What do we mean by the albedo effect?

1. The degree of reflection of sunlight from a given surface
2. The degree of absorption of sunlight by a given surface
3. The degree of reflection of sunlight in general
4. The degree of absorption of sunlight in general

Methane

Albedo effect

CO2

Where in the world is the Albedo effect the largest?

1. Around the polar circle
2. In the tropical zone
3. In the temperate zone
4. In the aride zone

Does the albedo effect affect temperature or precipitation?

1. Temperature
2. Precipitation

What do you know about
the Northpole?

The seasons exist because:

1. The Earth is spinning
2. The Earth is round
3. The Earth is tilted
4. The Earth revolves around the sun

The seasons in the Netherlands

At the equator the angle of incidence of the sun is ............ than at the poles

1. Bigger
2. Smaller

What is the relationship between the angle of the sun and the temperature at the equator?

1. The equator is closer to the sun, therefore it is warmer
2. Rays have to travel a shorter distance through the atmosphere at the equator, so it is warmer
3. Rays have to travel a shorter distance through the atmosphere at the equator, so it is colder
4. The sun's rays fall straighter on the Earth's surface, so it is warmer

At the north and south poles you usually have...

1. A high pressure area
2. A low pressure area
3. Average air pressure
4. the is less air

On the Southpole you are at a

1. High latitude
2. Low latitude
3. Western longlitude
4. 0 degrees

The Southpole is a

1. Polar desert
2. Ice desert
3. Snow desert
4. Cold desert

Why does precipitation fall at the North Pole and not at the South Pole?

Who or what is Pangea?

1. The biggest volcano in Indonesia
2. Scientific name for Atlantis
3. A supercontinent from 270 million years ago
4. The name of the geologist who coined 'continental' drift

What is subduction?

A rift zone is created by...

1. Convergence
2. Subduction
3. Divergence
4. Transform movement

Someone makes two statements

I Volcanism occurs in the rift zone in Antarctica.
II In the rift zone in Antarctica, stratovolcanoes are formed by subduction.

1. I and II are both correct.
2. I and II are both incorrect.
3. I is correct en II is incorrect.
4. I is incorrect en II is correct.

What influence does the ocean current (Westenwinddrift) have on the Antarctic region?

1. It is a warm ocean current that gives the South Pole warm winds
2. It is a cold sea current that gives the South Pole cold winds
3. This ocean current has no influence on the Antarctic region

What is permafrost?

1. Soil that is always frozen
2. Ground that is always frozen
3. Soil and ground that are always frozen
4. Vegetation and soils that are always frozen

What does thawing permafrost have to do with climate change?

1. Nothing
2. CO2 and methane are released
3. subsidence of houses
4. more water in the sea

What are the consequences of
climate change?

Moulins ensure that meltwater reaches the bottom of the ice, causing the ice to melt and break down?

1. Correct
2. False

Explain the difference between the greenhouse effect and the enhanced greenhouse effect.
