T/F-When glaciers formed true
the CO2 concentrations in
the atmosphere were low
T/F-A major cause of sea true
level rise is the water is
expanding on warming
Greenhouse gases in the false
atmosphere absorb visible
light
Water vapor in the true
atmosphere absorbs more
wavelengths of
electromagnetic radiation
than does carbon dioxide
The downward flux true
(amount) of infrared
radiation from the
atmosphere is about twice
as high as incoming
sunlight to the earth
Incoming radiation to the false
earth is larger than the
radiation being returned
to space. The excess
energy is being stored
mostly in the atmosphere
A climate forcing agent false
always increases earth's
temperature
Sunspots are one type of true
climate forcing agent

If an object has an albedo true
of 70%, then 70% of the

Ensembles or groups of true
models are used to make
predictions of future
average global
temperatures
In order to agree with false
observations of
temperature, climate
models must exclude the
impacts of greenhouse
gases
A representative true
concentration pathway
(RCP) of 8.5 assumes
higher concentrations of
CO2gases in the
atmosphere by 2100 than
and an RCP of 2.5

ocean returns to the
ocean as rain without
going over land
Groundwater holds most true
of the fresh water that
humans use
