deposition, it does not directly affect the amount of carbon on Earth.
4) Scientists believe that the (Milankovitch cycles, tilt of the Earth's axis, sea levels, low temperatures) explain why Earth's (climate has, tilt of Earth's axis has, low temperatures have, sea levels have) fluctuated between glacial periods and interglacial periods.
The correct answer is "Milankovitch cycles" and "tilt of the Earth's axis." Scientists propose that variations in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt, known as Milankovitch cycles, play a significant role in the long-term climate variations, including glacial and interglacial periods. This theory suggests that these cycles affect the amount and distribution of solar energy received by the Earth, leading to changes in climate patterns.
Therefore, to summarize:
1) In a model of energy flow into the atmosphere, the factor to include is "concentrations of greenhouse gases."
2) Climate change affects energy in the atmosphere by "Decreased ice causes more energy to be reflected."
3) A model of the rock cycle does not impact the amount of Earth's carbon; it is "The amount of Earth's carbon is constant."
4) Scientists believe that "Milankovitch cycles" and "tilt of the Earth's axis" are the factors that explain why Earth's "climate has" fluctuated between glacial periods and interglacial periods.
